Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - July 2011
Alright guys, the
match website has been updated and the
results and stats are up.
I'm working on my own AAR (from an RO's perspective) which I'll post up eventually. But I wanted to give a few nods (in no particular order...)
<span style="font-weight: bold">Squad 2</span> - you guys were awesome. Marcus and I really appreciated how easy you guys were to work with. Thank you for pitching in, helping out and making the match fun for us as well.
<span style="font-weight: bold">Jeff and Damon</span> - For those of you not on squad 2, these two shot a great match. But on the last day on stage 2 they had their primary go down while shooting the first array of primary targets. (Stuck case). So they moved to the secondary targets, cleaned those, then came back to the primary position and engaged the remaining primary targets with their secondary rifle. Only had dope for the primary rifle so Jeff had to do some on-the-fly math. But they managed to pick up two more hits! Overall a very impressive display of shooting and team work. Congrats guys.
<span style="font-weight: bold">David and Jim</span> - You guys shot a great match. Great communication, you never seemed to get rattled and it showed.
<span style="font-weight: bold">Ryan and Tom</span> - I didn't get to see you guys shoot but you obviously did a fantastic job. Congratulations on the win.
<span style="font-weight: bold">The Sponsors</span> - As always, we couldn't do matches like these without the support of our sponsors. Seriously, it takes a lot of effort and money to pull one of these off. So a huge thank you goes out to:

<span style="font-weight: bold">John Paul and Kurt from JP Rifles </span> and <span style="font-weight: bold">Ryan from Big Dog Steel</span> were in my squad so I got to spend a lot of time with them especially. John Paul, thank you for the gift certificates for the ROs. It was the kick the in the butt I needed to get one of your rifles. And Ryan thanks for the side match targets and competitor prizes.
<span style="font-weight: bold">Rockcastle Shooting Center</span> - We on the east coast are very lucky to have a facility like Rockcastle to hold these competitions. The combination of fantastic terrain, the lodge and the staff makes this place a big win for the shooting sports. Nick, Nate, Amy, Zach and the rest of the staff, thank you for your support. And thank you to the restaurant staff for keeping us stuffed with great food as well.
That's it for now. Keep shooting.
