[QUOTE="notajeep, post: 940219, member: 40148"] Well I thought I'd update those the may be interested. I just got home from the April 6th spear point event and had a blast. I wasn't ready for it, as in knowing the targets went to 1400 yards before I got there. While I had only really had my .308 out to about 900 yards ever. My advice for anyone wanting to go is to just go have fun and try it. The swinging platform for prone position with a hand full of targets between 450 to 600 was very challenging. Where I went wrong on that one was I should have crawled onto the platform a little more slowly. I did manage to make contact with a few of the steel plates. So each of the three events were timed. I ran out of time on the 400-1400 steel plates. If I was to go again I will have my hold overs documented further out that my current dope goes. Yesterday we were told that 24 shooters showed up, while today with a 50% chance of rain only about 6 were there. So it went fast today. The lodge where the morning sign up and safety briefing is held has badges and tee shirts for sale. So next time I'll be getting one of those as well. I took the time penalty and bypassed the pistol portion of one of the events. this is what everyone wants to know right here. For an advantage instead of having to reload after five shots those of you with the ten round mags will not have to stress over the count down clock such as I did. [/QUOTE]
