Great job Taylor and many thanks to Martin, RustyRed, Dicey, Crash and zamboni_driver for a good, amusing and safe shoot.  This was my third AS and as usual it was a great time.  ( with the usual moments of "forehead slapping" as I still gloss over one of the steps for a good shot).  This one might have seemed a bit more fun as I finally qualified, 3 times  ^:)^   

At this age I should not be surprised but....practice is the key.  If I want to be consistent, I need to practice. And practice right.  I just missed qualifying at Gordon.  One point off due to a fail to fire.  Had to wait it out.  I am soooo glad it worked that way.  Made me determined to get it right. I realize it is not all about "the Patch".  Still, I felt it was a hurdle I had to get over.

Rob, thanks for the tip on the ammo, and for the moral support (whether you knew it or not) as I worked on getting all the pieces put together.  Good company.  Oh, the secret ammo is CCI MiniMags.  Tho , as always, your results may vary.

Less wind next time?  Those dancing targets gave new meaning to the phrase "rifleman's dance".

And Martin, good advice on the sights.  I never did adjust them.

Hah...I should never type anything on less than a full pot of coffee.

Congrats John, nice shooting.  I believe you also had the "benefit" of dancing targets?

and to Paul, congrats on IIT3.

Rob, great score, how many rifles is this now?

I have one regret.  I never did find an "artifact" from an opposing clan.

I would like to do a KD shoot sometime but rimfire is nice.  I still had enough money left over to get chicken when I got home.....

It was a great weekend!  Maybe a bit on the windy.  According to the KD presentation, the wind must have been at least 20 mph  ;)

Pictures from the first day..
