Western Colorado 600 yard September match report

[Mulligan]

It was a BLUSTERY DAY in the 100 acre woods!!!!! To quote Christopher Robin and his friend Poo.

After a week of record high temperatures (well over 100*F) on the Western Slope, we were greeted with seasonal temps (60's) in the morning, which we were all very grateful for, and some darn persnickety winds for the match.

Jerry's tactical rifle came mighty close to whipping all the BR rifles at the match today.
We will all be happy when that barrel is worn out!!!

Target 10 silly

Too funny, with all that wind I thought maybe the out edge.

great photos. Would you know the material used for the red and yellow flags, and the approximate dimension? Straight-out flags at that distance , even if made with light nylon material, is usually worth at least 1.5-2.0 MOA....before the problem of gusts or let-offs. Good shooting.

Jim,
There are clay targets on the berm behind the target frames, and sighter plates below the targets.
I was holding center of target.

These are the range flags we use. I THINK, when the end is tipped up, it's pushing over 20mph???????

Maybe some of the F-Class or High-power crowd will learn me up on this?

Outstanding,
Thank you Sir!

I have read that book over and over again. One of the best for long range shooters of all disciplines for sure.
