URSA SoCal Recap from 1/15/17: It was Tu's Day on Sunday 
One of our regulars, Tu, had his day today - qualified, won the event (at 2080 yards), and...qualified for the URSA 3000 Yard Challenge (2017)! We were hoping he would also be the first shooter at the SoCal venue to score a Recognition target (min 5 hits in 10 shots)...close but not enough. Tu was shooting his Desert Tech HTI in 375 CT, running a Nightforce ATACR F1 5-25x56 MOAR, and using Cutting Edge 325 gr Lazers. Our runner-up was Mark, shooting a .300 WinMag. And everyone got hits.
Small\ crew - more than half bailed after signing up - but we managed. Very cold at the start (low 40s) and no wind. Switching wind came up as the event progressed - off the left edge followed by two targets to the right. Hoping for more shooters next month as the clock ticks down on 3K qualification opportunities. Data will be updated and pics posted in the URSA Gallery after returning from SHOT.
