Yes, that is 3 shots out of 3 (not 3 out of a 10-shot group) fired on a B27 target at 1000 yards...right in front of my face. The black pasters are 1" square.

What did that measure nick...about 0.25" ? Put up a picture of the back of the paper if you can. There were 3 very distinct holes.

Miker.. I give up trying to figure you out.. Just when I think I have, you make me take a 600yd coldbore shot sitting on my ass on a downslope

Thanks for taking the time and energy to put on this match, even for a small group like we had this weekend... Thank You!!

Larry, Jason, Nick and Shane as well as the rest of the crew, It was a pleasure shooting with you. It was alot of fun...

Lance, I hope your doing ok after your little episode this weekend, and it was good seeing you at the range shooting with us on Sunday..

Nick, That was a badass group at 1k, and then smacking the 1/2moa dot for the bonus to back it up, even with all the goofing off going on while shooting....

Also, thanks to Eurooptic and Grand River Tactical for they're generous dontations...

See you guys in the spring, I hear the F---ing Evil match director is up to NO GOOD!!!.. But he didn't share any details.. He just grinned

DAMN! That is some fine shooting! Nick runs a 6.5x47L I believe, which has produced some great groups in benchrest and this group is benchrest-good. Congrats!
 
Re: Reade Range "FALL" Results

Miker! Wow another great time with some really good COF! Thanks, I had a great time! More steel! Did not miss that damn bag one bit…

Dave, great shooting and congrats on the win and running the pits for relay 2.

Nick, it was great chatting with a fellow Michigander. Thanks for the gift table contribution from Grand River Tactical! It will be put to good use! Proudly recommended as a product made in the USA in the great state of Michigan with an owner who not only cares about his products but his customers as well. Looking forward to getting an internet connection that I can actually watch a video spoof of PureMichigan! Nice Group at 1000 yards! Wow!

Eurooptics thanks for the donation as well!

Lance, can’t say that after flying in from San Francisco that a phone call from you at 3am was welcome but I am glad things turned out like they did.

See you guys in the Spring.

I saw the weather that they were having at the Penn St game and was glad we shot last weekend and not this weekend.

Thanks for posting the dates for next year. It'll give me time to practice shooting on my head LOL
