Found it - Don McDowell - 09-09-2014
My sight disc was under a handful of cleaning patches about the same size I remember now taking out of my little line box the other day getting ready for this past weekends fun.
Oh well another 60 rounds to load and I'm ready to go shoot the big one at the Whittington Center..

don,
enjoy Whittington centre.
not a place for big egos, but a great place to learn.
I envy you, and hope to go there for creedmoor myself one day.
keep safe,
bruce.

Bruce , I had the greatest time shooting there last year. It's 6 long days shooting but what a learning experience it is.
The Whittington it's self is a beautiful place, it is sort of awe inspiring looking at the scenery that surrounds you on the firing line. Not to mention the antelope chasing back and forth, and the deer that lay and watch you drive to the range, and come around the campground in the late evening just to see what's happening. The elk in the middle of the campground bugling, screaming and fighting all night....
The entire thing is well worth the trip.
Sure hate to think this years match could very well be the last one.

Sounds like a good article to write, for the newsletter.
Best of luck!

Don, glad to hear you found your sight caddy. Normally you find things lke that just after you purchase a replacement.So nice of it to make it's presence known before you went down that route.

Gary , yes I believe an article on that and the Byers match might be good.
Sam I was just sick , thinking about having to replace that thing. I had 2 1/2 sets of aperatures in there, both the A and B cards and some from C Sharps..

Thanks Jim.
Carol is just going along as camp tender this time. She says she is interested in trying the midrange at Byers next year tho.
