Congratulations to don

[Don McDowell]

Well thanks. I don't look at the winning part before or after a match, first and foremost I go because I enjoy it, and secondly every time you get into one of those matches you learn something. It's especially interesting seeing the different conditions each range can throw at you with in a matter of minutes. I highly recommend folks to get into this bptr stuff, it's a great way to really learn your gun and loads.

Anyway I generally shoot an open apperature in the front globe, I prefer them smaller than some advocate, but each shooter has to determine what works best for his eye. This match I shot the aperature in the cross hairs, and it didn't show up particularly well when the weather started moving in.

I'ld like to see the yardage breakdowns, as I think I shot about as good of a position 200 yd offhand as anybody. From there on out is where I got into trouble, and that 600 yd target was just brutal. But live and learn, put your big boy britches on and go to the next match.
