We were treated to a cold, blustery day. Gary Walker won it with his scoped 308 bolt gun with a 385-11X. I was first loser with 381-7X with my iron sight AR. Plenty of good shooters on the line whose butts were KICKED by that awful wind.

Breakfast afterward at the Harlan Cafe topped off a great shootin day....

How many minutes of wind?
Shooting 80s?

1/2 minute right to 1 1/4 left. If only I could have kept up with it... I shot two 8's, the rest were 9's.

I was shooting my 6mm AR with 105 Bergers.

Nice shootin' there, sloughfoot!

That 300 yard reduced target is tough. I've only had a chance to shoot it a couple of times at Wildcat.

Depending on your hold, the half right probably didn't hurt you unless you broke a shot on that side. The 1 1/4 left is another story.

Congrats on your finish. Good shooting.

The MR63 is a tough target. I cleaned it the first time ever at Wildcat in September. It felt real good......
