Very Nice job, Sobrbiker. Was this done with a new rifle?

Thanks JB, couldn't have gotten anywhere without the help of the gaggle of good shooters we have here in the Phx area including yourself.
Congrats on the Match Winner placement to you as well.
-Jim took the match after a 4 shot shootoff on Turkeys (edited to remove my prior misinformation).
This is a great game, populated by really good folks.

Jetmugg-It was. I'm really starting to settle in with my EMcD 1712. First match was disappointing (underestimated the cold as well as new to the rifle), second match was an inconsistent 4 40rd aggregate, and my third match with it (today) really felt good. (29SBHR and 28SBR out of 60rd). I missed AA scores by a hair, but I'll take high A scores for now!

Good job, Steve. You're fortunate to have a great bunch to shoot with out there. Steel sharpens steel....Your learning curve should be steep......Most likely you would have shot 4 or 5 better on the agg if you had powdercoated rings

Steve, you meant to say Cathy Winstead-Severin was there in Phoenix shooting with you guys?

Tony, I think Steve meant 1st Place Master, Rose Jr. Wasn't in Phoenix, but in Mesa.

That's it, 1st PL Master from the Nationals......sorry.

Thanks Kitty-the rings are powdercoated, black. However if I can find an orange to black fade T24 I'll bet I'd skip AA and go straight to AAA!

Steve,

Great shooting man! You just had to get an Evelio special, then right out of the box go and raise the bar. This is going to be a great year and it will be even better if they ever fix the I17 over pass.

Excellent shooting there Steve. No doubt that the new rifle helped, but you still did the work. Sorry I missed it. Not sorry I'm not around for the traffic while they build that section at Carefree Hwy though.
