Hey guys,

In to help.

New guy here just starting with precision rifle (lots of handgun, but zero long gun experience.) Scope is on order so no shooting for me, but would like to hang out and help while seeing what goes on at a match. More than happy to do whatever would be useful.

Awesome, John! I'm only 9 months into this myself, and the best way to learn is to come out & ask a LOT of questions. The club has a great bunch of folks with a lot of experience, more than happy to share their knowledge, so don't be shy! Hopefully you'll get your gear together and start shooting soon

ETA: What scope did you order?

Thanks Darren. I ordered a NF ATACR 5-25 F1. Due to ship on Aug 20. More scope than I know what to do with and more than I wanted to spend, but everything I read said buy once cry once and don't skimp on optics. I hope to grow into it skill wise and have the freedom to put it on a longer range caliber someday.

I had been saving for a nice 1911 for a while but decided I'd rather try something new than put another .45 in the rotation. So I went all in with a new .308 and scope.

Nice scope...I think most folks will tell you that you chose wisely. Which reticle did you get?

I am in. This is my first precision rifle match. I shoot pistol match before and shoot my 308 at Angeles every month.

13 shooters... should be a good match... John Lee, Michael Victor

I have a newbie question. If I bring two rifles to the match. Can I use different rifle for different stages?

Sorry, guys, but I am out for this Sunday. Family duties.

You should plan to shoot the same rifle all day long.

Not sure if I can make it. But if I do, I'll be rocking my .308

Jennifer and I are in to shoot!

I am out on this one guys.

In to shoot and help if still available spot

We could really use a few more dedicated spotters or range officers to make the day move along.
When we planned the COF, there were only 6 RSVP's so the COF got planned with lots of single-shooter stages.
Now that there are 16 shooters, I had to redesign the COF to break into two groups to get through the match in a timely manner.
This leaves us short on line crew and dedicated spotters.

Randall, I will bring my scope and tripod to help out anywhere I can.

Thanks Randall for reaching out... I'll see you in the morning to help out.

I'll be there to help.

In to shoot and help.

i can help

Happy with my 4th place tie with Solo today. Great shooting and most of all great help with the match today.

That was probably the smoothest match I've attended at CAPRC!

Brad, Randall, the spotters, and RO's.....many thanks! Had a great time today!

Thanks Randall and Brad- as always a good time!

A BIG THANK YOU to: Randall, Brad and all the other spotters and helpers. Another good match, taking us out of our comfort zone. Keep them coming!

Thanks Randall, brad, Henry Garay, and Mike S. Always good seeing everyone. Congrats to the top 3.

I had a great time watching. Thanks for letting me lurk around.

I would have had more fun shooting, but I did learn a bunch:

1. COF was way more challenging than I expected. I don't know what I expected, but it probably involved a lot more laying on my gut.
2. I need to find a way to get a Detach. Mag in my rifle given all the positional changes and 10 rnd stages.
3. Way more accessory gear than I imagined for shooting positional stuff (bags, slings, etc)


Hope to have my gear set up next month and give it a try.

Fun match... Nice seeing some old faces.... don't be a stranger guys...

Did anyone get a picture of the score sheet?

You can always borrow gear from one of us if needed. Also go on http://www.ShortActionPrecition.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Rich and Nathan sell all the gear we use for matches.

Thank you for coming out. Some comments to your comments:

1. Since it's a Square Range, the Match Directors (MD's) need to doing something different to build difficulty in. And there is F-Class for belly bench crowd.
2. What kind of rifle do you have? I probably have something to set you up with a DBM.
3. Don't be a gear whore. Get a good sling and a couple different bags then work on building your basic positional skills. There was an EXPLOSION of different bags and packs the last 3-4 years from shooters looking for that edge in Big Matches. Club matches are about building skills, not just trying to win. You'll pick up stuff as you go.

Get out and compete. Don't wait until you're ready; if you do that you'll never be. It's not about where you finish. You are only trying to improve yourself.

Amen....

This. After attending the clinics I knew I needed a several months (at least) of practice and some equipment upgrades before jumping into a match. But participating in a match is much better practice than any range day could be because of the courses of fire and the people.

Thanks to all who put together and worked yesterday's match, and congrats to Henry on the win!

Thanks for the advice. What I have so far: Rem 700 .308 with the factory installed H-S Precision stock, bipod, basic small rear bag, and the scope due in soon. That seemed good enough to jump in with. The DBM is the only other "must have" I came away from Sunday with.

I was looking at the HS DBM this morning because of the minimal fitting required. I can do minor inletting work, but not set up or skilled enough to do anything major.

Agree with just jumping in and getting experience. Hopefully next month.

Haha you must have seen me fiddling around with single loading. I ordered a DBM setup last week.

Some relatively inexpensive improvements that were suggested when I attended the clinics were a bipod lock (if you have a swivel model) and a muzzle brake.

Helping Mike get the top 308

That's just wrong.....
