    Has a decision been made on the "F"Class match for this Saturday? Supposed to be some really bad weather all weekend. I'm asking because I work on Saturdays and need to arrange for a day off to make it to the matches.

    Decisions are made the night before at the earliest. The weather around here can change from hour to hour and the weather forecasts are only correct 40% of the time.....every time.

    WHEW!!! Awesome match, but MAN was it hot! Great shooting Log Island!! That 7mm Rem Mag did a hell of a job now that you've tamed it back some. Sugarbug put some impressive numbers up on the board as well not even considering it was his first match. All in all I think everyone left after a great time shooting. See y'all next month.

    It is now my new addiction. That was a blast!

    Very thankful to Mr. Rick for letting me borrow his rifle for the match. That trigger is just amazing, but did cost me 3 points when I made the mistake of checking the wind again before I fired without taking my finger out of the guard... Scored a 7 without even looking through the scope. 7 more points than I deserved, though.

    Are the prone, no bag shooters members here?

    I told Robert that his 590 score with iron sights and no supports made me feel bad about myself. Extremely impressive.

    Hopefully I'll be able to fire my own rifle at next month's match. It's supposed to be in the 40s next month, right?

    Glad you had a good time. At 1.5 ozs as you found it doesnt take much to set it off. You shot with a couple of great guys.

    Lots of great guys at the matches. Funny watching them all giggle like girls when someone is shooting with a brake, lol.

    Thanks , but I took second. It great hanging out with you.

    Second is still mighty impressive. Enjoyed talking with you and your son. He put up a good score as well. Not had for an 11 year hiatus.
