June 600y Field Precision Rifle Match at Palo Alto

[Barney88PDC]

Had a blast watching and learning. Even had fun in the pit doing mickey's job-- I mean helping. Thank you guys for being so hospitable and patient with all of my questions.

With over 5k post in just over a year I would have thought you would be handing out Pro Tips .

Lol. On BS I live by the quantity over quality philosophy. You'd be surprised how butthurt some guys on here get about it.

Did I meet you yesterday?

Thanks for the videos Mickey! I haven't had a chance to see that thing shot with the new loads but I was quite impressed. Once I finally got my cheek weld figured out it would dance from one side of the x ring to the other.

I was calling the line when Ted fired off his first round. Ted was on Target 8 and the shooter on his right (FISHSTICKER) was on Target 6, so they had about 8 feet between them. When Ted touched the round off, Eddie looks at me and goes "My Goodness!" I made the mistake of leaving my mat and gear on the line next to Ted after my string. After Ted finished shooting, I had to get all the grass and dust off of it. The barrel was out past the firing line. If it hadn't have been it would have probably knocked by spotting scope over, too.
That rifle is impressive!

Ah, yeah. Don't think I formally introduced myself. I was the tall 12 year-old talking to Mickey most of the time. Shook your hand right before I left. Was nice meeting all of you guys.

I asked Mickey if that's was you after we left. Good meeting you, too. As you saw yesterday, we have fun at these matches and we and all the others there are glad to see new folks and answer questions. It's what I did before I got into F-Class. And asking questions of knowledgable people kept me from buying gear I would have had to replace shortly after when I found it to be inadequate.
Hope ypu make it out again soon.

Maybe one day, Ill get a chance to come shoot again. I think Ive shot my rifle like 1 round in the past 4 months, and I missed. Hopefully, Ill make it in July.

I bet yall miss my brake when that 338 is on the line.

That was about to happen to me. Was planning on the viper pst 6-24. Really glad I made it out and saw what 42 looked like compared to 24. Your 8-32 was a nice piece also.

Glad you caught yourself then. You would have been disappointed. You can always dial back on magnification.

Thanks. Mickey said he told you the story behind the 8-32. Nice door prize at MS State Match in 2011. We also give one away each year at our State Match in October.

Hope to have the rifle together by then, but not sure. Even if I'm not competitive at that point, I still like the challenge.

[ALEXANDER]

I tried those once, 4 hours later I had to go the ER...

 

[mickey]

That is what they say to do in the commercial!

You guys are killing me. I caught that brain fart from "Alexander the Great" also, but you beat me to the punch Mickey. Oh crap...I'm still laughing
