Its a windy bitch today and an absolute ring fest. I've lost count of all the ringers. Everything from a 6mm BR up to 7mm-08 has been ringing them. I don't know is any .308s have rung any rams. Tough ass conditions today. Tomorrow is supposed to be nice.

Thanks for the update Trent. I know it will be a hard job, but try to keep the boys in line. Wish I could be there.

Trent, forget trying to keep the boys in line, give 'em all the booze they'll drink, and relax man, you will not have to count ringers tomorrow!

Conditions today's are amazing. Should see some nice scores posted today. Almost done with Standard gun. Only a couple Rams rung so far. One with a 6br and another with a 7-08 I think. Could be more but I can't watch all the time, I gotta shoot too.

Most everyone is flying out tonight. I have to fly out tomorrow since I can't catch the last flight of the day to the east coast. I have some business to take care of tomorrow anyway.
The fair weather did nothing to help my scores today. I have a wild trigger flinch that I need to work on before Pe Ell in two weeks. Dave Bonner and Kyle Monares are about to shoot off for aggregate match winner in Hunter.
Bonner and Lee Oneil tied with a 33 this morning and had a great shoot off earlier for Standard rifle that went seven turkeys deep until Lee broke a shot just over the back of his seventh turkey.

David Bonner doubled up with both Hunter and Standard rifles for aggregate wins. The man is a machine. Cool as a cucumber.
McAlice didn't win diddly squat. I was there for morale cause I couldn't buy a turkey... I tried.

It was awesome seeing all my Colorado buds. I have to thank Jim H. for putting on a fantastic match every year and for his lovely wife working so hard to keep us all in order and feed us yummy homemade treats. Also, there is a small army of people that pitch in so that we can all mindlessly (I wish) bang away at little steel animals, I'd like to thank them as well.
I have lots of extra room in my suitcase. I guess I didn't need to save any room for trophies. Haha!

Only got to shoot on Sunday, but had a great time. I was telling Lee that it had been awhile since I have seen a shoot off go that distance. Thanks for everyone that helped put the match together and for everyone else that showed up to shoot it!

Did not win diddily squat? HA!...my door prize was a bottle of my favorite bore cleaner, Montana Extreme.
And for the record I only rang one ram with my 7-08 and a 168MK to the center butt. Should have gone...but.
