GSSF match at South River Gun Club

I RO'd my first match this weekend. Put everything into a whole new light. I spent about 1/3rd of the time scoring, and 2/3rds of the time running the timer/competitors.
The GSSF match went GREAT! I just wish I had shot well... Saturday was so busy, I only left my stage long enough to stuff down a hamburger. But, at the R.O diner that night, I got to meet "the Gunny" R. Lee Ermy and had a fun talking with him.
I managed to shoot the stages early Sunday, but found myself rushing trying to get back to work my stage. I cleaned the plate rack with my 17, but blew the first 2 strings with my 34. I did well with both guns on the Glock M stage, but blew the 5 to Glock stage with my 17. I finished 50th out of 176 with my 17 (Civilian). My misses on the plate rack ended up having me finish 108th out of 126 with my 34 (competition).

Now I am getting ready for the Area 6 Multi Gun Championship this weekend. I'll post my results next week...


One last thing: I won a stage two weeks ago. I was the highest Production shooter on the classifier... Shot solidly in the "B" range, much better than my usual high "D" to low "C" range. I never get tired of talking about this. It was my first major goal to be achieved!

New toys

I have several new additions over the past several weeks:
1) A used 12 gauge Remington 11-87. I took it out and it runs GREAT! ran 25 shells through it... quickly... no problems. I will take it out soon for some trap or skeet. I want to put more through it to get used to it.

2) A Ruger Mark III 22/45 Hunter. I took it apart tonight to clean it before using it, and the reviews are correct - taking it apart and then re-assembly suck! But, when finished, I took it out and ran 10 rounds through it rapidly... all ran perfect! This will definitely be my practice tool of choice. I also look forward to using it at Steel Challenge matches. I hope to make it to the range tomorrow to sight it in and run a few hundred rouunds through it :)
