HRA Precision & Snap Shooting Match Sunday 8 March 15

[John MH]

My 200 Yard Dot Drill Target shown below. The Hun's Heads are 24mm wide (effectively 1/2 MOA @ 200 yards), shots are numbered in the order taken. Shots 1 & 2 were on the LH sighting diamond (2" across the diagonal), I did not adjust for windage or elevation until after the 2nd shot. I called shot 7 as low so its was not a grouping error that resulted that elevation drop. I now estimate that after adjustment I had 1/4 MOA too much wind to the right and had I not incorrectly set that it would have maybe got me 2 more scoring hits; it could, however, of been the wind variation as it was changing speed from 5 to 7 mph from 10 o'clock. Target shot within a 4 minute time limit starting in the standing alert position.

Sounded like a good day John, our lot were quite intrigued by the vollies of fire.

"Is that what you get up to" was the main question, I just said no, we move about more and this match looks a ruddy sight more difficult.

I had to laugh when the long range targets came up looking from 600. Our club sec has entered the historic shoot next month so I just told him it would be the same targets but with Irons clapclap

The Fig 14's at 600 yards were fun!

Without doubt one of the best matches I have ever shot; it was very challenging with like minded people, what's not to like?
