OK, my night is consumed by family and I forgot a few things.
Can someone bring some paper towels and something to put the beans in on the BBQ to warm them up?

Anyone think I could catch a ride with them from the Park N' Ride to the spot? My car....in addition to being well on it's way to being no longer cost worthy to repair status, has no A/C anymore.

Sorry I can't be there! But I'm "Working" sunday. That's how I fund all the fun. I'm a Real Estate Broker....need I say more.
Everyone have a good shoot.

I'll be at the park and ride in the morning.
We will have another truck that should have lots of room for an ez-up to be thrown into it.

Have fun guys, give James some double earpro, it looks like he might be overly sensitive to loud noises in the morning.

Hava fun guys.... I am off to Vegas for the week.

Short Action Precision · Sun Jun 27, 2010 7:19 pm

Thanks guys for putting this on. So not worth $40!!! Should have charged more! The food was great and the knowledge was awesome. Glad to shoot the gong at 1k. Was not expecting that.

DJDace · Post by **DJDace** » Sun Jun 27, 2010 7:47 pm

Thanks too all the guys that put so much work into making today a lot of fun. Sorry I couldn't stay longer, I really would have liked to take a few cracks at that 1000 yard steel, maybe next time.

Thanks especially to all the guys that went out of their way to help re-zero my scope after I needed to re-position it. I know things slowed down due to zeroing issues, I'll buy each of you a beer/drink next time we get a chance to drink while not handling rifles.

Outstanding clinic, answered a ton of my questions and offered a lot of great advice.

Thanks again.

linkpimp · Post by **linkpimp** » Sun Jun 27, 2010 9:02 pm

Another great day with another bunch of great guys..

Thanks for everything team, I really enjoyed myself today.. I was GREAT to see all the new faces too..

Special thanks to the James, Curtis, Randall, Steven and the rest of the team who went out of there to make the day that much better for us all..

Much appreciated guys.. Thanks..

Have a great week everybody..

DirtRacer151 · Post by **DirtRacer151** » Sun Jun 27, 2010 9:54 pm

Good job guys! It was nice to see you guys improving throughout the day. Its even better that most of you were ringing steel more then Curtis was

I hope you guys feel more comfortable with what this is all about and won't be scared to start coming to more events and maybe even some matches soon!!

Post by **AR15barrels** » Sun Jun 27, 2010 9:54 pm

I'm finally home, showered and everything is put away.
14hr day after all is said and done!
I'm glad we won't be doing another one of these for at least a few months!

We stopped at Brad's and picked up the new steel.
Now we have two sets of steel for Angeles matches so we can run 2 people at the same time on separate sets of steel.
That should knock down the lag time on single shooter stages.

We forgot the two stands that you welded up and left them setup with the 100yd target.
Ryan needs to run down there tomorrow and retrieve them.

I had a great time. Have to work on my DOPE more though. Zeroing to 100 went a lot easier and quicker for me than I thought....after that though I was having trouble trying to find the correct DOPE for the 450....

On the plus side, since I finished getting my zero somewhat quickly, I was able to have a small amount of time to take some pictures(22 of them I think). The pictures are all about 1.5 to 2 MB each so if anyone knows an easy way to make the file size smaller so I can post them on here that would be great.

Thanks everyone for your tips and guidance. It's definitely something I want to continue and get better at.

Gnzrme.....tell your wife the potato salad was excellent and I think was a big hit.

Bajaracer · Post by **Bajaracer** » Mon Jun 28, 2010 6:19 am

I had a great time ! Thank you to everyone who showed up to help out. Its was great to meet new guys interested in same type of shooting as me. I will for sure start coming out every month.

Anybody wanna buy a savage? it hasnt been in any movies though.......

but still shoots great hahahaha

Thanks guys !

Put all the pictures in a folder.
In windows xp (and later), you can right-click a file and send to > mail recipient and windows will give you the option to re-size the images.
I use that tool to re-size images in bulk as follows:

Create an empty folder for the re-sized images.
Jump back to the large images folder and select all the images to re-size.
Right-click > Send to > Mail recipient.
A prompt will pop up asking you if you want to make the images smaller or keep the original size.
At the bottom is "show more options" where you can select from small, medium or large. (use medium)
Hit OK and a new email will be created with all the re-sized images attached.
If you get a prompt about creating a photo email, do NOT create a photo email.
Copy all the images from the attachment pane of that email.
Paste them into the empty folder you created earlier.

Upload those re-sized images to photobucket and post them here.

Shamrock · Post by **Shamrock** » Mon Jun 28, 2010 2:05 pm

Ok here's all the pictures I took. I apologize for the lack of better photos but the line was a bit crowded so it was hard for me to get in there without stepping on anyone or their equipment. The originals I have are much bigger. If anyone wants me to email them the full-size photo of them, shoot me a PM with your email address. Sorry to anyone I didn't get. To those who I took multiple pictures of....don't worry, I don't have a man-crush on you. You just had more space around you at the time for me to take pictures without disturbing anyone.

I just wanted to add my thanks to all who helped make the clinic possible.

There was a wealth of information and everyone was extremely welcoming and helpful.

A great intro class!!! Looking forward to more.

sbmunshi · Post by **sbmunshi** » Tue Jun 29, 2010 7:25 am

It was a great day. Thanks to everyone for their advice. It was great to meet all of you. I learned a lot...

I learned that all I need now is a 20moa base, some new glass with a mil dot reticle, a fully bedded stock and a bipod that swivels. :lol:

Seriously it was a lot of fun and I look forward to the next one. hopefully with some upgrades, like a super sniper 20x and HS stock.

Ask the two guys on the line that had 20x super snipers if they would buy one again... ;)

BIG NEGATIVE ! why you wanna buy one for cheap ?

It was hard to find the targets, once i found them its was good.

This weekend is going to cost me like 4K hahahaha My equipment is okay for what it is but not for what i intend to do. THANKS RANDELL !!!

I own one and if I could do it over again I wouldnt have done it anything inside of 200 yards is kind of a pain to find and I shoot with both eyes open. I'm currently saving up for a good variable powered scope.

sbmunshi · Post by **sbmunshi** » Tue Jun 29, 2010 9:55 am

Ok thanks for the info on the SS. I think that the base will help. I couldn't get out to 1k with my Redfield but I was happy with it until I maxed it out. I'll hold off on the glass for a while. At least until i get in some more trigger time. For my first time ever shooting a bolt gun I had a blast. I'm hooked! Nathan send me a PM on your stock. I'm interested.

The problem about going to these monthly practice shoots is that everytime you leave you're gonna wanna buy more and more stuff. I'm definitely guilty of that!!! Hahaha... :lol:

And wait until you go to course A and B practice with everyone and their custom rigs.
