Learned a hard lesson at this match -
Sighting in and checking dope at 7AM (when it is a nice 65 deg outside) means nothing when the majority of the shooting is done at midday 90+ deg weather. That is a 30+ degree swing...
Trajectory tends to be a little different at those temps. Ammo gets warmer, air gets hotter (thinner?) and you overshoot all the longer range targets by about a foot. I think I might need to start carrying different dope cards for different temps...
Such a humbling sport, this is....

At the distances shot at the match, DA is not as much of a factor as you might think. $0.02
Sounds great.
On squading to qualify for "veteran" srm shooter we just need to have shot it before or do we need to be older then mike
I will bring you a Swiss roll buddy if you can get away and shoot with us same for you Ron
Briefly, this is the current thinking on the team match:
A 2-day, 2-person team match for AR15 (.223/5.56 only) and precision rifle...
...a change of gear might be in order...
Briefly, this is the current thinking on the team match:
A 2-day, 2-person team match for AR15 (.223/5.56 only) and precision rifle using the basic SRM format, shoot positions and targets. One team member will be designated to precision rifle and other to AR15 on Saturday. On Sunday roles are reversed. At each position, AR15 shooter will engage targets with unlimited rounds until hits are achieved on up to three targets, then precision rifle shooter may engage all six targets with one round each, all within a five minute time limit. 9 point maximum for each position, 90 points for the day and 180 points for the match. Coaching or calling of shots will only be permitted between team members. All other SRM rules would remain the same.
Set up will be on Friday with the range open 3-5 for practice. Range would also be open for 45 minutes on Saturday and Sunday morning before match starts.
All of this is subject to change.
On a different subject, there are some new rules regarding squadding that will be implemented for 2014 - see the website for details.

Im sure the carbine will be required to meet 3 gun tactical class requirements just like the TB Team Match. We should let Mike/Michael get the rules out first before we are asking them to change them, it's not their first rodeo.
Hey Guys,
My buddy had what I thought was a good idea.
Ya know how probably everyone has components sitting in the cabinet that they will probably never use? Like open boxes of bullets you've tried, powder that you may have moved on from, etc?
He proposed that we try to contact everyone who normally shoots the match and try to organize a Swap Meet.
Everybody bring up all of these components on Saturday, Practice Day, and see if we can swap them between each other or sell them to each other. If anyone has some kind of email list of the guys who normally shoot, or can just let their buddies know, maybe we can start this at the April Match.
Definitely good times, especially as my first time at this match. By far the best time shooting I've had in a long time. Now I have a laundry list of things to change/do differently next time around
See you next month.
Had a great time shooting in the squad with you Andrew. It was Susie's first time seeing what the SRM is all about so it was nice having a great group of guys in the squad. I was actually going to PM you about ballistics later tonight. See you next month.
