Post by a.JR »

Hi guys , Last weekend was the 2nd of 5 matchs at 600yds.Conditions were way better to look at ,mirage down to a quiet roar but a switchin ,left/ right following breeze kept it interesting.. Groups for the most part were down ,scores a bit better..Factory was Albow(Allan) with the 223 ,he's a happy vege, score went up to 166 and the groups were better at 8.2 ins..Light gun score was Dirty feet Pete at 194 (top mark so far) with his 30.338W ,group was Bob Mulder from Mackay with 2.58in from his 30 BR..Shortly after this Bob had to have his refreshments outside the club house as he could not fit his f...in head through the door opening...on ya BOB..Heavy gun took the top score to a 53 from 55 and the small group down to 2.04ins ..Agg in Light was 4.16ins by BOB Noakes with a 284w.. I see a 55 and a 1inch group as coming at the next match which is the Championship event on the 8th JULY ..JR..Jeff Rogers..PS.. Next event is the 1st 1000yd Benchrest Match on April 8th

Yep very happy with the improvement on the score JR however still not grouping as well as at the practice day :roll:

If I can get the groups to be as good as the practice day I reckon I could get to the mid to late 170's for a score.

Will just have to see what happens next time!

Mate,
From what I saw of your gun, you can hold your head high in any crowd... 8" group @ 600 yards for a stinking 223 is outstanding.
(Good to meet you and Bob also)

When Rob sends them I will poke some photos into this thread if JR wants?
