Re: East Tx Target Shoot Weekend
Im beat. Got home yesterday afternoon and Im wiped out. Good thing I have today to be a bum before going back to work tomorrow. I had a great time. Glad to meet some new people and see others from last time. The steel was a challenge for most out almost 900 yards. Couple of stages were hard enough that nobody got scores for them. I think a couple of stages took shooters by surprise with the difficulty. Especially when they found outthere wasnt enough room to shoot right handed thru a hole and they had never had to shoot left handed. Little bit of stress really throws off the shot. Shooting at a 1 inch dot at 100 yards and missing by a foot? Did you forget to reset your scope or were you just huffing and puffing? Good job all day. Thanks to the RO's and all the help from everyone. Thanks for the use of the portable shade. That was a life saver in the heat. CKA's shooting trailer was a big hit. Made a very good platform to shoot from. We made it a whole stage with pistol shots, short and long range rifle and positional. We had about 600 yard shot from it as well as the tannerite shoot from the trailer. We had some running in a timed stage that made blklabs look like Usain Bolt running thru the pasture to the deer stand. Great motivation to complete the stage Jonathan. New guys to the shooting world learned a lot I think. We were only able to get about 6 stages completed before dark but we all had a blast. Overall winner of the day was Justin Hicks. He was able to score on all of the steel targets in the 1st stage so that put him out in the lead. He was the only shooter to hit steel at the 900 yard area. The second stage was a 588yard shot at paper zombies with a 6 inch scoring ring. No hits on the scoring ring on that stage. Stage 3 was hard with a short 90 seconds to fire 4 rifle and 5 pistol shots behind walls with different positional shots. Stage 4 was a mix of pistol and rifle from 125 yards to 500 yards. Stage 5 was the running challenge having to make 7 shooting positions in a 4 minute time limit. We only had 3 or 4 people complete the stage. Justin Hicks (Dallas 12) was fastest with 2 seconds to spare. Stage 6 was the shooting trailer brought by CKA. End of the day we had some good BBQ and raffled off the prizes. I appreciate everyones safety and sportsmanship during the weekend. A lot of sweat and time went into setting up and taking down this event and I hope we get to do it again sometime in the future. Im ready for someone else to have a shoot, my rifle is tired of watching. I am putting pics on photo bucket today and hope to have some up here soon. Anyone that took pics, please email them to me as you have time. Again, thanks for all the help and all the support with your donations,
