    Cool, thanks guys. It is nice to be able to stretch the legs and get some long shots! As I shoot the different shooting competitions I'm trying to get a feel for the flavors. Just wanted see if that was representative of what the matches were like. Me likey having some support, it takes me a few cups of coffee to get up and drive down from Denver. I know what you mean about higher power scopes, I even got sucked into ACOG a bit. It really helped putting some tape on the ACOGs to tame down the reticle. Maybe I get get some rounds down range during the precision class to get a better long range feel with the ACOG.

    One thing is definately clear as I shoot more of these comps, the gear you use takes a big backseat to your skill level. It would be fun to shoot the competition with a Garand sometime.

    Thanks again!
    I'll stop buying black rifles when my wife stops buying black shoes.

    Amen.

    It kicked my a$$ but I enjoyed it. Next time I bring my normal rifle and don't worry about adding or changing things for the match. I also bring the cheap ammo as I used way more than I should have.

    Regardless, I had a good time and tried some things I have not done before. Next score will be better!

    I shoot a 16 inch carbine with a EoTech and have a blast, bullets fly, I get hits, but I also learn my limits versus the limits of my equipment. This is what a rifle was designed for.

    I had a great time when I came out last time, shot a scope for the first time. Learned what I did not know.

    This month I and coming with my normal A2 to see if I can do better than I did with the optics. Should be fun!

    See you all on Sunday.
