Good for you partner!! Don't sweat it, everyone has their first match. Good luck and have a good time! You will probably get hooked and spend all your money on equipment for next few years ,lol. Put dust covers on your golf clubs and fishing gear so you recognize them later.

How did you do?

 

[OIF/OEF]

I blew it, literally. I shot a 6BR, I ran out of CCI br primers and all I had was CCI 400's. I was using 30.3 grains of Varget and Berger 108 VLD's. I tested the ammo yesterday everything went well "with BR primers". Today from the very first shot I was popping holes in the CCI 400 primers....every single shot. The ammo shot well first string of ten shots were in the X, 10 and one 9. I quit shooting for safety reasons. I was shooting a Savage, I adjusted firing pin protrusion and still popping holes. I'm gonna pull them down and double check everything, I have a handful of BR primers so I'm gonna put everything back the same as today but with the BR primers to see if it happens. Other than that it was a great time. Great bunch of guys. Darrel running the match loaned me a mat, Steve loaned me a front rest and rear back and everyone walked me through the scoring......As crazy as it sounds I am glad it happened the way it did. I learned do not throw a hell marry before a match without testing and more testing and what gear I need to purchase or borrow. These guys out there could flat out shoot and had some really nice gear.....Thanks to everyone and I have to say yes the golf clubs and fishing poles will be gathering dust I AM HOOKED

Were there any Match Rifle shooters? I was looking at the past results this week and it seemed like all F-Class guys.

You shot well yourself Russell, looks like you got your load working well!

 

[Immike]

Nothing better than a good match with friends. I miss the days when there was just a few of us dedicated at our club. You guys are shooting some good scores ! Keep up the good work and your match will grow!

 

[OIF/OEF]

I was pulling the target for Mr. Fuller.....some very impressive shooting. Good bunch of guys, very professional and a wealth of knowledge.

If I could invent a patch like the ones for smoking, I'd be a gazillionaire... Glad you had a reagood time Shannon, and I new other shooters would be glad to help you out. The shooting community wherever we may live is normally like this.

There were 17 shooters at this match. Last 2 matches had closer to 30 participants. Dean just posted the top scores.

We are very luck to have very nice, well attended matches in Tulsa and OKC. They are on different weekends which allows one to attend both.

I'm 2 hours from Tulsa, 3 hours from OKC, and 3 hours from Camp Robinson. I can hit Memphis in 5 hours. Shooting opportunities are abundant from my location. My wife might say too abundant.

I was shooting my good bullets Jade. Had Russell let me rub my Juggs on his purple swamp donkey pelt, I might have shot a clean or two. He's a little over protective of that thing for some reason.

Please excuse my reporting abilities or lack there of, would probably be a better term for it. Between the not so great picture I took with my phone and Darrell's penmanship, some of the names and scores were a little hard to make out. I'll do better next time.

The 3rd Saturday match at OKC Gun Club is a great place to get your feet wet. I shot my first match there in 2010 and I haven't looked back. Come on out, we'll get you started on the right foot.

I was going to come up from Dallas. Unfortunately we had too many challenges in the office with late night work with Japan. I'll keep an eye on the clubs schedule. I'd like to shoot there.

Can't say i blame Dos XX for not letting you rub your "juggs" on the swamp donkey fur!...... ;D

I'd like to make it up one day to shoot with you boys but damn thats a long drive for me......Keep on keeping on up there, sounds like y'all have a good match going with some good guys attending!
