Shooters
Last Sunday the URSA held its first NorCal match in the rugged terrain of the Mendocino National Forest. Most shooters shot prone with bipods and one shooter used a portable shooting bench.
The Match was held at 2050 yards and after the match half of the shooters drove to the 2500 yard range and continued shooting.
The King Of 2050 Yards is Shaun Brady shooting a 300 Winchester Magnum he chambered up himself shooting 230 grain Berger bullets at 2850 fps. His rifle was well tuned and Shaun showed the rest of us just how it is done. He set the lights off 5 times out of ten shots and made it look easy.
Congratulations Shaun you are the shooter to beat.
In second place was Pablo or Skeeter for those on Calguns who was shooting a 338 Lapua he chambered up a week before the match on a BAT repeater action. Pablo made two consecutive hits in practice and everyone thought he would do well. It was my first time meeting Skeeter and a nicer guy you couldn't find. Congratulation Skeeter.
In third place shooting Big Red was yours truly Lynn Jr. I shot poorly but managed to squeak into third place using my Dierks built 50 BMG on a single shot McMillan action.
We only had one shooter not hit the gong at 2000 yards but he missed it by less than a foot on six shots. He ran out of scope elevation so we put 8 pieces of Pepsi can under his base and got him within inches of the gong. I am positive he will be tough to beat once he gets his new base as he completely encircled the gong.
Shaun our match winner was using the smallest chambering and made 50% of his shots hit the gong. He was well prepared and was shooting a well tuned rifle.
50% hits at 2000 yards prone with a bipod has me wondering how we are going to beat him at our next match?
Shaun You put on a clinic and I tip my hat to you. You are The King of 2050 Yards.
