Thanks again crew, good match, high turnout, 65 shooters, My squad had 15 shooters, which at least 6 were newbies, and we like newbies

but newbies take extra care when being a range officer ( which I am ) and especially with steel targets, extra ammunition. Todays match was not a good newbie match, one stage with very small targets, I wish I had brought my camera, and some medium range shots, which most people don't shoot during routine practice. For those of you who don't shoot steel in competition, the main problem is an overwhelming DESIRE, to see your hits on the steel, that is contradictory to the fundamentals of shooting, if you can see your hits, then it is impossible for you to be focusing on the front sight. Some optics will allow you to see your impact, but that means your waiting for verification before you go to the next target.
Long story short, arrived at 8:55am, started match at 9:30, steel match over at 4pm. long day, next .22rf carbine match, over at 6:45pm, not shooting in the dark, but putting up steel and target stands in the dark. The .22 match director was so pooped, as was I , that we did not tabulate the scores, everyone just went home. Scores to come later.
I did get to meet a fellow DRTV member

, Shadowboxer, who heads the DFW action shooters etc.. club, which is very cool, it first is a social club that meets outside of the range, and then cuss and discuss matches or just venues they can meet and shoot at. Like minded people meeting and enjoying a common sport. I like it, He and his lady did well shooting their .22's in the steel match, until the screw came off the rear sight base

, which explained how well they were shooting, and suddenly went to sh_t. They had to leave early, not because of the failure.
How did I do? 7th overall, 1st in open revolver, A step up from 9th overall last time, but still much improvement to be made.
In the .22 carbine match, I think maybe 1st, but could be 2nd or 3rd, don't know until the times are tabulated, I almost stayed and added the times up myself, but it was definitely MILLER time.
Thanks again DRTV crew and RANGERS.
