Yup. Just got done with the hunting rifle match and I'm thinking about a long range match.
Come with your big boy pants on. Know your stuff from 7 yards to 800 yards. Unsupported, barricades, rooftop, accuracy and speed will be needed. The time limits shorter, and the targets farther away. I won't get as many shooters, so the entry fee would probably be more. I gotta do what I gotta do to keep the range running.
So who's down?

I could see like an intro into matches type run, but not as intense... I wanted to do that last one but life got in the way

Well then that would mean I'd have to set it up all by myself, so no, you may only R.O. Just kidding.

LOL! That's funny. That morning, you COULD see trace perfect. I see it sometimes, but Sat morning I could see the shine off the bullet and the vapor trail as it went down range and into the target. It was one of the few times I've seen it that clear.

Chad, I was spotting for Daniel and his dad yesterday and was seeing trace. When we broke for lunch I texted Judd "BEAUTIFUL TRACE!" Chad is the best RO in the history of ROs.

just a few .223, they were old. I wasn't planning on keeping them.
this being said, next match we should all pick up our brass for Jason's sake.

I don't know if it was picked up later but I saw some Lapua laying on the ground at one point.
