Well I have been rather busy lately and I am just getting
around to posting some news. Here are a few updates.
On 19-20 Sept, I shot in the Tiger Valley Team Match
in Waco TX . This was the second team match held at Tiger Valley this year.
This match requires teams to each have a precision rifle and gas gun shooter.
Also each member must carry a handgun. I shot the precision rifle and I again
used a 260 REM. Just about everyone that shot a gas gun was using some
type of AR platform. We shot a total of 8 events over the two days. We
did have a night fire stage, but there were some problems and the event was
dropped. On Sunday the precision rifle shooter all the way out to 1050
yards. There was a total of 38 teams in the match. Our team finished 13th.
Also on 06-07 NOV, I shot the SnipersHide Shooters Bash
at RiflesOnly in Kingsville TX. SnipersHide with the help of RiflesOnly puts
on two matches a year. We shot quite a few events over the two days. We did
a 1000 yard cold bore, shot a moving target with a rifle and then for the night
fire event we also shot a moving target with a pistol, we did two run and gun
events, which included shooting pistol on both events. One event had a total
of 700 points and many shooters either came in the standing after this event
or dropped down. They also had a GREAT prize table. They gave away at least
five guns. There was a total of 58 shooters at this match.
In DEC I will be shooting a match at Long Range Alley
in Sherveport Louisiana. This will be a two day precision rifle match. It will
be my first time there and also this will be there second big match. There
is 50 shooters already signed up for this match. Stay tune for updates.
I received some new items to try out. The two items were sent to me for T&E. The first item is a logbook
by Impact Data Books . This logbook
was design by a friend of mine and he sent me one to try out. The think I like
about the book is you can design it around your shooting or training. They also
have pre made books. If you are looking for a databook, you might give this
one a try.
The other item is some ballistic software from PrecisionWorkBench
. This software runs on a PDA that uses Windows Mobile. I have had the software
for a couple of weeks now and have been working with it. I will post updates
later.

Well I am off and running since the new year started. On
31 Jan-01 Feb, I shot the Tiger Valley Team Match
in Waco Tx. The team match requires each team to have a member shooting
a precision rifle and the other to shoot a gas gun. Also each team member must also
carry a pistol. I shot the precision rifle and my weapon of choice was a GA Precision
built 260 REM. We shot a total of 7 events over the two days and three of the
events were run and gun. There was a total of 22 teams that shot the match and
after the dust had settled my team finished FIRST. It was a GREAT match and
we shot well.
Since the new year started I also have acquired some new gear
to try out. The first is the Atlas Bipod made
by Accu-Shot products. I have bought
several of there products and this a new product. It is a very good bipod and
has quite a few adjustments. Also I picked up a new Sling from
TAB gear. I will be testing these products and putting them through there paces.
I will post updates later.
I also started playing around with a new caliber. It is the
6.5 Grendel. I built an upper on an AR platform. I just finished it and have
only done the barrel break on it. I also just picked up some dies and loaded
ammo. I also will post some updates on this soon. Stay tune.
2009
Welcome to 2009. I have already been planning the matches

match require each team to have a member shooting a precision rifle and the
other a gas gun. The gas gun of choice is the AR-15. Each team member also has
to carry a pistol.

two days. In this match we also shot quite a bit of pistol events. The night

I am just getting around to updating the website. I am start
off by adding the lastest news. Later on I will be posting a new photo page and
adding some articles.
I made another trip to TigerValley on
21-22 SEPT 08,
in Waco TX to shoot there second Team Match
of the year. The one they had at the first of the year was such a big success
that they decided to have a second one. There was a total of 40 teams that signed
up and shoot the match. The match was two days and my team finished 15th. We
did quite a few run and gun stages and also some long ranges stages. Since it
was a Team Match
one shooter shot a precision rifle and the other shot a semi - auto rifle. The
semi of choice was an AR platform. Most of the AR's were 223 , but some were
308. Also each team member had to carry a pistol. Some of the run and gun events
the targets could be engaged with a pistol. This match was a BLAST.
In December I will be at RiflesOnly shooting the SnipersHide Shooters Bash
. This match is held every year about this time. RiflesOnly and SnipersHide
always put on some GREAT matches. They draw shooters from all over the Untied
States and the match always fills up. I will post updates on the match later.
GA Precision
built me another rifle this year. I had the rifle built in a 243 caliber.
I also had to buy brass, bullets and dies for this caliber. I have been testing
some loads and different bullets. I have had good success with the DTAC
115 bullet. I will be shooting this rifle at the Shooters Bash. Stay tune for
more updates.
19 JUN 08
I have been REAL busy and I freed up some time to post some
updates. I have been doing a lot of shooting and training the last
couple of month. This has kept me busy. I am leaving this week to go to a match
and planning on shooting another match next month.
In March I shot the Snipers Hide Cup
at Rifles Only in Kingsville TX. There
was a total of 60 shooters that shot the match and many came from different parts
of the United States. There was even a few international shooters. This match
just grows every year and also gets better and better. This year the match was
a little different. Everyone had to shoot a 308 caliber rifle and they also
had to use a stock Glock pistol. I used one of my GA Precision
rifles and for a Glock, I used the model 34 in 9mm. Also the ammo was furnished.
The ammo was Corbon and was loaded in Lapua brass with 175 SMK's. It was three
days of shooting. We also shot from a helicopter
with a POF 308 gas gun. The POF rifle had a GREAT muzzle brake on it. The rifle
recoiled like a 223. It was a GREAT match. There next match will be the Snipers
Hide Bash and it will be in DEC.
I also just got back from Tac-Pro in Mingus TX. I was there to
shoot the Tac-Pro Shooting Center Sniper Tourament. It was a two day match and
we shot 14 events. Here is a list of some of the events: Two Cold bores,
one field event
, KD shooting at 600, 700, 800, 900 and 1000 yds, barricade
event, run and gun and a night shoot. The night shoot was GREAT. We
started at dusk behind our rifles. Down range at 200 yards was a 3" target.
On the signal, we fired two rounds. We waited five minutes and the signal was
given again to fire two shots. We did this for 14 shots. Of course all the time
it is getting darker. There was a total of 37 shooters at this match.
I also just had George at GA
Precision rework my DPMS AR10 upper. I had recently picked an AR10
and I sent the upper to George to have him rework it. It now has a new barrel
and a Badger Ord handguard. The rifle shoots GREAT. I plan to start shooting
it at some different matches.
2008
Welcome to 2008. I am just getting around to updating the
website. I have been very busy since the first of the year and also have been
doing a lot of shooting. On 12-13 Jan, I shot in the Tiger
Valley Team Challenge match. In this match one team member shot a precision
rifle and the other shot a gas gun. The gas gun of choice was the AR. Each team
member also had to carry a pistol. We shot 8 events over two days and two of
the events were a run and gun. There was a total of 30 teams and our team finished
Fourth overall. The match was held at Tiger Valley in WacoTX.
In March I will be returning to RiflesOnly
in Kingsville TX to shoot in the SnipersHide cup. This years match will be a
three day event. The match will also have its own twist. Each shooter will be
will have to bring a 308 caliber rifle and also a box stock Glock. Also the
308 ammo will be provided. This is the first for this match and since everyone
will be shooting the same rifle caliber and type of pistol, it should be interesting.
Stay tune for updates.
There are also two new companies that I have bought products
from. First is Specopstech . This company
has some GREAT products and I just picked up two items from them to test.
One of them I will be using at the Snipershide Cup. The other company is CORBON.
They make pistol and rifle ammo. They just started making 260 REM ammo. The
company sent me 3 boxes of ammo to test.
