A big 1st for me

[1885Winman4590]

Been shooting long range (600 yds) for 13 years now (I'm 72) and got real close to a clean, well have shot 195-198. Saturday, I was at Negaunee rod and gun club for their Upper Peninsula championship 2025.
On the 1st target, at 15x I was so nervous/excited I couldn't hardly chamber the next round. By the time it was over, I was shaking so bad, I couldn't hardly stand. But then it continued. 200-20x, 200-16x, and finally 200-15x.
An old timer at the club told me it was the 1st 200-20x, the 1st 600, and the highest x count ever.
.
I read this forum twice a day, and follow alot of the advice given. I bought most of the equipment I use on this forum. Thank you to all of the folks who have helped( without knowing.
Kodiak action, jewel trigger, Bartlett 7 1/2 twist 30" barrel 6 BRA. Can't remember what stock, but bought it here. Same with Vortex Golden Eagle

Excellent shooting!
But that second photo, at the bench, is a bit confusing as it doesn't match your story.

I posted the wrong pick, that one was the ARA match on Sunday. Didn't do as well at that one though. Some parts came loose the front rest and had a tough time keeping the crosshairs where they needed to be. What's pictured there is my Lonestar

Way to go.

Congratulations and good shooting!

 

[Tangent]

Very good shooting. I find I do my best when I'm not too worried about the result. Hard not to think about that last shot though!

 

[Sandstorm]
