Today's match had a good turnout of 15 shooters with 3 new shooters to PBR, glad you guys came out to support the discipline. The weather was nice & not the usual July heat with no wind in the morning but the winds did start to blow soon after making some challenging shots on those small steel targets.
We shot 9 stages & were completed by 1:15... Thank you guys for helping to keep things running along, we had a few steel targets fail but with backups on hand we delt with it & kept trucking.
Stage 1 was a 6" shoot n see @ 300m ( cold bore ) 1 round triple ring value 10 sec par time starting standing with rifle on the ground. Eddy (new guy), Henry, James all nailed the 10 ring... Good job guys!
Stage 2 was the same target with 5 rnds in 40 sec. Danny scored the highest with an impressive 59 pts.. Way to go Danny
Stage 3 was roof top hold overs, 6 rnds in 70 sec we had 70yd paper, 200m 6" steel,300m 8" steel. James had the highest score with 40 pts showing us how it's done.
Stage 4 was the hostage targets 6 rnd in 90 sec, 1 round at each hostage taker flapper L&R at 150yd, 200m, & 12" plate @ 300m shot from the airbag... Rifle had to be supported by the bag & you were allowed rear support but getting a solid position was almost impossible as your reticle bounced around as if you were on a boat! -10 pts for hitting the white hostage. Henry,Ben & myself scored 5 hits.
Stage 5 was Tresslers light box... A very cool box that had 5 lights A-E that corresponded to targets at different locations & was at random. 5 rnds with the box giving you commands for random targets. You had to be quick & keep up with the commands because if it got ahead of you ..you easily got lost searching for the targets....very fun & challenging... Mr Tressler is a genius!! The highest was 2 hits by Henry, myself,Danny,James,Oscar & Nate showing you it was very difficult.
Stage 6 was the Vertigo stage... Shooters had to place the bat on the ground with forehead touching & complete 4 rotations around the bat causing you to become extemely dizzy, rifle was already on the ground with bolt back engaging the pink 200m then 300m steel back & forth with 6 rnds... Sounds easy but with your head spinning easier said than done! Henry, James & Rich C all scored 6 hits cleaning the stage... Well done gents!!
Stage 7 was Nates House...9 rnds with a mandatory mag change & no more that 5 rnds in each mag @ 6" orange steel set at 200m with 3 shots from each port in the house, we were given a 20 sec heads up before the 100sec were up saving you from a -30 pts for not exiting on time. Most didn't shoot all 3 ports due to not having enough time. Oscar had the highest score of 30pts (3 hits) nice job brother!!
Stage 8 was Race to the middle where 2 shooters went against each other shooting the diamond rack @ 150 yds from the outside in & hitting the stop plate @ 200m with the winner getting extra 20pts. Henry,Julian,Danny & James all scored 80 pts (all five 2" diamond hits & getting to the stop plates first against their competitors) awesome shooting guys.
Stage 9 was Mil it & drill it 5 rnds where the shooters all had 2 min to mil the position of 5 circles at 70 yds after the prep time shooters had 90 sec to shoot the circles that were now covered except for a reference point where measurements were taken during the prep time. In other words you couldn't see the actual circles plus we had a few no hit circles in between getting you neg points for hitting those. James & Nate both had 4 hits (40 pts)in the circles & no hits to the negative pt targets. You guys are awesome ;)
