    Hello everyone. I was working RO on stage C2 but did manage to take some photos of my stage.
    The "Long Range Lounge"...lounge chairs, luxurious shooting tarp....and that's right, you guessed it - doughnuts!!!!

    the lounge in action:

    Shooting position for stage C2

    I love this pic....the target on the screen is the target out at 1150 yards. I had two viewing stations running over the weekend - one by the shooter and one on my scoring table. Next year I'll be coming to the cup with multiple cameras so that we can place a camera on each target. We're working on some other stuff that we'll be releasing later this year....more on that later

    a closeup pic of the target at 1150 at the end of day one. The center punch shot is from Tod Ralston. This was one of the best shots on this target all weekend. I did have about 6 people get both shots onto this target during the weekend. It was windy out there 8-12 most of the day.

    Mile High Shooting brought all kinds of cool stuff to the event. Not only did they sponsor the event and supply everyone with shirts, gear...etc they also had 2 employees shooting the event.

    My scoring table from "the lounge." Farthest target is 1150 out on the rocks. It's hard to see but there are 5 targets out there in a "trail of tears." I have one of our cameras on target 5 at 1150 yards. Through the weekend no one cleaned this stage. Out of 15 points possible the highest score was 13. Dan Tuller, Reid Driscoll, and Bryan Morgan all got 13s. Josh Kunz and Tom Lancaster scored 12s. Nick Stanko, Garrett Hatfield, Jake Vibbert, Dorgan Trostal, Wade Stuteville, Aaron Segura and Dan Davis got 11s. Robert Aiken and Benn Musgrave scored 10s. The top female on this long range stage was Jamie Dowd with an excellent score of 9. This was some awesome long range shooting and I learned a lot by watching and scoring. I left a few out from day one, pm me if you scored a 10-13 on my stage.

    This was a very fun event. With our TargetCam business, I travel all over the country to firearms industry trade shows all the time and this was the funnest and best run event I've been to. Frank and Paul from Trigger Time had everything totally organized. It was a serious competition but not too serious where people were stressed out over details. I was glad to be a part of it.

    aw man, i don't normally miss doughnuts! I must have really been zoned out. Great stage though! thanks a ton for ROing and the prize table donation! I'm heading out to the range to test it now. Hopefully the cows won't lick the lens

    Demo Day. I wish I would have gotten a shot of the new Steiner scopes that Martin had there. I was busy looking at them and didn't even remember to take some pics. Martin designed this scope and it's got some very cutting edge features. Hopefully someone else will post a pic and specs because this thing is going to be very popular around here. He also said they will retail for "around $1800" so they are going to be affordable for a lot of people. Keep an eye out for the new Steiner scopes coming out later this year.

    APO, as always, very impressive. I've stopped by their booth at SHOT each year and have always been impressed not only with their products but the people I've met in their company.

    Fantastic venue and it looks like everyone was exposed to some great gear and knowledgeable people.

    This is about as tactical as it gets in the northeast.



    People often comment on how nice it would be to experience the green forest that fills my photos while I always pine for the wide open spaces and distance you guys out west get to enjoy. I guess the grass can be greener on the other side.

    It was an honor to meet Frank at the match. He is a pretty cool guy and he ran the match VERY well. I am fully impressed, especially given my experience running bicycle races. This match was super smooth. Thank you Frank.

    Zach's incredibly sexy rifle in 6.5 Creed. He is mentally unstable though, as he let me borrow it. Thanks!
