Don't worry we will be complaining about how cold it is over any "gaming" of the match.... Suppose to be cold so bundle up.....

Far better, learn where to hold!

I spent a couple of hours on the range yesterday doing just that.

Florescent orange birds stand out well enough, but it is tough to figure how high to hold over them. My AR shoots one in low at 25 yds, but 2.25 in low at 10 yds with a 50 yd zero. This can make a big difference on a small target.

This was very embarrassing at the last HSC match.... I have shot AR from 50-600 yards but NEVER at less than 5 yards. There was a target on stage 4 with only a "head shot" availible. I felt like and idiot as I must have shot it 6 times trying to figure out if I hit it or not

It's simple, use the 300 yard dot!

True, it's incredibly inefficient to set your gun up differently for every match. And then your hold over/unders are never automatic.

That makes one of us!

Ammo is too expensive for that crap

Ammo is too expensive for that crap

Spoken like a true fiscal conservative. I used my 22 LR AR which is zeroed just like the match 223. 22 LR is still cheaper than .308, I think.

Maybe so, but I can get .308!

Not much

I just put all of my 308 in a safety deposit box. I plan on leaving it as part of my estate.

I hear you. I zero my AR at 50 yds which also puts you on at 200 yds, a commonly used zero. At 25 yds you are one in low, 15 yds two in low, and 10 yds 2.25 in low. This can make tight shots at close range difficult, particularly when the target is just over two in in diameter.

I have SR primers in mine

You showing up tomorrow? I'm sick of dragging that motor all over eastern Massachusetts. Don't leave without it.

 

[SJan]

Going to be a wee bit chilly.

Need to use the barrel heat to keep our hands warm!

Thanks, see you tomorrow.

That does sound incredibly inefficient!

You solve this problem by setting up a gun for each range you're going to compete at.
