3 Martini Lunch @ 1,400

[Mo_Zam_Beek]

I had just enough time to get to my spot and shoot 20 rounds and eat lunch today. In between spotting rounds for myself, fielding 3 phone calls, and cooking a gourmet meal I managed to make a few hits at 1,400. Pretty nice lunch break.

Yeah - the white speck (MGM Precision Target) to the left of the tree in part of the draw.

I caught a wind read off a cloud moving past at eye level that was the exact opposite of what I needed. The wind was blowing up the draw I was shooting across. The correct hold was actually .8 - 1.8 MILs the same direction the wind was blowing - yeah. You can see in the next pic which is about 2/3 of the distance and looking back at the shooting position all of the draws that the air mass moves over as well. Obviously it comes up the final draw and boils back pretty hard. This is only the second time I have shot in this spot so I am still trying to figure it out. Spotting for yourself when it is wet and dirt doesn't kick up is a pain.

My 4 course meal:

I want to call it 9 hits but I don't really know that the one at the bottom of the COM door is legit. So 8/20 is what I calling it for the day.

Good luck

Where are you at? I am in Oregon and always looking to shoot. I will be hoping to get some done here soon there are a few matches coming up and need to throw some lead.

That is just S and W of Rogue River OR - @ 172 miles from Brownsville.


HINT - use your county's GIS system to find public land that is close to you, then use Google Earth to view and pull co-ords. Punch them into your GPS and confirm by scouting.


Having cell reception is so clutch for work too.

Good luck

Hopefully you had a closer target for the AK.

When you're generally by yourself in the middle of nowhere, its nice to have friend along even if they never speak.

Good luck

I just asked where to see if I recognized the place. I was pretty close. I thaught south coast. I do some bear hunting down there. I have places to shoot also that are closer just putting it out there if you wanted someone to spot your hits I am always willing to go. We have quite a few guys that come and go around here so usually no shortage of shooting buddies.

Yeah I don't know about down there, but out in the Mcguire reservoir area in the boonies I have seen some real weirdos. Not to mention the occasional Brown bear.
