Thanks for all the help in hosting the fun, NY. The Timed and Rapids were interesting. I hope it didn't cost you a lot in time and money. It was nice finding out that I had a little problem with my reloads that this match was able to expose. Now all I have to do is burn up about two thousand rounds that have the poor powder amounts.

Late last year, I decided to join a local range. I had been heavily involved in competitive shooting until I got married / bought a house / had a couple of kids... you all know the story.

I was itching to get into a match to see if I could still shoot straight. Remebering NRA postal matches from high school, I immediately thought that FR would be a good place to find like-minded souls lookin' to do some shootin'.

I was right, quite a few expressed interest and I had to turn several away. After a few mis-steps, the participants finally got their targets.

I shot the match on a windy day that had the target holders spinning in their stands. For the .22, I used a Ruger MkII 6-7/8" SS fairly stock except for the grips and a target trigger.. For centerfire, I used a S&W 6" L Frame 586 in .38 - again stock except for trigger and grips. Ammo was S&B wadcutters and Federal match .22's.

I was not especiallly happy with my scores, but considering that I last shot in a match 10 years ago (with younger eyes), I'll take what I got.

What we have here are 16 winners, everyone got to go out and improve their marksmanship, have fun, and learn a little about their abilities.

Congratulations to Shooter, umgud, 5madman and chookter on their outstanding performance.

If I get any more targets, I will post the revised list, but I am sure most of you were as anxious as I was to see where you stood.

Thanks again to all !

Congrats.
