1000 yards F-Class - 2 X 200's shot today...back to back..

[falconpilot]

I had the privilage to shooting beside my buddy, Chris Anderson of West Helen, today in Little Rock, Arkansas. We were shooting 1000 yard F-Class. Chris's first string of the day was pretty good, but on a clean barrel giving up a few points. On his second string, he posted a 200/13X, trying the current national record. Then on his very next string, Chris posted another perfect 200/10X. As far as I know, no one has every posted back to back 200's at 1000 yards on the new 1/2MOA targets...The weather was HOT, and the winds light and switchy.....Now for the kicker...Chris is not shooting a 300WSM, 284 Shehane, .284, nor a 6.5x284.....He is shooting a 6Dasher, Bat action, F-class stock, Nightforce scope, pushing Berger 105vld's with Varget powder.. Great shooting Chris!!!

His two target are below...His 200/13X was on a once fired target...

Thanks Jim. A blind squirrel can find a nut or two every now and then. Had a good time shooting with all that were there.

Congrats Chris - great shooting!!

Was this a registered match (not criticizing, just wondering if the 200-13 will be recorded by the NRA)?

Nobody at Bayou has shot back to back cleans. I have shot two and Walter Lange has shot one, and that is it in total.

It is really an amazing accomplishment, B2B in one match!! Wow!

Like your 200/15, it wasn't a registered match...sucks that yours and his are not offically recongized, but it doesn't take away a damn thing from the feats and the fact that they occurred!!

 

[canderson]

Thanks to everyone. I am still a little shell shocked. I am going to try to post a couple of pics of my rifle.
It is a BAT MB with a 30" 1-8 twist Krieger in a McMillan F Class stock. A nightforce 12-42 sits on top.

Nice looking rig, and again GREAT shooting Chris! I agree Jim, we both know what we shot, and have the targets to prove it. ;D

Chris, are you headed to SOA? Just need to know who to watch out for out there...

 

[canderson]

Don't know where or when SOA takes place. I could be up for a road trip.

 

[Kenny474]

Nice looking hardware you got there. And even though the match wasn't registered, you still tied the record and shot back to back perfect scores. You have still accomplished a great feat regardless. Nice shooting, I hope you get one on the books as well. You still deserve to feel as good as if it were registered anyway.

 

[Mark Walker in TX]

SOA = Spirit of America in Raton New Mexico. Kicks off on Sept 12th, and finishes on Sept 18th.

 

[canderson]

That sounds like a blast but I will be harvesting my soybeans in August and September.

 

[arkcomatt]

Congrats! Don't know of a more deserving guy after myself.
Seriously though, great shooting! I wish I had been there to see it. Maybe this will help attract more shooters to Little Rock.

Keep it up!
Matt
