Yes, I'll fix it for you. Again.

Went to a pretty big match over the weekend, two days of shooting. The NorCal Tactical Bolt Rifle Challenge involved shooting from 75yds to 1000yds, all with tightly timed strings. All sorts of scenarios were present, some more challenging than others.

I took my new(er) .308 M40A1 with a new load and no real LR practice, and still got 15th place in a field of 42 finishers. People from all over the west coast all the way to TX were there to share in the $30k+ prize table. I essentially won $800 in prizes, so travel, fees, and ammo got paid for.

There were some serious military shooters participating, some of which are current instructors. It was pretty cool to be shooting right with them. I'm still waiting to get pics of me, but I took plenty myself and put them here: Match Photo Album
