First time with a true BR rifle.

[M-61]

True BR shooting with my first BR rifle was 1975 thanks to great man named Ron Wittiker. He introduced me to Dave Sarser and Ed Ferguson. Then the cash register started ringing and I’ve never had another hobby I’ve enjoyed as much nor stayed with so long. The dollar amount, I have no clue, but the enjoyment amount never stopped either.
I do wish they were still with us.

And so begins the journey down the rabbit hole.

I'm just glad @JEFFPPC never had me behind one of his rifles, or i may be the one with just my ankles sticking out of that hole!!

If you would show up you just might get the chance.Yesterday we had 31 shooters for our 200 yard match. Had a "Hillbilly" from W Va show up. He shot a .306 5 shot group at 200 yds in the wind and cold to win the side group match. Come join us Kenny, kick those cannons you like to the side.

James,
That's a great report. Impressive shooting. You posted that Tim had four (4) 3-shot groups at 100 yards. Is this target all the 3-shot groups shot at 100?

The upper right diamond looks like four shots. You mentioned Tim took four shots at 300, but I'm guessing those four were on a different target.

Was 70 something degrees yesterday with afternoon thunderstorms here near Jacksonville, FL.

Father in law going in for open heart surgery tomorrow.
Wife & i down here for the week.

If i would stay out of the gun shops, i might be able to afford for Jesse to build me a stock.
About all i need to finish my BR build.

Yes, first was in center target, then upper right, lower right and the last one was a "zero" shot with Bart's 68 gr. Avenger BT with 29.5 gr. of N133 and Federal 205M primer.
