Thank you Rich and Henry for running the day- had a good time with the COF.

Phil, here you go. Broomsticks.

I have learned from experience that anything you leave at Angeles should be considered lost.
Whoever finds the stuff seems to keep it rather than turn it into the office.
We lost radios and flashlights after our night match.

Thanks Rich and Henry for running a very enjoyable match. I had a great time and can't wait for the next one.

Great match Rich & Henry!

I was there with Aaron too 3:00 but we only saw the mat.
Losing the chronograph sucks. Maybe now you have an excuse to get the new LabRadar...

Thanks for posting the COF I asked for. Were there two pages or one? You posted the same image twice. Thanks. EDIT: Wow.....great minds.....you changed it...thanks. I posted this, went back and you'd changed it already.


Evin I'm sorry about your MagnetoSpeed man. That sucks. With so many people there it is not surprising someone in the crowd is enough of an A-hole they would steal someone else's stuff. I hate leaving my rifle when I go hit the head...especially when I shoot alone.

Do they have any cameras there? Was your kit marked at all?

I was there probably till 2:45 but I don't remember seeing another MagnetoSpeed other than the one I brought. That sucks. Hopefully somebody you know picked it up.

Awesome COF Rich. Definitely would have liked a run at it! Good job everyone and even though I couldn't make it thanks you to all the match organisers for stepping up to keep this sport going!

Angeles, does have cameras if you're willing to check video and cross check the thief when they checked in.

Looks like a really fun match. Sorry I missed it.

Congrats to the top guns too. I think it's awesome that Danny is shooting .308.

Was my first time as co-match director and I want to thank Rich C. for the opportunity and also for his infinite patience.
A BIG THANK YOU to the shooters that stepped up to spot & help during the stages.

John,

That's the plan to use 308 for local and my 6cm for big match

You are actually doing yourself a disservice by doing that.

Shoot ONE cartridge with ONE load at ALL times.
You want to be so used-to a cartridge that you know your dope and wind calls without needing to look at a card or electronic device.
There is a HUGE value in being that familiar with your gun at a match.
Much more value than the extra cost of wearing out a barrel faster.
Remember that 6mm bullets are cheaper than 30 caliber bullets so the cost of wear on the barrel is about the same between the two different cartridges.

By switching back and forth between different cartridges, you won't get to that same level of memory.

What you do is rebarrel the 308 into a 6 creedmoor and then shoot one GUN for local matches and save the other gun for big matches.

Totally agreed with you on this. I experienced once this year at AZ match, I was using 6.5cm for local and switch to 6cm right before AZ match, it threw me off a little with lighter recoil.

I am currently using my AXMC so it would be the same platform for both calibers. I still need to familiarize with the rifle. I will be switching back and forth between caliber and try to learn both cartridge. Thanks for the advise, Randall.
