URSA SoCal - Recap of the Jan 21 '18 Event
Recap of the SoCal Jan ‘18 event (by Lisa Chan, SoCal Scribe, and Facilitator)
We had our January shoot outside of Barstow in cold conditions with winds ranging from 4-8 mph throughout the day. TJ, Tu, Scott, Lisa, and Fred were in attendance along with a few curious spectators. It was a fantastic day for shooting as every shooter hit the target at 2,080 yards. There were 26 hits on the target at the end of the day between the 5 shooters! Tu, shooting prone, was the winner of the match shooting a Desert Tech HTI in .416 Barrett with NF ATACR scope, Ivey adjustable mount, and CEB 446 gr MTACs. Lisa, shooting from a bench, was the runner-up shooting a Savage model 12 LRP in 6.5 Creedmoor with NF Competition 15-55x52 scope, a 300 MOA Cold Shot adjaustable base, and 147 gr Hornady ELD-Ms. [A couple of pics in the Gallery. Sorry, Scott, no 3rd place. The Vegas crew missed the fun, they were at the ELRC World Record shoot.]

I wonder whether the 24” RPR in 6.5 can do the same or the 2 inch shorter barrel length makes a difference at this distance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Sure. Just wondering how much. Lisa effectively lowered the lower entry barrier of URSA. So far I have only seen big bores like 375, 416 etc so never planned to invest and play this game. Just read you guys’ post for fun. Now I am thinking may be guys with RPR can try too? Not any time soon for me anyways since my skills are not there yet. But your group can grow fast if guys with RPR all join. There are tons of RPR out there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

URSA SoCal, 7 June 2015 - "Notwithstanding everyone getting at least one hit during qualifications, the biggest surprise (really!) was Postal's brother getting two hits in each of the qualification rounds shooting...a 6mm Creedmoor."
Lisa (with her 6.5 Creedmoor) had 2 in 10 in December and then (Jan) qualified with 3 in 10. The challenge will be going out to the next distance, 2630. At some point physics takes over and the bullet just drops "like a rock". Not trying to be snobby, but URSA (very seriously) is about going further and further, not one-and-done/a novelty experience.
