Funds are in... ready to rock and roll the smart-alic little Smiley dudes. Gonna be a good time, "IF" we can actually get around to shooting it this time.

DK
 
I'll be ordering a few targets to try this out. I've been meaning to since it seems like fun, a fair chance at some nice prizes and supports a good cause, but I never got the chance to until now.
 
Well, after a tragic family loss, I had to take some time out on this match, but things have just finally started to settle down and I need something to take my mind off of it all. Funds sent, cant wait to dust off the safe queen and knock some holes in paper! Hopefully the parts with smileys :). I have to admit, feeling a bit rusty....Gotta get some practice in this weekend. A special thanks to Jason for keeping this all going for so long and giving us all a chance to support a great cause while doing what we all love!
 
Oops, just realized I forgot to mention I need CF targets when I sent the $.
 
Sorry to hear about your loss. We too have gone through this situation. Hang in there and be strong. Take care and God Bless you and yours.

DK
 
I still have not received my targets. I shot off an email to the one listed for Paypal payments but no response their yet.
 
PayPal sent on 29 July...barely made it! Looking forward to shooting them! Should be a lot of fun.

Josh
 
I got my targets. It turned out to be my fault. I had updated my address in paypal but forgot to set it to the primary so they got sent to an old address.
 
Sad days it seems. Nobody out of our group did worth a flip. Windy as all get out, hot as all get out, kids were bored this time around. All very frustrating.

DK
 
I shotgunned the CF target and improved some on the RF. Finally figured out that my shots kept moving due to cheek weld being inconsistent. Added a stock pack and problem went away. Would never have worried over it had I not participated in these matches. They make me shoot and stay familiar with my rifles, I love it.
 
I am almost certain that I secured last place in the CF using a home built rifle I am working on... They did all hit the paper though ;)
 
Probably not what you are thinking... It’s a Remington action and an AAC prefit barrel, If you have the tools its plug and play. I am using the 308 1-8 twist 18” barrel and still looking for a good load, but I am quickly coming to the belief that one most certainly can over stabilize a bullet...
 
Can't wait for results. Great fun and excellent practice. Good luck all on the raffle.
 
This darn match is seriously hard on the wallet... Made me spend alot of money building up a rimfire to compete with.

But I love shooting this, makes me work on fundamentals much much more! I know I bombed both groups this go around, still anxious to see how I placed!

Ben
 
This match made me realize how much work I need for consistency. Even that blasted rimfire at 50 yards is very difficult.

Looking forward to the results. I think I cleaned up on the centerfire this time. Although I did darn good last timewith the centerfire.

Thanks for all the hard work you put in Jason, and a huge thank you to all the sponsors.
 
Results!
