Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Competitive Shooting Sporting Rifle Match in Raton NM

The names are abbreviated because all scoring is done on paper and then it's left to me to type them in and I'm lazy.

Here are photos from the May match. We had a record turn-out of 33 shooters. I shot on the "silent" squad with three other experienced shooters and one newbie. The weather was fantastic; it didn't even start out cold. Wind conditions were pretty mild (0-3/4 value) for this location.

Here I am dialing for the longest shot of the match, 875 yards (I hit it).

Two identical AI-AWM's chambered in 7mm RM. The only difference is the model of suppressor and the scope. We were shooting the same bullet, the 162gr AMAX, though I didn't have enough and had to finish the match with some left over 168 Bergers.

Here is S-'s .260 and RD-'s 7mm WSM.
