I was there yeasterday around noon , it was clean at that time. I did shoot my chronograph but took it home anyway.

Must have happened after you left. I was there pretty early this morning. Guess it'll happen every so often.

I suppose the best we can do is clean it up when we see it.

Hope you had a good shooting day.

I'm going to be out at the south site tomorrow morning around 9 sighting in my EOtech. I'd love to meet some other club members if anyone is up for it! Hopefully the weather holds up this time!

Sorry I'll miss ya, MM. Kids' soccer will eat up my day tomorrow. Maybe I'll run into you sometime. I need to finish breaking in a Sig Mosquito.

My brother has a Mosquito, and that thing is pretty fun to shoot! It's a pretty good plinker and the grip fits my hand really well.

The forcast looks decent for tomorrow and I'm leaving really early, so hopefully I can beat the weather!

Looks like you had a nice day. Let us know how it went.

I'm liking the Sig Mosquito too. It fits my hand well and points naturally for me too. Even though its not technically borken in yet, it still runs nicely overall. My son shoots it well, too.

Range report is coming tomorrow after I do some P-dog hunting with another Colorado AR-15 owner in SE Colorado. I'll be sure to have some pics!

Well, I went to the South Shooting site on Saturday as promised and saw quite a few others come and go. I was there in the red jeep from 9am to about 2pm. Overall, I put 280rds through the new AR15, all 110gr Sierra ProHunters from Silver State Armory (http://www.ssarmory.com/6.8_spc_ammo-2-1-1-1-1.aspx).
Here's an action shot, trying to make the scope work... the mount was just about 1mm too low: (sorry if the quality kind of sucks... I had to clip this from a video clip... it wasn't actually dark outside)



Here's my shiny new AR-15: http://www.flickr.com/photos/70616996@N00/3921068640/


I have a pretty high-power scope, but my mount isn't high enough, so I couldn't get it mounted properly. So Instead I had to use my Bushnell HOLOsight (made by L3 Technologies... the parent company of EOtech optics).

Temp was about 65, less than 5 kts breeze, low humidity.

A lot of my groups were crappy because my target was blowing a little with the breeze to start out, but then I found more staples for my staple gun and tacked it down tight. I was firing 3 shot groups to conserve ammo and here's my best one:



I shot the upper-right group first, (third shot completely missed the paper and hit the wooden post) but then I adjusted my HOLOsight a little and that's when I got my best group. The grid on the target is a 1 inch grid, so that group in the center is about a 1.1" group. Pretty darn good for no magnification I think! (Not sure how much luck played into it, but I know i'm not THAT good of a shooter...)

Shot some prairie dogs today in SE Colorado with a fellow 6.8x43mm AR-15 owner. No pictures because I left my camera next to my computer...

Overall, this was a pretty great weekend! I put about 330rds through my AR and it performed absolutely beautifully. If anyone is interested in a 6.8 AR, let me send you in the right direction: http://www.AR15Performance.com
