Got back from the first trip to Camp Perry this year, I am making two vacations out of it this year. Son and I shot the individual (NTI) and I shot the Hearst doubles with me shootin buddy. First time shooting the individual. My goal was to break the 50% mark and I didnt make it. Each position is 10 shots with a possible 100 except for 600yds which is 2 10 shot strings totaled. Shot a 85 offhand which is about 6 off my avg, 95 sitting rapid (both at 200) which is about norm for me, 97 prone rapid (@300) about norm, and then missed the wind calls at 600. Shot a miss first and a 79 for the first 10 which is about 10 points under norm, and a 91 for the second 10 which is about avg.
It helped that a cute little 14 y/o girl shooting on the next firing point was cleaning my clock to.
Lots of juniors and a lot of ladies.
In the Hearst it is a team match where you pair fire, 2 shooters on the same target for the slow fire stages, Slow offhand at 200, rapid prone at 300 and slow prone at 600. I choked again even worse offhand. A 83. Took 6 shots to pull my head out and then I shot 3 - 10's and a 9. I then shot the best group at 300 rapid I ever have. Easily covered by a large baked bean can lid ....... right where I bumped my windage to about 10 inches right. 2 - 8's and 8 sevens. Scoring ring is about 2 inches wide. 600 was nothing to write home about either.
However, the individual wasnt awful, for me, and I learned a lot about reading wind and doping the sights to correspond.
Headed back Sun to shoot old iron with all of the kids. Nice short range 200 yd stuff on Sun and 300 and 600 fun match with big bullets on Mon.
