Finally, I will have my special super dooper race gun for Service match at home, and will be able to achieve that 800 score soon. Today, the weather was beeeeea yoooootiful. Ice cold 17 degrees. Still had two aways for a 792 because its shooting to the right. Or maybe I am. Or maybe its because we had no timer. Or because I used club ammo.
I dunno, but there are so many excuses in this fuggin handgun gun game that Im pretty sure its me! Its like chess and golf and bridge all rolled into to one! Absolute bastard of the thing. Why do I enjoy this???
EDIT: Also, one of the guys at the club turns out made a youtube video that I really liked! 416 Ruger vid. What a legend, and how cool to put 2+2 together. Thought he looked familiar!

300 Norma’s got a run out to a mile in 34km/h full value winds.
Was good learning experience as we typically shoot < 15km/h winds.
Mine is the one at the back but they are the same.

Did you hit anything at those ranges though mate?
Not trying to be a smartass, just generally interested as i couldnt generally hit a barn from the inside.

Valid question mate.
3/10 impacts. 1m square target. Definately no first round hits in that wind but elevation was on point. Means the gun is dialed in i just need to get better at wind estimation. Whatever you think the wind is add more is what I’m taking away from it.
Mine are the three in the top left. Mates Norma are the two on the right.

That target at that distance is. 65mils or 2.23 moa, so not a tiny target. The gun is shooting <.5moa @100m and sd’s are <15fps. The Norma is still supersonic there so not really a challenge for it, only for me which is what I’m after.

Which range is that at mate?
A block on a friend’s farm. 9km long and 3.5km wide so nice and safe to blast away.
Edit: sorry @Supaduke , did you mean distance or location. Incase you were after distance it was 1545m.

So I finally had a free Saturday and went up to Jarrahdale for field rifle to sight in my 223
Only to 50m so far… I’m going to need some binoculars or something because I can’t see tiny holes any further than that 
Also bumped into a couple of blokes from my pistol club in sswa conservation gear so now I know who to buddy up with!

That’s some very good shooting, especially at 50yd. Kudos to the shooter, because I was having doubts that your ammo could even fly that far.

Well, I’ve shot another 22 PRS’esq match, which was fun. Getting funky with barricades and obstacles. He’s excellency, @sungazer rocked up to test his mettle - the mettle has been tested. As always, great fun. Was afraid that we were going to get rained-out, but the shooting gods had other ideas to test the most dedicated 
…also I managed to clean some guns from a bunch that still require cleaning. But, I got some out of the way.
I aim at the sun.
