I got my first stage win in my second contest ever.
I was shooting a Model 12LRP in 6.5 Creedmoor, SWFA SS 5-20x50HD scope with 140gr ELD Match factory ammo.
The layout was 20 targets at random ranges from 280yds - 604yds, 20rds in 10 min off a 36" tall barricade. I scored 15 out of 20.

I can't wait for the next comp!!!!
Until then I'm training, training, training!!!

If you have any hesitation at all about competing, don't. Local matches are so much fun!
