It was a great day. A good group of people showed up for the shoot as well. Tina had plenty of time to hang out take pictures and read. She enjoys shooting but she's not interested in High Power.(yet
) I'm hoping she'll try the beginners reduced course at Scarborough next year. The weight of the rifle & pressure of the match don't really interest her.Lynne, A belated Happy Anniversary to you as well!

Next year I'll give everybody enough warning for the match in Maine. It will be a good time. It's a perfect environment for new shooters to the sport. And after we can all you know drink sodas and stuff.
The competition part doesnt even matter. It's all about the fun and companionship. It litterally was one of the best weekends I had this summer.

The biggest reason I lost interest in Bench Rest was that the Experimenters were almost all gone. I was one, but I kept seeing guys that bought there rifles, someone else figured out the load, and they were only interested in winning.
The comraderie is probably the biggest attraction for me. I go to a machine gun shoot every year, and some of us locals get together to shoot (not compete, just shoot) a couple of times a year. Fun times.
Chris, Yes it is the same 20 rounds for score with 2 sighters X 3 relays.
nothing but 600yd. I hope to have my SR upper by then so I'll be getting the dope on it. I may also shoot F class. Sounds like I might see you up there on the 24th.

How long a ride is Hampden? I see on the map it's just this side of Bangor. I'm thinking it would be fun to give it a try myself. I'm used to running down to northern Va and upstate NY for shoots, so it can't be too bad in comparison.
I just hit the 8 week mark as far as waiting for my match upper to get here.
Everything else is all set and ready to go. This has gotta be the longest 8 weeks of my life.

So, I gotta figure it's a wee bit shorter coming from the south shore. It takes me maybe 40-45 minutes to get up to 128 north of Boston.
Of course, I'm not going anywhere till my upper gets here.

I've skirmished (Civil War blackpowdah competition) in Saratoga, Westerlo, and Middletown NY. Saratoga I can do in 4 hours easy. Middletown is little bit more of a jaunt; 4 1/2 to 5 hours.
I've got friends who shoot HP out at Camp Smith, but I've never been there.
