Believe me it happens alotLooks like it might just be me... most of my crew has bailed on me... other commitments. Bastards with misguided priorities.![]()
That depends really, over cast that bull gets bigger!Temps will be 62-72. Cloudy but who knows if bright cloudy or dark cloudy. A better day to beat our usual winner if it's dark.
That sucksI had a f***ing squib after only 9 shots. Couldn't get it out so I was done.![]()
Bookmarked it! Where can we eventually find our scores?

I didn’t do too shabby. I got one X and was in the black a good amount for the prone shots. A few made it off the reservation on the standing shots and the rapid fire though. But seeing the enbloc clip fly out after the rapid fire shots was totally cool.once Rich does his bookkeeping, they'll show up here: CMP Club & Competition Tracker | Dashboard
how'd you do?
Nice work on those...
I did not know the Jr rifle team would be there, have not seen that many young shooters in some time.Nice work on those...![]()

Was very nice to meet @Rocco Mozz who is a great guy and shot well yesterday. Another solid new guy was a young Marine who shot very well despite using iron sights for the first time.

sad I wasn't there to bust his balls![]()
believe it or not, they were actually phasing in 'optic only' platoons as a test run about 2 weeks after I got to Parris Island. I remember seeing at the turds at the chow hall with their shiny new ACOG's. My dick never felt bigger after realizing that we were literally one of the last company's ever to go through training without an optic attached to our rifles.
Really glad things turned out that way and not the other way around. I'm currently trying to figure out the 'optic side' of things, but got some world class iron sight training compliments of the american tax payer (so, thank all you guys for that).
Full choke, thats a good oneInteresting to hear a firsthand account of the optics only training regimen. He shot slow prone extremely well. Shots opened up a bit for his rapid and Franco said, "That's OK, next time we'll use the full choke." LOL
Because cmp is still 95% old cranky f***sAt least the USMC seems to be pounding in some solid technique, which translates well back to irons. If it were my call, I'd still teach irons first to 'force' solid technique, then move to optics. Additionally, if my life depended on it I'd want BUIS's even with those taxpayer funded uber expensive VCOG's. No idea if the various services provide back up sights.

Which brings me back to CMP- If those now leaving the service or jumping out of a full time gig for the reserves have never laid hands on a rifle with iron sights, why in f-ing hell did CMP take away optics from Modern Military? Blows my mind. Guess I'm getting along the Italian Stallion road to full blown cranky...
sorry those home made jobs did not work for you. Maybe we can get a group buy going and have a pro come to the match and do some for us?My Croakies wouldn't fit over the shooting glasses I used. Had to hold the glasses up with my thumb to see the target.![]()
Had do it yourself ear plugs from Amazon I made up but they wouldn't stay in...ended up using a copy of those orange band things Hickok45 uses in his videos and they worked well enough if I wore them over my head...
Had a great time as usual, nice to see everyone!
