We weren't sub-1500's, we ended up third, but I was running a KMW 260 with a 10X SS and 130 Bergers. My partner was shooting a 16" Larue AR15 with an ACOG and Black Hills 75's. </div></div>
I've shot with your partner before (his name escapes me right now) we were in the same squad at Ft. Benning 3 Gun 2010. He can shoot low power optics at range VERY well. I watched him him clean the long range stage (425yd max target) in some tough wind conditions with an Eotach monopodding off the mag in pretty short order at Benning. Lots of guys shooting variable power scopes struggled with that stage (I did). It would be scary to see what he can do with a higher powered scope in the future!
Awesome match! It was definitely a challenge with the diverse shooting positions and slightly reduced target size from the previous matches. The addition of the hostage targets was also a great addition! Really can't say enough good things about the match, participants, prize table or the luncheon. Enjoyed meeting several Hide members, hope you had a great time and plan on returning.
Special thanks to Damon and his setup crew for putting on the match and luncheon. GREAT JOB and very much appreciated!
Also special thanks to all of the sponsors who made the prize table possible:
Daniel Defense
Trace Armory Group
Wilson Combat
BHE Engineering
Stillwood Ammunition
Tactical Suppressed Weapons
B&B Enterprises
Southern Thunder
Apologies to Ryan of Southern Thunder for costing him a new rifle. After shooting my DPMS LR-308 his wife decided she had to have one of her own.
Looking forward to the matches in the Fall. If you are within 6-8 hours of Raleigh STRONGLY consider shooting future matches. It's a great time and well worth the travel!
