Perhaps the second most difficult match in the GTA !!!! You Competitors have done very well !!!

Remember ! Take three or four Breaths between shots, shoot your match when you will not be distracted, and take your time. You can never recall a shot taken ! And Boy! I sure wish I could sometime :)

I wish you all the BEST in this weeks Matches ! - Bill

SHOOT SAFE !, SHOOT WELL !, SHOOT 10's OFTEN !!!!!

Ya , I  was in the mood yesterday, only shot that one target at 25 and was quite pleased:). I really wish I had more time and  I could shoot all day!  I am still after that 150 mark  as I know you are too:)  This is such a fun match to me, the Ol' iron sight bug has got me... in fact it reminds me of my early AG days of 35 to 40 years back, before scopes hehe:)  hoping more will try this very challenging match, Tony.

It takes me back to camp and the .22 I used to shoot as a kid... 25 - 30 years ago.  50', 5 shots, open and peep sights (whichever you managed to get).  Twice I pulled a 50 / 50, two of the best days of my childhood.  If I hit that 150, it'll be a damn good adult day, boy howdy!  I'm sitting on a 135 for this week right now, I won't be happy till I get at least a 140 and I'm not putting my scope on till that happens either.  This is my one 'must shoot' match every week.

I'd like to see some more challengers as well.  With all those rifles out there, there have to be more than three with open sights floating around.

Best I could do.  Didn't try a single other match. Shot this one 7 -8 times?  Good news, some real nice groups before I got tired.  Bad news, I now know what I'm capable of and anything less just won't cut it!  :)

Ok boys and gals....last posting to this thread.....next week all the matches will have their own forum......much easier for the participants to get track off.

Just managed to get to the 50% mark.....not too impressed with myself.....but only got 1 zero, so I'm grateful for that.
