21 Feb 2022 - Recap of the URSA NorCal Feb ‘22 event (by RD, Lynn Dragoman; build info from Oscar)
Well we had a first time shooter at this months match and he was shooting an Armalite AR50 with factory 660 grain federal american ball ammo. I have shot factory ball ammo in the past and was concerned that we might not get our new shooter on target. Long story short our newest shooter got 5 hits his first time out and he did it with factory ball ammo!!! Nice shooting James and welcome aboard you shot very well.
Next up was Stephen who had shot one time with us over a year ago. He hit 5 out of 10 at 2054 yards to take home the win for match 1. Very nice shooting Stephen. Stephen also qualified for the 3K match by getting that 5/10.
In match 2 Calgun regular Rickyracer87 took home the win with 5 hits out of 10 shots.
James and Stephen shot both matches but they shot match 2 without any sighters or practice shots which is even more amazing. I suspect they will bring more ammo to any future events and do even better.
Congrats to Stephen and RickyRacer87, you both shot well!!!
