my first official shoot

[nipper]

i finally made it to my first match at macon county gun club, friday was "practice" day, got help from another shooter, used 1 oz thru 6 oz weights on tuner first , all were in incerments of 1 oz ,turns out mine had a 3 oz weight, but 5 oz did the trick, so i saw the results thru a spotting scope. then we used the increments on the tuner itself to "fine" tune and i am more than satisfied my gun is tuned for the lot of eley i am shooting now, a fellow shooter loaned me a sporter to use, so now i am looking for a sporter action and spotting scope and stand....................they also were shooting today,but i had another commitment,but i am headed to jacksonville florida later on this month as well.....also i learned you want to use the tuner to take out up and down stringing which i also saw on paper. also picked up a tip that lowes and home depot and etc. have a small 4.00 horizontal/ verticle level that i now have on my farley rest to level it, which i was not doing before.. also was informed i might want to consider lowering my drummers throne a little,which i did and was way more comfortable. lets just say most of you will see me at shoots in the future. i saw some real good shooters and payed attention too lol.

Enjoy it. I've only been shooting competition for two years at local matches, but really having fun. So far I've been shooting "factory rifles" with tuners and 36X scopes. I didn't want to start out spending a huge amount of money until I was certain I would stay at it. Now the 40X is in for trueing up and a new Benchmark barrel. I guess I'm addicted now!

well another one got hooked!! this year was my first year. i learned alot from a bunch of great shooters. you'll find that the people in our sport are really great people and will help you if they can.

i'll more than likely have a ton of money in my 2 rifles before next season. i have extra new barrels that i'll be using if one doesn't shoot like i believe it should. i'm going to order a few more later on. i want to try out a lilja 4 groove tight bore barrel. mt 4 groove shilen ratchet barrel arrived at my door today. i want a few other companies barrels as well.

i'm going to try out the rva tuner as well.

there is some much to try and so much to play with. god what a great sport.

you'll find out in a year that your never ganna be happy shooting anymore until you are shooting better than you did last match. it's not about beating everybody else. it is about beating yourself(at least it is for me).

man this sport is great!!!!
