The first day was a pretty unorganized goat rodeo. On the website it said we could check zero and check in on Friday evening. The check in part didn't happen and we were told to be back at 8am the next morning to do so. Well, the shooters meeting didn't take place until 10:45 and first rounds didn't go down range until just before noon. Some COFs were pretty good, but there was very differential enforcement of rules and no consistency in match terminology between stages. Some COFs were impossible, some COFs were shot by locals the in the prior months and even the day prior, and some COFs were way too easy. Anyways, the second day seemed like a completely different match run by different people. It was a kick ass field shooting match with great COFs. Unfortunately, they started way late again, Charlie and I had to change flights (setting us back 250 bucks a piece) and we still had to leave immediately after shooting the last stage. No awards, nor prize table.
I'm proud of Charlie. He kicked some serious ass with a scope he zeroed the day before the match and a load for which he had no solid dope. He put on a clinic for the guys in his group, some of which had already shot some of these stages.
The helo stage was a blast. This was a first for me. (Had to add some music otherwise it'd be just white noise)
If they tweak some things here and there, I think this could be a premier match. The venue is awesome with plenty of area for all kinds of COFs. Its one to keep an eye on.
Here's some of Charlie:
