I didn't stay for the 200 yard match but had a great time shooting. It's been a long time! My rifle shot pretty good and it didn't seem be broken nearly as bad as I thought. I realized that I couldn't make it through the 200 yard match and headed for home...a scant 120 miles. I did have a choice though....shoot the 200 and stay another night in Gallatin or just go home. This time I chose to go home!
Here's the deal. It was just like any other sanctioned match except the rules are fewer....much fewer. The folks there were very helpful, the match director was a dream (Rick Fox), and the chili was outstanding. I didn't just say any of those things to be nice...all true...especially the chili.
I had a really, really good time!!
I'll go back for more and plan to stay longer....set out some windflags maybe... My score doesn't indicate that as a threat of any kind but it's somewhat different shooting without them. Perhaps I woulda done a little better if I had flags in front of me instead of several benches to the right. Perhaps not!! I did have wind flags but couldn't see them when the car trunk was closed.
