Started off with 33 shooters. IMG_20170723_123327370.jpg Saturday we shot the Lv100 yard and Hv100 yard. I finished 15th and 5th. Today we started with Hv200 yard. I won that and coupled with my 5th place finish I also won the Grand Aggregate on the right.

This afternoon we shot the Lv200 yard. Carstensen lead through group 4, but I shot a slack grabber .347 group in match 5 for the win. That coupled with my 15th placing from yesterday put me 4th place in the LvGrand Aggregate on the right.IMG_20170723_161308215.jpg

You can win things such as small group at Lv and Hv in each yardage, an Aggregate yardage, same deal, and a Lv and Hv Grand Aggregate. You add up both Grand Aggregates to determine who the 2 gun winner for the 2 day shoot consisting of twenty, five shot groups is. I think a human hair is .004....I lost the 2 gun by .0006…….......My traveling pal Dean was behind me by .001...look at how close some of the scores are, .0012 between 1st and 4th place........ That .001 cost me buying ice cream on the way home.IMG_20170723_161313862.jpg

Do you still use the same gun for both events Dave?

Yes I do, because the rules for Lv..Light Varmit say maximum 10.5# and Hv..Heavy Varmit maximum 13.5#. You can use the Lv in both classes. Most Hall of Fame shooters and many other shooters only use Lv. Hv has a little less recoil is the only gain. How would you like to have a Hv gun that is shooting lights out, only to have to put it away to shoot the Lv class?

The last time I took a shot in the dark here is the result. We were having coon problems, eating Mary's feral cat food. I could barely make out the coon at about 50 feet and couldn't see the sights on the .22 so I sighted down the barrel. Went right through the coon into the door. The coon didn't make it.
