did OK the 1st day, i think i was #2 in my squad, but BLEW day 2 with bad wind calls and 2 targets i forgot to dial dope on http://www.ar15.com/images/smilies/smiley_thinking.gif

ended up 12th but i won just what i wanted, 50% of a new Broughton barrel

Sponsors were nuts, is the last place, #35 when home with prizes...

1 of the owners of Voodoo Tactical was up there shooting, not bad for a lefty ;)

How often do they have shoots like this up there?
I was just in Michigan last month for the first time picking up a new Rottweiler pup.
Really nice up there.

This match, I think once a year.. We have them twice a year in Ohio, 60+ shooters, PA has a few and some of the southern states.

I'm in Indiana, not too far away from those locations.

Rayner runs monthly "plate" matches out to 1000 or 1100y "great for dope", only 20$ to shoot, and i "think" you can stay after as well
Rayners dont just have 1 info thread :(

http://www.raynersrange.com/
Rayners runs a spring and fall full blown sniper match, those matches are EXTREMELY popular, and fill up to 60+ shooters almost immediately... to get in on that, i suggest you email them to "get on the list"


both also have tons of videos on youtube, do a search
