This match was ran very well. The stages were challenging and a lot of fun. I'll edit the posts above tomorrow with the target ranges and other info. I finished up 16th out of 48 shooters which wasn't to bad considering its a brand new range to me and the scenery is 100% different from desert type shooting.

Thanks to Upslidedown for taking the video footage.

Here's one more photo from stage 3:

Heck yeah brother! Had a blast out there, despite the 94* heat and gusty winds... Lol. Glad to have you out here man!

[LoneWolf]

Great times for sure look forward to getting back out there. Frontline Defense is a pretty nice facility!

[LongRange]

Nice shooting LW...lotta green stuff there...I'd be to distracted by the scenery...beautiful down there.

[LoneWolf]

For sure. It was the hardest part of the adjustment throughout the day!

What cartridge/yardage?

[LoneWolf]

243win. Shot 115 DTACs for part of the match and 105hybrids the other half. (my stock of DTACS ran dry). Shortest shot of the day was 159yds, longest shot 1000yds. Most were between 400-700yds. I would post the course of fire if I had internet, but I just don't have it yet at the new house.

Cool,looks like 0 recoil for a 243.

[LoneWolf]

Just about. Might come off .3-.5 Mils when in a solid position.

Mind you the rifle weighs in at 17lbs.

Been watching some of the videos.

PRS Rule 1.3.3 states:

All transitions and movements during a course of fire must be done withopen bolts and an empty chamber. An exception will be made for Semi-AutomaticRifles but only at the discretion and approval of the MatchDirector. If the MD does permit transitions and movements with a hot rifle,the weapon must be on safe; NO EXCEPTIONS.

I've yet to see a video of a competitor using a semi-auto rifle. Have you seen any in your matches and if so, how were the transitions/movements handled?

[LoneWolf]

A semi-auto must be placed on safe for every transition.

OK - so some shooter's do actually use them. I've just not seen any video and it seems that none of the high-placing shooters use one.

Do you think that's because of cartridge availability/choices, accuracy, something else???

[LoneWolf]

I'll try to get the score sheet posted. I placed 16th at this match and was beat by one gasser in 15th. I think bolt guns handle better and are easier to shoot in these matches.

Do you have any trouble getting solid rests with a 17 lb rifle? It doesn't look like you have a super long barrel, where does all the weight come in? You run the bolt like a f'ing master.

The matches look like a lot of fun, longrange has gotten into them locally. I would like to try but I pretty much need a new rifle. The movement and changes in stage add another element that make it look like a ton of fun.

The rifle I have now was built for single shot competitions. It could be converted, but not without spending some serious $$$ to get it to mag feed.
