Does anyone have the final results for team and individuals for the 2023 match held in WY?
There are results on the winners but no complete results.
Thanks

Great turn out, Really fun match

 

[wboggs]

Thanks, that is some list. The match is a true test of elr shooting and not just talking and putting a few selected shots on the net.

Really a lot of Fun. In between 2 wind farms so there's that. Met FeMan, a member here at my Hotel. Super nice guy.
Highly recommend it and Well run.

What was the cartridge lineup? thinking 300 NM./35 imp , 33XC .for the top 10. maybe a couple of 375 cheytacs

 

[moondog]

No Cheytacs in the top 50.
300NM for sure, 1st and 3rd shooting 215s. Quite a few 7s of different designs, especially in light gun.
I wish they WOULD list caliber next to shooter. Seems like an easy add on.
I shot a 300PRC. 30 calibers were dominant in my squad, the squad ahead and behind me. Small sample of like 45 shooters though.

 

[Wildcats]

I figured the 300NM would at the top of the game.
I would think that the 300PRC would do well with the Berger 208s - 215s as well,maybe even the Lapua 220 Scenar-L

 

[wboggs]

A friend of mine finished in the top ten using a 300PRC, 230 Atips, and H1000.

I shot my 284 Win with 184s and didn't feel handicapped in the least. If I were to step up, it would be the 300 NM with 245s or 250s. The 184 has about the same BC as the 215 hybrids and the 284 is a lot more manageable.

How did you do? Any problem spotting shots

 

[moondog]

I believe FeMan finished top 10!

 

[FeMan]

I finished 11th this last year. There were only a few instances where I couldn't spot misses due to a combination of terrain/cover, lighting and the rain we had wiping out the dust and impact signature. The offsetting benefit is I could watch my trace. A 24 lb 284 with 30-inch barrel and excellent brake has very little recoil pulse.

The year before last, I finished 8th and shot the second half of the match with my 6.5CM after I lost the zero on my 284 scope. That hurt me some as I was in 4th place after day 1 but I was surprised at how well the 6.5CM held in there.

We chamber a lot of Barret Normas and I have been considering doing one. If I do I will shoot the 245s or 250s. I still don't think my hit percentage will change all that much.

And Moon Dog did pretty well himself!

My congradulations on your fine shooting. That course of events is impossible for all but the very best.

My buddy finished in the top 5 shooting a 25 cal.

Indian, not arrow, holds true.
