My First rifle high power match (45 long colt) a marvelous experience
First of all, I must admit my intention was have fun not compete. Secondly, I found a large variety of rifles, people, couple of kids and a nice ex-vet of vietnam who gently help me with rules and lend me his bench rest. Mostly the shooters did with .223-.308-30.06 and others high power calibers, therefore my winchester 94-45 long colt (iron sights) sound like an air gun comparing to them. When I began to drill at 100 yards my first shot was out of the target, but at third I did an eigth suddenly my first x appears (5 in total) in scene motivate me highly. Obviously, I knew my limitation in regards of cal. sights and experiences. However, shooting @ range was always something fun and it was again. The second string was my high score when timing arrive to my sights. Finally, the third string probably was a lower score may be I was just overwelmed by incredibles shooters and the ex-vet who was the highest score with his AR-15 Colt with special match upper (599-43). Even though, my final score was very low 327-5 I enjoyed very much the marvelous experiences of shoot high power match where focus and skills must be merge to get the best of you. In short, a marvelous experience to recommend to a everyone.
P.s. I promessed return and improve.
