Sep Report - We had 8 shooters today, including: Jenna Scott, shooting her second BR match (she won the first match she shot — last week at Elberton, with a 250-21x, but I'm not sure I remember the x count correctly). Thanks for shooting with us and come again every chance you get. The...

I wonder why painting the stock is not allowed in factory class.

If you're not required to shoot the bulls in numerical order (starting at # one), that tie-breaker rule seems pretty weird.

That's what I first thought, but then I thought "missed what?" Missed the "X"? On his second target, Brian Volker missed # 18, but he only got 15 Xs — so that didn't make sense. Missed the "10 ring"? On his third target, Merv Langkamp had a 250, but he missed # 2; so that didn't make sense...

What does the FM column on score sheet represent?

:)

Do we need to furnish eye protection for the pit crew?

Aug Report - We had seven shooters today. The weather was nice; about 72° when we started and 90° when we finished. Partial results -- 100 yard aggs: 1. Scott Dittman - 250-22x 2. Joe Bougard - 250-20x 3. Zane Athey - 250-18x (6mm) Partial results -- 200 yard aggs: 1. Zane Athey - 250-7x...

As I recall, Gene Bukys recommended locking the tuner in one position (I guess chosen based on testing) and adjusting the powder, rather than adjusting the tuner. If my recollection is correct, I wonder why his recommendation seems inconsistent with somewhat frequent adjusting. If my...

Agreed.

Maybe that's why some of my shots don't go where I want 'em to go. :unsure:

Is that because of less recoil?

Lee, thank for your detailed analysis that covers approx. 23 years. I did a quick Google search of starting salaries and found this >>> https://www.naceweb.org/job-market/compensation/salary-trends-through-salary-survey-a-historical-perspective-on-starting-salaries-for-new-college-graduates/...

Jul Report - We had 12 shooters today (tied for the most we've had at a club match in almost six years), including: (a) four guys from out-of-state: Keith Hansley (from NC, shooting his first club match at River Bend), long-absent: (i) Steve Hill (from SC), (ii) David McDowell (from AL), and...

My solution to that obstacle is to not worry about being competitive; just enjoy shooting — and wondering what caused the bullet to go where it did.

Jim, regarding the above, maybe match attendance will rebound — don't know when, though. Here's why I say that, apparently sometime around the 60s the atmosphere became "family-friendly," and sometime around the mid-70s the match attendance increased. If those assumptions are valid, I wonder...

That prompted me to reach out again to the one guy who did not respond to my previous contact. I plan to reach out to several other guys who have not posted here in a while. It would be GREAT to see some of the previous posters here again. :)

Mike, I share your hope about the site growing, but I'm not optimistic about it getting back "to where it once was." I've reached out to a few guys who haven't posted here in a long time, letting them know that I'd enjoy seeing them post again. One previously-posted comment that prompted me to...
