Today was a challenging day for the shooters with the wind but I thought that everybody shot well. I definitely enjoyed the group of guys that we had out shooting today , everybody was polite helpful and safe.
I just want to give a special thanks to Michael H for taking pictures for me today and publishing them on here , I also want to say thank you to John h and Diana h for donating a nice set of hunting knives to the match .

It was nice to get back to the basics with realistic shooting positions and equipment. A good friendly environment helping with wind when we could.Senior had the course ready with nice twist on some of the stages relevant to hunting and not who had the most pillows.
From memory
1. Tikka 308 With a Leupold cds 2. Custom lightweight 6.5 c with a Bushnell scope 3 Tikka 6.5 c with a Leupold hunting scope ( I think)
Others included a R 788 308, CZ mini action 308, An Alamo 6.5 c shorty, 2-3 flavors of Ruger And a couple I don’t remember
Lots of basic guns and happy faces hitting 300-400 yard targets in some stiff wind.
Ready for the next one

The .22 LR surprise stage was a cage rattler. Senior holds up an old CZ trainer with original irons and tells us we have targets at 25, 50, 75 and 100 yards. 12 rounds and two minutes. Start at 25 and can't advance to the next range until you get impact. 1 point per hit, 1 point for each remaining round in the mag, divided by two for a max stage score of 6. Each range had to be shot from a different position and rest of your choice.
An unethical shot is one you take, that you know you shouldn't.

I want to thank all of the guys for being so welcoming. My son and I had a great time and his confidence in his rifle is a lot higher today after the event. Patience especially with someone who does not find things as easy for most of us said a lot about you guys. Thank you!
On the way out I told my son we met a great group of guys today and I was impressed with how friendly everyone was with no exception. He said "Yes, and the only Jackass was the one who would not let me shut the gate!" At least one of you got to witness that one. LOL
Again, thank you to all and especially to Senior for hosting and allowing us to come in late in the process.
James James - you are winning at the dad thing... I smiled when you told me that y'all are making a plan to hunt-fish together every weekend. Keep up the good work, and stay after those skunks!! Had a great time yesterday shooting and putting some faces to names. Thanks again Senior for putting on the event with a smaller than expected turn out. Happy huntin fellas!!

Don't know any of them, but thinking having them with me would likely be to my benefit.

Looks good. If its during the offseason from deer season then I will try to do it.
At some point in life its time to quit chasing the pot of gold and just enjoy the rainbow. FR Keep your gratitude higher than your expectations. RWH
