The results of my first ever trip out of town.

Just swapping from the deer rifle yearly build, to the travel with target rifle fund. ;\)

To much fun to be had, not to take advantage.

Looks like you were in the hunt.

Anyone who says the rush of competition shooting doesn't match (or exceed) that of shooting at game hasn't done it.

Excellent! What cartridge did you shoot? Details please.

I'm begining an open F Class rifle project based on a Savage 110 action. Probably will chamber a 6.5/284, Norma or Winchester neck. Want to use a Bartlein bbl as they are the next town over from me, but some of the pre-fits offered for the 110 are much less expensive for a JFF F Class rifle.

Congrats again, lots of fun!

Both Lt and Hvy rifles are set up as switch barrels. I took 2-6 Dasher 8t Kriegers.

Hey Tim,

If you get bored with the close range stuff,

you can move on back to the 1000 yard line and give it a whirl.

I have friends who go to Aurora MO, and invite me regularly.

I wanted my first match to be something I`m used to.

I rode to Aurora with my buddy to pick up some smithing work and we took our rifles. I hit a 7" gong 4 out of 5 shots.
