Elbow Lake MN State matches 5 & 6 IBS 600 yards

Nice shooting Dave. About time you found the tune in your rifle.
Must have finally found a little time to work on it.
Damn work.

Very little time but I did a little work last weekend.
Pretty easy to shoot one small on your home range when you pick the condition, time etc. Traveling with one and shooting it when it's your turn can be a different proposition.
 
One interesting thing probably only to me but I'll tell it anyway. 2019 was my first full season shooting benchrest and after getting beat up by the DC crew all season in the fall of 2019 I shot my first ever 600 yard match at Elbow Lake. I didn't even know if I was allowed to shoot at the MN state match at the time and not knowing Dean at the time I called and asked if I could , sure he says so away I go. Anyway I was planning to shoot the 600 Nationals at Harris and wanted to get a match in so I wasn't a total idiot when I got to Harris.
First 600 match ever on the Saturday match before the Sunday state match I shot a 1.778" LG agg with a 196 score that included a .865" group @ Elbow Lake winning group, score and overall.

The agg and group were both in the top 10 for the IBS 600 season and the score was in the top 14 for the season with 5 people shooting a match winning 196 according to @BartsBullets in the write up he did at the close of the 2019 season.

So I've been chasing that very first agg for 4 years and finally bested it with the 1.687" at the Saturday state match at Elbow Lake.

Only fitting I guess, great little range that I've met some of my best friends and made some great memories at.
