East Texas Clay Matches

[X-Caveman]

Make it a double header weekend! Saturday, VFS at NTSA. Sunday, come on out to Small Groups to bust some clays.

Do as I say, not as I do, as I can't make either.

I haven't been there in years, but have been told that the new owner has really fixed the place up.

Tim certainly keeps it nice and is a helluva nice guy to boot. Come join us.

Hoping Saturday will bring out more folks than the traditional Sunday.

Any bipod users at the match?

It’s been won with a FTR set-up shooting .223 off the bench. I’ll probably shoot a 6.5x47 chassis rifle off a folding bipod this coming match.

Most folks shoot full on benchrest rigs. They still have to know where to aim them, tho! This is score shooting without sighters & it’s rare that you can see a miss.

That guy with the 223 just got lucky... 223 off a bipod? Come on man!

I dare say they’re usually done before noon. They’re efficient changing target boards. So much so, if only one relay, some barrels get pretty toasty.
