Northern Great Plains Long Range Regional, Sept. 10/11

[Cakes]

Want to mention a quick thank you to all the folks out in Bismarck/Moffit for a well run event as usual. Good to get out west and see you folks again. Lots of shooters and some great scores put up in difficult winds. Congrats to Brian and Drew for winning the Open and FTR division and Tom on the Conventional side. Gusty, switchy winds as expected and had us all scrambling or scratching are heads Must mention couple of new ND LR state records set; Drew Rutherford in FTR; 197-?X and Brian Suhr with a 200-13X. I gotta say thou Brian as you're a super fast shooter, you set it and I tied it a minute later, HA HA! Kudos to you tho doing it with your BRX in that wind. I managed (barely) but had my good old .284. Gotta figure out what happened with the last box of ammo that cost me those points..yikes Good shooting guys and gals!! See ya next year! Eric in DL

Thanks, Eric. A big Congratulations for parallel shooting the "first" ever clean at 1000 yds in Fopen at a ND match. IMHO doesn't matter the Brian shot faster and beat you too it by a few moments, still something about sharing the score that will likely be a long standing record in these parts. 200-13x at 1000 in any condition is an big accomplishment, much less in less than ideal conditions. Sure, it was relatively mild winds for Moffit, but for the record, I had 5 minutes of wind on the relay prior (308/185) and had a 2MOA hold window during my string and the winds were increasing over the day so it wasn't like it was dead calm.
Too bad about your ammo in the last relay, but Brian still had to shoot out of his mind to catch you.....
