[Shooter 2.5]

Boy, did I miss my spotter scope. LOL. This was a lot of fun. Congatulations to C Martel for overall.
I was hoping to shoot the match with the '03A3 but it still hasn't arrived. I called the CMP and the delivery dates are at 3 months.

I've got some more data at home I'll post tonight - best group, etc. Lion Den Dan got quite a few X's, and he would have walked away with it, but he had about as many misses as Xs. I believe Charles got a 2" group on his CF sitting, might be the best in the match for CF.

I have a new respect for the .22. I would never have thunk this caliber was of much use over 100 feet. Shooting vanilla .22 LR ammo, I could hear the bullet strike the target a split second after firing, but the CCI stinger ammo cracked. I'll have to check it out on my cronograph.

Congrats to Charles Martel, and thanks to everyone for participating. Also, thanks to everyone who sent in a donation with their targets, it more than cut the cost of sponsering this event in half.

I'm astonished. Going into this match, I never figured my score would be anywhere near the top. It's been years since I shot a serious match "on paper", so I had no idea what scores to anticipate. The past few years, I have concentrated mostly on silhouette - both smallbore and centerfire rifle. That's a hit-or-miss game, no scoring rings. I guess that experience (along a painfully tight sling - and tons o' good luck) helped immensely. It was fun... ping me for the next go-round. I'm building a .45 Kentucky Rifle, so I'll be able to participate in the blackpowder event, if that is the next up. Anyone know a gunsmith who does rust browning work?

Thanks to capnball for running this match, and thanks to you, Shooter 2.5, for keeping it all on-track.
