German Salazar said:Well, it's official, I'm an F'er! Shot my Palma rifle in F-TR with a Leupold 24 left over from Smallbore. 198-9, 198-6, 198-7 shooting Sierra 180's with IMR 4064, about 2650 fps. The 594-22 was high in F-TR and a few points ahead of the F-Open winner, so not too bad for a first effort.
The arm is OK, I took a pain pill and iced it down as soon as we were done. During the match I used a Smallbore kneeling roll under my chest for support so that the arm wouldn't have to carry the weight. Best of all, a good friend volunteered to pull targets for me so I was able to rest a bit between strings.
Being with friends again and seeing their concern and their willingness to help me out (loading and unloading the truck, pulling targets, etc.) made this the best day I've had in a long time. I'm a little sore right now, but feeling much better than before. Thanks to all!
Yes, apparently German can lick all us F'ers with just one arm. But, the upside is maybe I'll learn how to read the wind a little better by scoring for himTonyR said:German Salazar said:Well, it's official, I'm an F'er!
