Well, we had to deal with a last minute change of venue and ended up at RockCastle. I think the rates have changed for the better for now, but I was told we paid the same old rates. As long as you have a member shooting, everybody pays $25 to shoot. I can live with those prices. Ended up being HD1911, Boone3380, a guy whose name I forgot, and myself shooting. Had the place to ourselves and tons of time on target. The RockCastle targets they provide are not that great, and we were glad we brought our own steel. We had enough to go from 200 to 1100 all together. Everybody was on target at the start. I ran into a problem trying to remember if I zeroed at 100 or 200 yards and had to do some remedial shooting at 200 for awhile. Everybody else got out to 700 real fast, and ran into problems with the way the wind falls off the hill into the valley. The last big shoot with everybody had these same problems. When I finally got out to 700 I got lucky and rang out about 5 straight hits. I had been gently kidded about my re-zero, and got to get some payback there. Everybody got onto 800 a lot easier than 700. After 800 my AMAX 168's started going all over the place. John and the others ended up nailing the 900 and 1000 yard targets pretty well. Shot with a great bunch of people. Got to shoot some other guns. Found out my GAP FBI HRT is loud as hell if you are not behind the trigger. The Surefire break punishes the folks next to you. BTW< public apology here, sorry about the couple of times I didn't hear the Hold Fire comment, and fired when folks had hearing protection out. I blame being focused on target when they said it. It wont happen again since I got my bell rung when somebody fired my gun next to me when I had my hearing protection off
It was a great time, look forward to shooting again real soon with everybody, and we invite anybody out that wants to join us in the future.
