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

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

the guy i drove up with got a 200 or 250$ gift cert to a www.oaklandtactical.com , then at the end won a rafel for a FREE Nightforce NXS of his choice....

targets were TINY for non prone shots, like this... the red "bar" is 4" wide and shot from 500 to 600+ with 8-15mph winds


it was used in shots from positions like this

and from this tree



or




and goofy baracades like this

[taliv]

staging area instructions were no two guns should be pointed in the same direction?


seriously though, glad to see yankees are getting some matches going up there

did you hit the red bar?

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.
