A BIG thank you to Tim, Scott, and all the others who put this thing on!
I have to admit, my not coming in last was a big shock, haha! I guess I'd say I'm "satisfied" with my score this time around, for it being my first time out using an AR with my little SS 3-9x42FFP that I had only sighted in last week! And holy crap, those little poppers/simmey (spelling?) targets were TINY! So my score wasn't great, but not terrible either. In all, I need to fine tune my come-ups a bit (I seemed to be low by .1-.2mil which caused a few misses), reading wind (seems everybody thinks they need work here), and proper form, not to mention position shooting! So a LOT to work on, but that's half the fun, no?
I'm thinking this will be a bi-monthly thing for me, depending on my ability to attend ACTS matches in Tucson. However, gas funds/my ability to carpool down that far will be taken into account, so I may be shooting LRPRS more often but we'll see.
Either way, I had a blast and plan to get a good bit more involved! Now somebody post those scores up so I can remember where I placed, and congrats to those who took top honors!
Lastly, a big thanks to Steve for the informative discussion in the pits. I'll have to drop you a PM to get the names of those sites and such again.</div></div> Not to hijack this thread, but if you have a shotgun there is a 3gun match ran at Phoenix Rod and Gun the fourth Sunday of each month, it will save you gas and time.

I do have a shotgun, and 3-gun would be a blast. But it's on a Sunday. Shooting a match on a Sunday is a no-go unless it's a once in a life time sort of deal. If there's ever one on Saturday that I can make, though, I'll do whatever I can to be there!

That jackass is always running his mouth about something or the other....
Glad you had a good time, remind me of what I was telling you about and I'll be happy to share any info I have.
