Thanks Don.

[Don McDowell]

Hopefully Michael gives us the final scores. I'ld like to hear the run down on the conditions. Looks to me like at least one of the 1000 yd relays, got into some real crap.
2 of the 3 paper patched shooters are surely holding their own.

while there is always a winner in long range, there is never a loser.
long range is tough and unforgiving.
everything must be right to get good scores and then a bit of luck always helps.
very few of us get the opportunity to shoot enough long range to truly master it, and it is a discipline that requires a lot of experience to excel.
there is little room for ego in this sport.
when you have 30 on for weather and the wind goes across centre some big decisions have to be made, and 6 wrong on the wind arm can put you off the target.
perhaps there are losers. those who do not come back because the challenge is too great.
keep safe,
bruce.

Well said Bruce.
This Creedmoor Cup game is especially tough as it's just you and your rifle, no spotters and no coaching..

and you have to make your decision pretty quickly and act on it.
keep safe,
bruce.

I wonder if Jack is shooting his .44-100?

[Don McDowell]

Don't know what he was shooting. He's been back and forth between it and a couple of 45-90's.
