Varmint for Score - 05/29/17
Today we shot the monthly Varmint for Score match at my local club and I was tickled to win with a score of, 250-16x.
It's an informal match and not sanctioned so we compete for bragging rights and try to back up our scores by shooting better next month, proving it wasn't a fluke.
We're not a big group, usually 10-12 shooters but there's no sympathy, if you drop a point you're "Toast"
I shot a 6mmBR for several seasons as most of the shooters do but I've been shooting a 30BR for a couple years now and as much as I love a good 6mmBR, there's no going back for this match.
Last month was the first match of the season and I shot the match but dropped a couple points below my average that stung but I found the problem.
I switched front rests in the off season and the front bag needed a bit more sand than I had realized. A simple fix but I've been too busy to practice and just showed up and shot the match with a slightly loose bag on the front rest...
Next month I gotta prove my win wasn't a fluke.
Anybody else shooting local Club Matches?
Prettiest of the day, after the clean barrel settled down...
