I shot my first match yesterday with hide member Downsouth at Palo Alto in Louisiana yesterday. I ususually run 44.5 varget from 2.236" ogive w/ a 175 smk I found 2000mr and from a 22" on a gap crusader, I'm getting 2765-2770 with accuracy and no op with 48.0. But anyways. It was a great time. Downsouth came in 2nd (dude is a ringer) and I shot ok I guess for my first match. First relay I shot a 188. 2nd and 3rd I shot a 186. Had 15x hits. The wind was tough 10-15 mph shifting literally all the time from 9 o'clock then would blow from 12 then 2 o'clock. So my overall score was 560 out of 600. Not great but I was happy. Overall I want to thank Downsouth and all the GREAT guys at Palo Alto for helping me on the scoring system ect..... They truly are great guys. If you get the chance GO and shoot. There is no pressure put on you and is totally laid back. Guys there will help you out and I know I learned a heck of ALOT.
