First match
I shot my first CLAS match today and ended up with a 14. Not too bad for me considering I only have sight settings for chickens and pigs. So was trying the old hold over technique for turkeys and rams. Also rang 3 or 4 rams. I figure that this is more to do with the fact that the range I shot at is just getting started with the match so their targets are still sitting on the ground and not a rail or stand. It was also raining down there today. I know that the load I am using will knock the rams off of a rail. Even though I drove a 240km (174m for those not playing in Australia) round trip to get to the range I still had a great time. Which was made more special by the fact that I was using a rifle that my dad used to own.

Re: First match
Hey Westy, well aware of the "sickness" already. I've spent a far bit of money and time on the handgun side of the game. But I still reckon that it is a good disease to have. I shot down at the SSAA Gladstone range today. It is about 22km west'ish of Calliope.

Re: First match
The more you shoot this game the more excuses you collect.
You mentioned it was raining. Wet bullets could be the problem.
I discovered that sun from the right is better than sun from the left.
In Australia you can blame the Coriolis Effect.
Start collecting early.

Re: First match
Depending on which way you look at it I am either lucky or unlucky that there isn't a 500m range close by. If there was I would no doubt be looking for a suitable HP rifle as well as a BPCR one as well.

Re: First match
How funny. We (here in the Republic of Texas) have Black Widow spiders in the outhouses - they have a black body with a red area on the belly. Seems the Black Widow with the bottom red with be appropriate for you guys as you are "Down Under.".......daisy wrote:Looks like it would breed great Red Backs.geo01 wrote:Westy, I see you forked out extra for the flash dunny.
