I'm planning on stopping there in late March to try out my new 284 at 1000 yards. Looks like you have a great venue there.

So how did things go this weekend?

How was weather, turn-out, scores?

Thanks.

The wind got every one, there were not any good scores shot, even for my .223, the best I pull out was a 191-6X and I was excited with that.

Sunday was better, pulled out a 197-4X, 198-8X and a 195-6X.

I am in Ga for the Stars & Bars Regional match this weekend.

I haven't seen the scores yet. Wind on Saturday was pretty evil. From the SE (left) anwhere from 4 to 12, and switchy, there were times it came straight down the range. I heard more than a few people complaining of vertical issues.

If you look at the topo on google maps you'll see that the E to SE brings the wind over the hills so you get some odd currents. From the right it blows down the valley so it may be a bit more predictable. (Hey, it's my theory anyway)


Sunday was a 600 yard match, very light winds most of the day, almost nothing in the first relay but enough to keep anyone in F-class from cleaning it as far as I know. Later it picked up enough to what I think was 2 to 3 and again switchy. On one of my relays there were at least three of us that had just gotten a few sighters on target and it switched from left to right. You could tell because everyone sat up and waited.

I didn't realize that the matches were 20 shots till the last minute, I thought we were shooting 15, so I had to make bullets before I left on Sunday Morning. I didn't get enough loaded up to shoot a match so I used them for sighters. I didn't figure out till the 3rd time that the new ones were hitting between a 1/4 and a 1/2 min lower than the bullets that I was shooting for score so I basically gave up 3 to 4 points in the first 3 to 4 shots till I dialed down. (learned something)

I screwed up my first relay when the wind was almost calm. I had some operator errors and ended up with some vertical worked it out in my head and solved it for the last two matches.
