URSA July 2017 Event Recap

[URSA Facilitator]

16 Jul 2017 - Recap of the SoCal Jul ‘17 shoot (by Facilitator)

Temp was terrible - especially for those that decided to come out the afternoon before - and wind was atypical (significant and almost constant)...but the shooters prevailed with three qualifying at 2080 yards. Nevada shooters were well represented and took the Winner’s slot - Kurt S. shooting his semi-antique Amac, shell-holder-style, .50 cal rifle with 36” Rock barrel and Nighforce optics. He was shooting 750 gr A-Maxs. NorCal also came to visit and Hoffer came in as Runner-Up - in Sudden Death, when Bill W. ran out of ammo. Hoffer was shooting his little gun (Short Action Custom-built.338 LM Imp with 7-35 ATACR) and 300 Berger hybrids. Hoffer qualified very impressively, hitting 5 in a row to garner his third achievement target. Bill W.(another Nevada import) was also shooting well, garnering his first achievement target. Gallery updated, as well as the Stats page. [Thanks to Bill W. - I copped two of the pics he posted on CalGuns.

URSA NorCal is dark until October in deference to multiple deer seasons.

Got there a little after 7PM and it was 112 degrees. Mark from Desert Marksman Club got there at 3 and swears it was pushing 120 degrees. Cooled down to a nice 90 degree at 4:30 am when we put up the targets.
Great turnout with 7 shooters. Wind did not seem too bad, but definitely took the hit count down for all the shooters.
Always a good time with a great bunch of guys.
Thanks to the Facilitator for putting these on!
