Nov 23, 2024 - Recap of the URSA NorCal October '24 event (by RD, Lynn Dragoman; build info and notes from Oscar)
Shooters, we had 9 guns on the line Sunday morning to engage steel at 2147 yards for our first match. Some tricky winds and some shadowing made for a tough match.
RickyRacer87 got 5 hits with his 33XC to qualify for the match. Not to be outdone, Shaun Brady got 6 hits with his 300 Lapua, and Amanda got 4 hits with her 338 Lapua Ackley Improved.
During the match RickyRacer87 (Doug) and Shaun both got 4 more hits and Amanda, showing she should put on a shooting clinic, got 6 hits, scoring her third achievement point.
We moved out to 2600 yards and RickyRacer87 came out victorious with Amanda finishing one shot behind him for Runner-Up!!! Congratulations, Doug and Amanda on the good shooting and also on your recent engagement!!!!
We had time, and we had shooters, so we held a second match with a little less wind and a lot more sunshine. RickyRacer87, new shooter Steve with a Curtis Helton 375 CheyTac, and myself all qualified for the match and, once again, RickyRacer87, with his 33XC took home the win. New shooter Steve took home Runner-Up and he did it with only 7 shots!!! I think at the next match he'll bring more ammo.
After the match we shot out to 3311 yards and did some much-needed maintenance.
Congrats to Doug (RickyRacer87) on your 2 wins and also to Doug, Shaun, and Amanda who all qualified for the annual 3K Match to be held next April.
