Pleased, astounded really, that I took 1st Place
Men's Long Range Smokeless Big Bore Repeater side match at the Berger Sharpshooter's Regional Match in Texas, shooting the trusty Vetterli.
Timed event, had to progress through the targets in order. 100yds out to 400yds. I was inching up onto the 400yd steel when the timer sounded. Last round was only about 6 inches below that target, dead center. One more adjustment of the sights and I would have hit it. Oh well.
Earned me the sobriquet of "River City Quigley".
AND, our own "Broken Nose Scotty" took 1st Place

p.s. You were allowed to use sticks for support, first time ever shot off of sticks.
