Nobody went shooting this weekend?
Bob
6.5 Creedmoor
I'm waiting on new glass for my .308. Vortex is taking 4-5 weeks to build right now. Maybe I'll have it by this weekend.
S&W Fan
.475 A&M Magnum
I intended to go out. I'm not a fair weather shooter but wind chills were in the single digits all day Sat.
ManrisFrack
6.5 Creedmoor
Wifey and I went to the range this morning. I hoped to shoot all three but only got the 25yrd off-hand rifle done. We had to get back to meet the boy's bus.
Was getting tired and impatient toward the bottom. Hopefully I can get back to knock the 100yrd at least.
$3.35 hit out of $3.53 - Former Employee

Nice shooting. A little tougher than it looks isn't it?

6.5 Creedmoor
Thanks, definitely isn't easy. I might try again with the sling, see if that helps. Don't have much of that ammo left though.
No takers from this weekend?
I spent both days assisting with a NRA pistol instructor certification class! Hopefully next weekend, If the conditions are good I may try the 77/22 at 100 yards if that doesn't work one of my 223's.
Only 9 days left to get your entry in!!!!
sand bagers?
Maybe but, I think people are skerd!
4 days left............
I'm a chronic procrastinator. 
I went on Friday, but was with my friends, one of which had never shot before. So I was busy assisting them and didn't want to make them sit through my slow fire. I'm planning on going again on Wed. or Thurs. to do the challenge!

Believe it or not that was the funnest target to make so far. I researched all the coin sizes then put it together with the pictures of the coins at actual size. Shooting dimes at 100 yards is a challenge but, shooting them at 200 yards is almost mission impossible.I'm a chronic procrastinator.

It was a good idea. It looks like it's going to be pretty challenging but fun nonetheless. Next month's one looks even better. It'll probably be easier for me to rack up some points that at least look respectable. I'm still trying to find a factory load that my barrel likes best, seeing as I don't reload (yet).
If that is a 308 Try federal gold medal match in either 168 or 175.
If it is a 223 try the 69 grain federal gold medal match.

It's a .223 . Thanks, I'll look for some.
two more days.........
Well, sort of a mixed range trip but I'll post this anyways in the spirit of participation.
25 yard challenge,
Amount due: $6.47
Amount tended: $10.00
Change given: $0.42
AR-15, Rem. UMC 55gr., Vortex Viper 4-12x40.
Lol.
I ended up missing the larger coins. I couldn't get the space for the 100 yard, but that's ok cause I wasn't grouping well anyways. I think it's been too long since I cleaned the AR and it's affecting the accuracy, not sure. But on the positive side... I met some nice guys who were waiting for my slot and they let me shoot a few of their guns, including a .300WSM. That was pretty sweet.

Did you shoot ten rounds or just 8?
I shot 10. There's 1 in the sight in circle by mistake and one off the top of the paper.
This one was A little tough, wasn't it?
Oh yeah, it kicked my ass. Maybe I'll try to use the SKS for next month's 25 yarder.
