The capns' 3rd and 4th pic down are of you shooting prone. I guess you'll just have to pose by the barrel at the next one

As poor as I did, I cant wait for the next event. I started shooting the 3rd set of targets from the 2nd shooting position (rifle). Then realized what the hell I was doing, tried to go back. Then when I got to the 3rd I couldnt remember what I already had hits on. Oh, what a mess I was getting hits at least, just out of order and too many per target.

Rhys,
Here are a few more that I took of you...I was trying to post a nice mixture of the different people before my battery decided that it did not like the cold and threatened to die.
Also, thank you Warsaw for posting some pics of me..I never seem to get any of those when I am behind the camera.

Great pics - thanks for posting them and I'm glad to hear you guys had a good time.

I'll post the Jan match as soon as I confirm the date.

One minor change I've been considering for the next 100 yard rifle stage is to have one or more very well camouflaged targets that will be required for those with magnified optics and bonus targets for red dots and iron sights.

Well I guess if a certain person with Iron sights is still cracking the top 3 we will have to deal with whatever that said person throws our way....... and, I like a challenge. I can't wait to put the January date on my calander.

If you are suggesting I would make the course more more challenging and interesting for everyone (including Paul) just because Paul beat me by 1 missed shot and 11 seconds and you are completely correct. err wait I mean wrong.
