Rayners April 1000 yards match results

Thought I'd post the results here since 3 of the top 5 scores were shot with Savage rifles. This was my sons 3rd match with his new Savage 260 build and all three matches have had over a 300 score. Fun when you can keep up with and even beat those customs with a pretty much stock rifle. I might shoot my new 260 Savage mod 11 rifle next month but been enjoying shooting a handgun at those distances.

Bad weather kept away some shooters this month but still a pretty fair turnout with about 50 shooters braving the rain on Saturday and wind on Sunday. Still some good scores were shot so it shows it's getting tougher to finish near the top now.

Congratulations to Joe Wesley for his win with a 375. Seen a few new shooters this month which is great. Ya gotta come out to get your feet wet and get started. Great group of shooters to spend the day with and hearing that distant "ding" with a hit is gonna put a smile on your face.

Another month that my son beat me ... but I'm working on it. :D

Here is a short video showing the targets that are shot at Rayners during a match. Starting from the bench view then zooming out to show a closeup of the target then a hit.
