Well I'm going to have to tell my wife. She thought it might not be happening this year. I imagine you will be going?

[Don McDowell]

Yes, I am planning on it. Hope you can make it. It does sound as tho it might be all prone and no position. But details not final, only the date is final.

I wonder if that'll affect the turnout. I only shoot prone, but I remember that a good percentage preferred position. The guy I shot with, Jim, shot position. He was a heck of a funny guy and definitely taught me a few things about spotting.

I think Nick said there were only 3 that shot position last year. I would of shot position , as that's my favored way, but I wanted to shoot the scope , now I got that out of my system.... I do hope we can have a position class.
I think promoting the thing will help a bunch. But then we get the same amount of shooters here as they do in the middle of a state with 8 million people, so I guess all things considered we do alright.

That is a very good point Don. :-) I've only once shot scope in competition and it was funny. It was with my .40-65 which is a super accurate rifle.

I showed up confident that I was going to clean all of the laydown targets. I did not do well at all :-). A friend of mine told me the same thing. He was convinced he'd be able to clean the targets too :-)

Scopes are tricky beasts. You've got parallax to deal with, and then being able to read the adjustments well. I just can't get my face in the right place to read windage on the scale. I have hopes for my DZ Arms scope mounts though.

I do really like, in silhouette, being able to see your hits on the animals through the scope as they go down. If you didn't miss, you could nearly spot for yourself :-).

Don, I am going to book the KOA camp sites today. Do you have any idea if Nick will have a sight in on Friday?

Chris, I should be able to answer that after this weekend's match in Ten Sleep. Nick asked me to help with the match since he'll be out of town on Saturday. We still need a member or two to help with the match and hopefully shoot in it. I'm hoping one of them can open the range for a practice session Friday afternoon.

Current plan is to run this as an "any position" match which usually means prone but is up to the shooters. We will have 3 trophys/plaques for overall 1, 2, and 3rd place. Other awards will be issued as needed. The more participants, the more awards.

Thanks Bryan. I just got an email from Nick. I guess I should ask you rather than him for a match invitation it sounds like. I need one of those to get across the border :-).

I won't really need a practice session on Friday, but it wouldn't hurt as I might be bringing a second rifle. I assume it's OK to shoot with a different rifle on day 2?

Chris.

Chris, unless you break a rifle or have some other complete failure, you need to shoot the match with the rifle you start with.
