What type of competition do you shoot, gun and caliber? I compete High Power Rifle Mid Range (500yd) F-TR Class. Next match is July 10th.Thanks! Yeah, it's the dominant eye...Good thing they heal fast once you get the crud out... I'm stoked for the match in Puyallup this weekend, it's going to be the royal deluxe in terms of COF setup and loot! I have only two competitors in my division, so I can only drop as low as third unless I drop my gun mid-stage.
Right now I'm shooting IDPA pistol, and I have a uncommon ability to clean targets in the BUG division, which is why I have only 5 competitors out of 150, with just 2 others in my class. After this match, I'm going to give PRS a try, it's kinda new and fairly popular. My true love for the sport is NRA highpower long range. I also like F open and F/TR very much. I was very active in Reno before I went back overseas for a 7-year haul, but I haven't blown the dust off since I've been back because access to long range sucks from the peninsula where I live in spite of several good ranges is the greater area. If I can work out the logistics, I'd be back on my bolt guns in a heartbeat (or as long as my last pound of Varget lasts). Highpower I shoot a Krieger-built Eliseo tube gun in 6mmBR, and F-class I use a PSS in .308 for 600. It's tough to keep the second one supersonic at 1000. I've also started to take interest in 20 caliber because of the short ranges nearby. I need something that reacts to wind in order to get my thrill, because there is no challenge to punching holes at 200 with a laser. Anyway, my wife has been supportive of me getting back into the sport, so I've been trying to take advantage of that.
The small Jacob’s chuck (NOS) was gummed up when I got it with other items and I cleaned lubed it. Never been used to my knowledge. The high strength bolts came from the estate of a famous drag racer and spectacular fabricator.
