Tack Driver 7

[6BRA]

I hope you found my WYO humor to be a little funny. You guys have a great State up there to visit and a great steakhouse in Casper.

And 60mph winds..lol

"how about a better buy in. Say 10k put your money where your mouth is"

I'd have to talk to Jim Cline first, but I'd sell my spot for 10 grand

Some of the time 60 is constant. Gust to who knows. Maybe 140.

Lets get back on track.

It is 199 days and 15 hours util the Tackdriver starts. I am looking forward to the match and visiting with all my friends.
May have to shoot something a little different this year.

I wasn't joking about the wind. I work less than a mile from the wind farm and Stuckenhoffs. There are wind farms from Casper to Glenrock and south to the Elk mountain/ Medicine bow area. There's a reason we have them. Just a warning as to what may occur more often than you think. I try to shoot on the nice days every week. There are more weeks you will get a wind report than not. I posted this else where, but this has been a bad year for wind. This also so happens several time a year on any given month and for several days.

Realizing that we are under 200 days now, I started prepping brass for this year's 308. Confidence abounds. In addition, I'm rebuilding my bench for better practice conditions. WH

Joe, at least we won’t have to put up with the 30’ tall flags

 

[Fuj]

And here all along, I thought those were cell towers !!

Really looking forward to this again, and especially the TDL Yinz are
having down in Texas, about a month before......

This is the Tackdriver string. The match is in Dublin, Georgia. Far cry from Casper.

I was talking to Joe Duke about that this past weekend, seems almost like I will miss them..... but nawwww.

I personally like ranges with a bit more rugged terrain. Not that they offer me any advantage, mind you. They just serve up more plausible excuses for my inevitable failures. My own 300 meter range is over pretty rough pasture, has elevated targets, and swirling winds. I finish each practice session in a state of confusion. This should put me in familiar territory at the match. WH

For those who've never shot Dublin, Ga range, naw it don't blow 60-100 mph. But it is one of the most challenging ranges to be found. Sometimes the flags are red, sometimes green and sometimes red and green at the same time! Sometimes doing nothing, that's the worst! I've lived on this range over 25 years or so,since we built it. I've shot on it ,some center fire,mostly rimfire. My home range pisses me off more than others! Anyways,looking forward to all yall coming.
