I'm leaving in the morning. If my rifle goes bang and my target goes down, I will be having fun. Can't wait!

Good luck Drew!

Good luck Drew!

Thanks Andy. When i get back, remind me to tell you a story about my "luck". Will not be taking any electronics so incommunicado for awhile.

 

[Ned Ludd]

I'll leave 157 messages on your cell while you're gone . Good luck my friend - shoot well!

 

[Rope2horns]

We're hitting the road in about an hour. If they let me and Kevin across the border tomorrow we will be doing good.

 

[XTR]

Hope you have your rain gear. Looks like a wet weekend

I'm having a blast, just not in the "I came, I saw, I conquered" kind of way

 

[dskogman]

Looks like it got a lot tougher in the 2nd and 3rd relays !

Good shooting Wade, keep it up!

It definitely looks like relay position is playing a significant part. Too bad they don't re-squad based on ranking per day, similar to what the crew at the SWN does, but there's always going to be some obstacle to overcome... It probably averages out over the long term anyhow, but it's nice when the leaders are head-to-head.

Totally agree!

It also appears that some people do not like pair firing.

Making a wind call every shot is a little different than run and gun spotter chasing with a fast puller.

what does that mean?

 

[r bose]

what does that mean?

Means their are 2 shooters on the mound at one time shooting in rotation. So when you shoot you're looking at your partners last shot on target, not yours. Makes calling wind, etc., extra demanding. You have to pay attention while they shoot. Also, stops you from shooting fast when taking turns. Can't get em all off when the wind is doing same conditions. Also keeps you "in position" for a longer time than you're accustomed to.

Yeah, it's a different game. One that, unfortunately, we do not play too often here in the US. I've shot one or two matches pair fire (just local mid-range matches) and it's actually pretty fun. I'm looking forward to it, regardless of the outcome.

 

[Mr. Ten-X]

2 or 3 to the mound will tell you who can read conditions, that is for certain.

 

[Laurie]

There are two other significant differences from string shooting:

1) two sighters only, and they are convertible to score shots (but converting #1 and not #2 isn't allowed; converting #2 only is allowed - the last converted shot must run straight into the remainder of the score shots).

2) The 45 second rule. When the target reappears after your partner has shot, you have 45 seconds to mark his/her scorecard then take your shot. In other words, unlike US / Australian practice you cannot choose the time you take to shoot within an overall allowance letting you delay until the conditions return to a previous norm. When that target reappears you have to make a very fast wind call and hope you get it right. Hard work in 'twitchy winds'.
