doug and myself (cb bandits) were shooting 7mm's at 2900+, i agree that the higher bc does help a person in the wind and such, when shooting 30 cal lower bc bullets the need to be able to read the conditions is more important/ less forgiving. but on the other hand i don't know how you would set up such a shoot with two seperate categories. in the end the fun factor is great no matter what. great shoot guys. will be there next year....maybe i need a 300 mag now that i think about it!!
Alberta Long Range Challange ******Results & Rest of Pics Added******

Yep pretty cool prize, and all I got was a hat, although it is a nice hat. Makes it a lot more fun when there is some great longe range shooting related products to be won at an event like this. Please don't forget to thank the sponsors guys.
Maby next year I'll build the rifle we give away? How does a 7mm WSM on a trued up rem or maby even a Stiller action sound?
CKW, I'll have the transfer number for you sometime tomorrow and you can come get the rifle sometime this week. I'm back out of town now but I left it at my Dads place for you to pick up once the transfers done. It was nice to see a guy who could really use this rifle win it. Congrats, again!!!

Pics Soon. Photo Bucket is really slow tonight
.Here's a pic of the targets on the 700m berm. The cold bore shot was made on the yellow "VIP" target with grey "bodyguard" targets on each side. Points were deducted if the grey targets were hit.
Spoting for the cold bore shot before each team moved on to there own color targets.
The gun tent. Some very nice equipment in there. This is not even all of them as there were more on the trailor outside and six on the line.
The window shoot. Lots of fun. A lot harder than it looks.
Another pic of the gun tent. I see about $20,000 just in optics there, never mind the guns.
This is just the first day. Still more to come.......

Looks like you guys had an awsome shoot, and it Kills me to have missed it, and even more now that I see the pics.
Congrats to all who made it and those that won. Hope to be there at the next one.

Damn, I missed out! Looks like it was a hoot!
Just to clarify any potential wrong impressions with my acquaintances, the photo of the Asian gentlemen in the photo with the caption "Here's our Favorite heckler..." Is NOT me (Pikachu)
