    Sad part was that was the original windshield and didn?t have any cracks or chips.

    I priced one today and that sucker is $350.

    For comparison, a windshield for my truck is $180.

    I need to check my insurance coverage and see how or if they cover glass.

    Tell about the match. Stages? Distances? Challenges? Best lesson?

    Our vehicles get pitted enough to need new windshield glass every 2-2.5 years. With comprehensive Safeco pays 100%, most others pay all but a $50 or $100 deductible. I don't carry comp on my old Toyota plow truck but the windshield only cost $150, worth every penny.

    Correction, that may have been the 2nd stage.

    They are charging you more for your policy though, one way or another. If it's still cheaper than other policies, then probably not a big deal.

    Looks like it got hit by a yellow parking lot pole.

    The majority of the targets were 1moa, e.g. 6" diamonds which makes it fun & definitely a challenge. Never had a cof where everything was so bitty.

    I did pretty well my first time out to this flavor of match. Really enjoyed the course. Seemed pretty special to me & I wonder just how many places there are like it. Not many I imagine, but I wouldn't know. Makes all the difference when your data is gtg, which mine was golden after my class the previous weekend with Colorado Precision Rifle @ BSR. Brian Whalen really helped me put the bits of info I had together & build up more from there... anyhoo... its Virginia count on the clock so your best guess is the only one you get. Trigger time & good data records are next. Im @ 430 rds on my first bolt gun so Im pretty dang pleased I could shoot 36 points when the match was won with 51 points with only 60 possible. I can do better. Its really hard & it also kind of wasn't -- might be my thing & ill just have to see how it goes.

    Nice, glad you had fun. Sounds like you're roped into long range for sure now.
