16 Jul 2017 - Recap of the SoCal Jul ‘17 shoot (by Facilitator)
Temp was terrible - especially for those that decided to come out the afternoon before - and wind was atypical (significant and almost constant)...but the shooters prevailed with three qualifying at 2080 yards. Nevada shooters were well represented and took the Winner’s slot - Kurt S. shooting his semi-antique Amac, shell-holder-style, .50 cal rifle with 36” Rock barrel and Nighforce optics. He was shooting 750 gr A-Maxs. NorCal also came to visit and Hoffer came in as Runner-Up - in Sudden Death, when Bill W. ran out of ammo. Hoffer was shooting his little gun (Short Action Custom-built.338 LM Imp with 7-35 ATACR) and 300 Berger hybrids. Hoffer qualified very impressively, hitting 5 in a row to garner his third achievement target. Bill W.(another Nevada import) was also shooting well, garnering his first achievement target. Gallery updated, as well as the Stats page. [Thanks to Bill W. - I copped two of the pics he posted on CalGuns. See http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/showthread.php?p=20378049#post20378049 ]
URSA NorCal is dark until October in deference to multiple deer seasons.
