30-Yard Challenge

[EPG]

Went to the range today. Nice warm temps, keep em' coming.

I had the RAW TM1000X .177 ( just cleaned barrel ) with me this morning. Wind was light and I just had my Randolph front mechanical rest cleaned and now have the horizontal windage knob actually 'working.' This is good because before it would not work and I would constantly pick up my rear Protektor bag and move horizontally from bull to bull. I knew this was inefficient but underestimated how problematic it is for getting adjusted for each shot. Now, I just use the knob and can move left or right across the row I am shooting.

Shot three 40Y Masters Cards and four 30Y Masters cards:

40Y Masters:

189-5X
192-8X
193-8X ( Will submit this for leaderboard in March )

30Y Masters

191-12X
194-12X
198-11X
199-15X ( Will submit this for leaderboard in March )

Thank you guys.

I believe the Randolph front mechanical rest really helps with my shooting technique. It does feel like ‘cheating’ because I really have the rifle locked down, but the Bench rest discipline is always evolving with new technology and accessories to enhance accuracy. All the major competition matches have adopted these technologies to improve their hand. Just look at the pics of equipment used at N50, RMAC, EBR, PA, etc.

At the same time, I have tremendous admiration for offhand, PRS, FT skills needed to be competitive. It’s all good and the variety is healthy for these hobbies.
