I have the money for my rifle. Now to get my optic and bi-pod. Im hoping to make the April match.
Excellent!
For the match there are a couple of things you may want to bring with you-
1- A mat of some kind to lay on. You can lay on the ground, if you wish, but a mat keeps you from getting dirty and gives some support. A piece of carpet works as a mat, too.
2- A spotting scope or pair of binoculars for scoring
3- A folding chair, so you can sit while scoring

Par for the course work just called and I have to leave tomorrow morning. Hopefully I can make the next one. Y'all have fun and be safe.
This is one of the targets I practice on at 100 yards.

You have to make some adjustment for each circle.

WHEW.....what a great match we had! 12 competitors braved the mild 60 degree temperatures and abundant sunshine to try their hand at the new Field Precision Rifle competition today at Palo Alto. We had a few guys amongst the group who have never shot 600yds before, but with a little coaching and advice from xmeister they were ringing the 10 ring in no time. Everything went smoothly with some good pit work, good scoring, and first class match directors. hehe

Our own retired TV celebrity....saxmanson, tries his hand shooting in the Palo Alto winds.
Some pictures of a few of the other competitors. Sorry if I didn't catch your screen names guys, but I forget my own half the time.
I feel that with the success of today's match this is going to be something that catches on fast. The guys shooting blind magazines seemed to feel the restriction of not being able to load and shoot as fast and those who were pushing AR's and DBM bolt actions were able to concentrate on wind and changing conditions more. All in all I think everyone had a great time and we're all greatly looking forward to next month!!

Had a great time today. The winds as always made things interesting. I want to give a big thanks to Ted (Ritten), Rick (chaser2020), and Lanny (xmeister). Everything went great and safe. Look forward to next month.
