For anybody who hasn't done this shoot. Brad puts on a great competition. The last well was very well run and very enjoyable. I am really looking forward to participating again.
 
Re: SO CAL 1000 YARD FUN SHOOT / MATCH 5-30-2010

Guys, sorry for the request, but does anyone by any chance have a bore scope they can bring with them to the match? I just want to take a look at the throat of my barrel to see whats going on in there.

Thanks
Joe

Like shooting inside a bowl of soup! I didn't dare touched the barrel of my 338. 92 degrees with 10% humidity.
 
Re: SO CAL 1000 YARD FUN SHOOT / MATCH 5-30-2010

I didnt hit mirage at all in the morning that day. I had my scope at max power too (22x) But the winds kicked my ass on my 3rd string. Still good enough for 2nd place in the magnum class though. Cant wait for the next one in August.

I only took 1 pic that day with my phone, my rifle with my home made verticle blind/mirage band. Worked really well!

The wind kicked all of our asses on the 3rd string in the morning. Untill then my score was 50 for the first 2 strings.
