[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 1074203, member: 33046"] Well the Good Lord willing, I believe I'm ready to head to Friendship in a couple weeks..... gun) I'm not looking at it so much as a competition, I'm looking at it as a learning adventure. I've read about it and communicated with a few guys that go, and every single person has said, its an outstanding shoot to learn at, where everyone is willing to share knowledge and help. Yup, it may be a long way away but, to have the ability to learn accuracy methods and long range shooting from other in-line shooters, it will be an adventure. Its one thing to try and learn from internet forums, its a completely different option, when you can actually watch and work with other shooters while learning. We all like shooting the muzz with someone at the range, at this shoot everyone will be shooting the muzz. Praying for good weather, everyone is safe and a lot of fun. I have the rifle: [URL=http://s1343.photobucket.com/user/BarnesAddict/media/100_4489_zpsa9b30cd2.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/o800/BarnesAddict/100_4489_zpsa9b30cd2.jpg[/IMG][/URL] I bought and modified slightly a portable shooting bench: [URL=http://s1343.photobucket.com/user/BarnesAddict/media/100_4893_zps3yuk0ej3.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1343.photobucket.com/albums/o800/BarnesAddict/100_4893_zps3yuk0ej3.jpg[/IMG][/URL] I picked up my loading tubes, waterproof and will speed up loading.
