Got some news from Oak Ridge. It looks like a good match going on with tight scores.
Scores for cartridge and muzzleloaders. 600 yds was VERY sporty, wind wise. Targets are semi traditional SQUARES with a 4 pt max and an X ring. Having a blast.
Tomorrow 2 x 1000. One relay off of sticks and the other is unsupported.

Re: Oak Ridge Match
Much easier conditions. First relay at 1000 was off of sticks. Second relay was without support of any type (prone).
Those are some good scores and a good turn out.

Re: Oak Ridge Match

Re: Oak Ridge Match
Ron Walters shoots a .40-70 and also hung in there. Barb his Wife also shoots a .45-70. I looked on Facebook and I missed a good one for sure.
Now that they also shoot breach loaders this puts me into the game.

Re: Oak Ridge Match
It was TOUGH!
But we all had a blast. Shooting 1000 without rest or sling is a total trip. I'll be there next year. This is too much fun and the perfect way for me to open the shooting season. Shot okay, but made some mistakes.

Re: Oak Ridge Match
Well from your final standing I think what ever problem you had with your rifles is solved. Not a bad finish with having a few errors.

Re: Oak Ridge Match
Great match, Ian shot very well, I fell apart at 1000 supported, but shot okay unsupported. Lee Shaver put on a show at 1000, just shows, practice, practice, practice.......
Can't wait for next year, already have had emails from new shooters.
