Shot my first event yesterday, the Rimfire Sporter Match.
I came in 70th in the Open Sights class, shooting a 525-8X. Managed to squeak by with a bronze medal.
Not too shabby considering I only just zeroed the rifle the day before, switched ammo brands at the match to use the provided Lapua ammo, hadn't practiced standing, cross-legged seated, or prone at all this year, and I had a jam that cost me a shot in the seated rapid fire stage.
Also, the wind yesterday was something fierce.
I'm doing the SAFS rifle school and EIC match next weekend, then the Carbine, Springfield/Vintage, Garand, and M1A matches the week after. Should be a good time.
