Re: 2012 Bushnell and Rifles Only Brawl
Thanks to Jacob, Lisa, Lindy, and all the RO's who made this match enjoyable.
The sponsor table was once again spectacular. Bushnell stepped up in a big way, putting not only a huge pile of prizes on the table, but sponsoring the Helicopter event as well. I will jump at any excuse to fly! Thanks to all the other sponsors, both big industry and small home shops, who took money out of their pockets in this economy to donate to the shooters.
The course of fire was challenging as always. The targets just keep getting smaller! The new dual mover gave Jacob's devious mind plenty to play with. Alternating shots on a pair of moving 1 MOA targets at 500 yards is more fun than I should be allowed to have. It was a significant step up in difficulty from the old mover stages. The rat trap and field mouse trap offered plenty of challenging positions, on both paper and steel. The Helicopter/clearing the trench stage was enjoyable as well. Combine all this with a fine group of competitors and this was a match not to have missed.
Congrats to all those who shot. I think everyone will have walked away a better shooter. The top 3, well, you guys continue to shine match after match. Hats off to you.
The weather was a bit warm in south TX in April, but no one made me work, and I appreciate that!
