Desert International 2021

[Dennis Armistead]

That would be great. I'm training up more of the staff to cover for me this year and I plan on shooting the Creedmoor as well but I won't be able to shoot the mid range. I can't spare that much time. This year will be interesting as my shooting partner will be having eye surgery around the time of the match. Too bad. I'll be shooting my Hi Wall this time with a new barrel, so we'll see what it can do. I don't know who I'll be squaded with this year so I'll wait and see. I'm glad that Zack was able to spot for me last year.

I just had to much stuff come up to be able to make it for the whole thing. The 1000 yard stuff is highly questionable, so those 3 days would be about it. I've been casting off an on for the season, and did find I still had about 80 rounds for that 77 left from last year, so that will help the organizing. Now the dang weather is looking like it might throw a monkey wrench in things..

No offense, but you can keep the snowhttp://historicshooting.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif
I'm just finishing loading up 300 rounds for the match and Sunday I'll be re checking my 800 yard zero. Should be a good time and I hope the sunny weather cooperates this year.

Well dang Dennis , I was hoping to share some of this -24 temps with you. LOL
If this 1000 yard happens , it'll be slide in sometime on the 4th, and head home as soon as the guns are cleaned up enough to put in the case on the 7th.
Haven't fired a round out of this rifle since the last round fired in the BPTRA nationals, so don''t really expect to be up on the podium. LOL
