Thanks for posting Bob. How did your race go?

I am a bit behind in posting the 1000 yard results.  I had a race that overlapped the last two days....so I was MIA.

Jeff continued his dominance by taking the top spot on the 1000 yard match and the combined overall 600/1000 yard win as well.  The good news is that a couple of the local guys did very well too.  Rick Shields and Phil Peterson took the 2nd and 3rd overall positions behind Jeff.  Here are the final 1000 yard results.

Lane Buxton shot well in just the 1000 yard portion of the Nationals.  Lane was part of the US Team that shot in South Africa recently....an F-Class shooter and very good and familiar with SacValley conditions.  Just makes Jeff's win that much more significant.

It's WPR  (Western Precision Rifle PRS style shooting) not The PRS

Quote from: DHuffman on April 28, 2024, 08:43:53 AMWith 2 WPR matches each Wyatt made A class and I made C class, missed B by .01% wtf LOL

Clayton has 1 match and has points in U class, U stands for unknown/unclassified so after Williston in 2 weeks he will get classed in  B or C

They put you into A B  or C after 2 matches based on your points.

Interesting classifications, don't have those in the south.

Love turkey hunting. This year was pretty slow compared to last year. Only saw/heard one gobbler in 10 days out on my sister's farm in Missouri and just came home this past Saturday. Last year harvested two big (25lb) toms. Also using a 20ga (Mossberg pump), but with Federal 3rd Degree.

Would love to see a video of that episode Wayne. I wear a brace on my right leg and often that leg gets tangled up in bramble and tall weeds. Can't tell you how many quail I've taken in the midst of falling down. 😊

Grant,
My stick is a custom from Alamo Precision. Defiance Anti, 24" Proof and a Trigger Tech. Strictly a deer rifle. Won't take the shot past 400. Need my victim dead where he stands. Applaud you long range shooters. I am too cheap to burn up components/barrels.

Thank you for the congrats. Have fallen in love with the 20 gauge with #9 TSS. Used to be a serious turkey hunnter. Chased them all over the South and Midwest. Healing nicely from the 360 spinal fusion. Will get serious again. Serious enough to put together a dedicated 20 gauge turkey gun.

A little humor. My favorite mouth call was the Knight & Hale Super Hen. Has not been made for years. Had squirreled a few back in the frig. Thursday night, opened one I had marked 2007. Seventeen years old. Soaked it under warm water. Went in the garage and did a few yelps. Yep, I still got it. Let him gobble 4-5 times before I made a peep. Soft yelps. He answered. When he hung up, I cut/cackled. Bird lost his mind. Shut up and let him come.

The best part. I am still limited physically. Was sitting on a dove bucket under a cedar tree on uneven ground. When I touched the little 20 off, tossed my wide a** flat on my back. He was flopping and I was limping. Like a scene from Gunsmoke with Chester moving with a purpose.

Been a challenge doing any load development on this gun this weekend due to strong winds.. I did get about 60 rounds down the barrel and got a couple auddette ladders in. One yesterday with new brass  and one this evening with once fired brass.. was having some erratic velocities yesterday with the new brass.. so today I used once fired brass and made a primer change from cci 200's to cci br2's.. and one of them two things solved my velocity issue.. both ladders showed good nodes in the low 3000's.. I will start testing for groups soon as I get a chance but I'm pretty confident the berger 184 hybrids are going to be happy about 3015 fps.. I have to say the rifle is bad ass.. lol.. it's got some ponies under the hood..
