High Power Shooting Competition


Well you can't go fishing everyday so today I went to the range for a high power shooting competition. There were about 30 guys competing in the 100 yard match. I did very well and won first place in the Master classification shooting a service rifle. We were using a 308 M1A.

I started out real well and then I lost some points at the end. Either way I still won the match. I enjoy the shooting competition because it helps maintain my marksmanship capability.

My opinion is that this should be a universal skill. When Americans grew up in a rural setting this was a natural ability. It was not just for sport it was a matter of survival for some people.

I am looking forward to the next match.
