Bill/OregonPreparing to stick my toe in NRA/CMP Highpower again
INTJ: Sure hear you bout the weather. I am hoping the Oregon mud starts to dry out in May.
Mike, thanks for sharing your experiences in such detail.

InstructorAnyone going to Atterbury, Indiana this year??
I am booked for July 22,23, and 24th for Long Range matches. Been some 20plus years since I shot competitively and think, emphasis on think, still have the basics down. Put together basic Rem. 700 action, Douglas 26"CM, 4 groove, barrel with McMilan A5 stock over the winter and been practicing prone at local range. Neck and back muscles that I forgot I had are telling me that at 74 should do something else, but going to have a go at it anyway. Have a Warner rear sight as well as a Zelenak one and Anshutz globe front and have had both eyes operated on for cataracts and vision is now 20-15 which is supposedly excellent and can say made a huge difference in my vision. Got some 6 weeks to go yet and plan on spending most of that time practicing. Have confidence in equipment and my loads so the rest is up to the trigger puller, me.
