No words, but WOW!!
Most remarkable, and USNAVYCHIEF (RET) did it 250 with a bolt action! He had been psyched for this for weeks. Well done BeSwift! Congratulations to all the shooters, but especially those 250 and distinguished.
Now that is amazing. Absolutely.
Curious - my best was a 248. Some flyers took me out of the running. Not real bad flyers but just enough to lose some points.
I've only seen a handful of 250s and all were using match ammo. Which to me has a ridiculous price. Too ridiculous to make me want to buy it. Heck I'm happy anytime I can get in the 240s.
So the question is - were they using standard ammo or match grade? What type of rifles? Custom or stock?
Shooter 1: Tikka super high dollar bolt action, with SK match ammo
Shooter 2: Moderately upgraded 10/22 (nothing crazy) with CCI Standard ammo
Shooter 3: AR with dedicated 22LR Upper, but set up like a service competition rifle (weights, etc) Also CCI Standard ammo
All were HP rifle competitors, so very experienced shooters... All shot a number of 248-249 just about all day long until they got bored and changed to Springfield 1922's for fun...
All were running optics... (as were all prior 250's in MD)...

Beswift,
Amazing shoot, more importantly, what an easy shoot to score targets. ;D ;D
Well done sir.

It was truly an honor and privilege to spend two days on the line with these amazing shooters. As an IIT, I truly appreciate how easy they made scoring for us, and seeing multiple perfect scores shot was eye opening.

Huzzah!
Outstanding!
Great shooting everyone.
I would have loved to have been there to see these great scores.
HUZZAH!
That's pretty darned impressive! Of course, if you throw a Navy Chief a bolt gun and he'll know what to do with it!
Wow! Great shooting!
WOW!
:yeahthat:
Damn. I just make Riflemen. You make super Riflemen. SMH.

I'm pretty sure I had very little to do with it... Maybe helped guide a few non-250 shooters to get over the hump....
Well done to all involved, both the shooters and instructors!
I'm very impressed! Great work! Congratulations!
Outstanding! :bow:
Yes, sir! Well done, all!

WOW !!!!! That is an instructors dream.
This instructor's dream is to take someone who has never fired a rifle to >210, but maybe that's just me ¯\_(ãƒ,,)_/¯
Very impressive!
Very impressive, I would like to shoot with such impressive Riflemen!
Outstanding! Did you have enough orange hats to go around? ;)
