Wow! I'd say the chance is on the other shooters mb! You're more of the favorite I'd have to say with a 400 yd group that tight! Take it to em!

groups aint no trouble,,you get 10 shots at 10 little water balloons and you pretty much have to hit all 10 to get in the shootoff,,
factory rifles and ARs shoot at 200 yards,,anything under 15 lbs at 300 yards and anything goes at 400 yards,,
I am gonna shoot the 243 and 6BR at 300 and 400 and may take my CZ 527V to shoot at 200,,
there will be IBS and NBRSA shooters there from all over the country,,you will have to be on fire to come out in the top 3 ,,

I don't know how big those balloons are, but it looks like you're in good shape.mr.big":gz7wgapd said:
I bet the ARs at 200 is a competitive class as well.
Excellent shooting
GOOD LUCK BUDDY
Waiting on the report!

I sucked,,the ballons were varying sizes from like 2 inches down to just enough water for them to bust,,they try and make them like hen eggs but some are bigger and some smaller,,I hit 7 at 300 and 6 at 400,,the wind was switching bad and 8 hits won both 300 and 400,,8 at 200 with a 6.5 Grendel won the AR class and a Savage 9 twist 223 won factory class with a clean 10 and a 1/2 inch group for the tie breaker win,,
my 6BR was cutting bullet holes on the 300 yard sighter target but once you start shooting balloons you cant go back on paper and I couldnt keep track of the wind for 10 shots,,I shot both rifles at 300 and 400 and would make a run and hit 6-7 and then miss the rest all 4 times,,I was missing a switch somewhere that I never figured out what it was,,
it was good eating and lots of conversation with some really good shooters from as far as New Orleans to Pittsburg and Virginia,,

you can see the wind pushing the trees at about 215 yards,,hittin egg size and smaller targets in that isnt as easy as going out and cherry picking conditions to shoot in,,thats for sure,,
I hit 6 on this relay,

That's like trying to head shoot gophers at the same distances and hit every one of them! That taint easy no matter who you are and what you are shooting. I'd say you did real good to hit the 6 and 7 out of 10. On another day you might have won it. Reading wind to that degree is difficult for me to imagine.
