I have been asked for more pictures, so here they are plus a video.
Results will be posted soon on the Berger bullets site.
Over 200 shooters competed from all over the US and 4 provinces. Five days of competition ending on Sunday, one day at 600 yards to warm up and the rest at 800, 900 and 1000. As a novice at long range if you have ever considered attending a major match, do not hesitate to attend this one next year. You will meet some of the best shooters in the world who are friendly and helpful and gain a lot of experience shooting in some interesting conditions. Winds can shift in the middle of a string and the mirage is in HD.
Just the competitors on the line I could fit in a picture.
Prep time before the targets are up. The only time when the flags were hanging straight down.
There were 10 hot air baloons in the air at once. One landed 500 yards behind the range.
You were either shooting, scoring, or working the pits. Very little down time.
Target in down position on the left backstop on the right.
1000 yard target ready to go.
Got a chance to shoot with Mid Tompkins U.S. F class head coach Wednesday after the match at Ben Avery.
About 10 of us shooting today. Cost to shoot at the range was $6.00.
For those of you who have never shot at a 1000, here is sling shooter praticing today (iron sights at a 1000)
Looking over Mid's shoulder at the targets with camera on zoom to see the targets. Google Mid Tompkins if you have never heard of him.
Me prepping to shoot (the only Manitoba snowball in Phoenix) glasses worn when shooting.
Wind conditions change, just find a steel fence and swap barrels.
A video of target marking for those who can make it work.
