It's 72 miles from my driveway to the 200 yardline at the range. Takes about 1:15 drive time, two cinnamon rolls and a cup of coffee from the Filipinos at Shipleys Donuts. The girls were reading periodicals this morning.
I made a nice video that is sitting in the imovie editor and had a satisfying time with the folks on the range and my rifle. About 40 folks signed up. I shot a 193X3 offhand, which included a 95 on the first string and a 98 on the second. Betsy the AR-15 was really shooting. Light was overcast and perfect and I appreciated the comfortable weather for human beings outside in Texas. Most of the year here, the weather is perfect.
199X7 sitting rapid, 195X5 prone rapid at 300 and then spoiled a nice score with a 190X1 at 600. I shot a perfect donut around the X ring, mostly tens but with a few nines and a couple of strange eights hanging out. The bullets would go anywhere but in the center. I'm going to try them seated OUT a little further but I am starting to think about changing to a different batch of 80 grain Sierras. The 80s come in 500 count boxes and the troubles started about when I started this box, come to think of it.
Finished at 777X16. Mike Carter won the club championship for the third or fourth time with a 788X32 shooting his match rifle.
Katye Foster shot a 775, her personal best, and cleaned one string at 200 sitting rapid. The first time she has ever cleaned a 200 rapid. She's getting better, quickly. So much better so quickly that I made sure she was on my team for the State Service Rifle Championship later this month.
