Apr 25 2023 - Recap of the 2023 URSA 3000 Yard Challenge event (by RD, Lynn Dragoman; build info from Oscar)
Shooters - The winds were wreaking havoc at 2630 yards once again with all shooters using 3.4 or 10+ MOA for each shot depending on chambering and wind. We went hot at 9 AM due to shading on the gong. When the dust settled Lynn took home the win shooting his 375 Cheytac and our own RickyRacer87 was Runner-Up one shot back with his 33XC.
Amanda won the 1st place raffle prize, a 338 rifle Congrats Amanda!! Last year's 3K Match winner Calshipbuilder won the 2nd place raffle prize, a 4.050 MDT magazine setup for his chassis - when installed we’ll see how it all works. Lynn won a 8 pound jug of H50BMG powder for 3rd place in the raffle.
Weather was sunny all day but the winds were relentless with nobody getting a hit at 3400 yards during our fun shoot after the 3K match.
Next match is 3rd Sunday in May (5/21). See you there.
