Accurized AR Match, 24 Sep 22

So, this match was supposed to be interesting.  August match, @JBMatt cleaned the fucking course AGAIN again.  Multiple times now.  I missed one shot in August, from cleaning the whole course, shot my fastest time on the timed stage, and did pretty damned well for myself.  I decided then...

I need to make it harder.  Decided at the August match that I was shooting the 16" Precision Gun for the Sep match.  Well, Matty agreed@!  He was gonna shoot his 16" gun, too!  I show up, and he's got his damn 18" gun again...  Alright, Fuqr, you SAID...   Whatever...  

I rode the Struggle-Bus on the first stage that we shot, and hit 4 out of 9 - I dropped 5 targets on that stage.  It took a minute to figure out the BDC reticle that works so amazing on my 18" gun, and applying it to my 16" gun.  That stage sucked for me, and I thought the whole course sucked, thought the next 2 stages were horrible...  but I only dropped 1 target on each of those next two stages.  Cleaned the last 2 stages.  I ended up 44 hits out of 51 targets, and that was still only good enough for something like 21st place.  The talent pool is DEEP out here, for shooters...  

Of course, Matty smoked the whole course again, and shot the 2nd fastest time, and ended up crushing it.  ALL.  I just wish he would have manned up and brought his 16" gun, like he said he would, back in August...  

Here's the technicals, for those that like to geek out on the numbers:

Here's what we shot - here's the course of fire:

 

@Shadow, did you sign up and shoot this match?

 

For the record, I'm highly impressed with my 16" precision gun - it got it done, once I got my shiit together and got that BDC going.  That gun rocks, and I'll shoot it again in these matches.    Ballistic Advantage 16" SPR stainless barrel rocked it - once I had it going. 

Click the pics of the Stage pics  -keep clicking until they get bigger - they will.

16" gun making solid hits on 630 yards targets is a good feeling.  That's "confidence in equipment" right there.  I love this gun.

Sorry to disappoint ya, buddy!  I didn't have the time for load development and verification and learning the BDC on that rifle that I thought I would to make that 16" competitive.  Plus, we have the 2 day match coming up.  I thought it would be best to continue to learn and reaffirm the gun I've been using.  I plan on doing as well as I can at the October match, and hopefully bringing home some hardware.  After the October match I'll start playing around with different stuff.

That would be chaos.  But it would be funny!
