"Land of Enchantment"
Precious ammo?...
Check.
The BIG GUN?... Check.
I'm headed to get Osama!
(just kidding)
I'm going to...
for...
Covertress shooting for score.
A Califorina family enjoys a road trip in 1910.
Road Trip!
"The Long and Winding Road"...
took me to strange places... like:
Asseff - Rd., Louisiana
Kiblah - Arkansas
Malta - Texas
Atoka - Oklahoma
Sardis - Lake, Oklahoma
Arnot - Rd., Texas
Pakam - Rd., Texas
Endee, New Mexico
Destination:
1,000 yard range... I mean,...
the 10-football-field-length range.
Did I mention that this range is...
1,000 YARDS long?!
Holiday Inn Express - Rodeo Clown Commercial
After 40 winks,...
I felt refreshed (& smarter!)
First raising of the new F.C.S.A. flag.
The first match day was just beautiful.
My Steyr HS .50 with Zeiss scope was ready.
My gun is second in this photo.
The competition's guns were ready.
My first day's best? ~ An O.K., 16 1/4" group.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
After I'd finished, it started to rain.
Day two of the match was also lovely...
with balloons filling the sky.
My rifle's first, cold-bore shot of the day.
Having tuned in my rifle and...
received tips from a top contender...
like how not to hold the .50 for score...
I shot a 14 1/2" group...
and then... it hailed.
Some shot for score in the mud...
Some WON BIG! (me)
a NEW RIFLE!... and...
a 4-shot, 6 1/4" group...
at 1,000 yards...
in wind...
which left me with a wicked smile. ;)
Mission accomplished.
... anxious to see my kitty... - c

Looks like it was fun!
As a teenager, I did the Wimbledon at the National Rifle Matches. M-14 was the rifle of the day. Top California Junior.
I absolutely salivated looking at that video of the Mudhens shooting for score.
61/4" at 1000 yards? You keep impressing me, C.
