NRAI 2012 Nationals / Open Shoot.

Cass

Results will be up on the NRAI website within a day or so.

The comp was good. turn out was a little down, but that was to be expected with people's belt tightening, and the bank holiday weekend.

Results were a mixed bag overall. It won't be hard find my name just look to the bottom of the list.:o Was a little cautious in my new load, and it ended up too slow for 900+ yards. So i withdrew.

After saying that others done extremely well with dev110 exceeding his own, and others expectations for his first comp. Wind was very tricky and it was not a case of looking just for changes in speed, but direction. Wind shifted from 1 o'clock to 11 then to 12.

Was good fun, and everything went smoothly. Did not make it on Sunday so am anxious to see results myself.

As with EZ, problems with my load forced me out on the 900, but well done to DEV. was a good learning experience and got to meet some new faces. ... now wheres my kinetic hammer :(

Even though I did pass my expectations for my first comp I had ammo problems at 1000. Would make a good wind call which would have given me a 5 but the round decided to drop into the 3
I know it wasn't me so need to check my reloading process. Can't wait for the next comp where I hope to improve scores a little more.

The Benchrest results were interesting. The FTR rifles were a good 5 inches smaller than the smallest F-Open. With 16" between smallest FTR, and largest F-Open.

Maybe FTR is the new F-Open.:D:p

Does anyone know if they shot in the same conditions/time, etc?

The whole BR comp was shot over 45 mins or more and in that time the wind changed alot.

I had to keep an eye on the match rifle (2x15) and as a result I shot in the last detail of the BR where the wind seemed consistent, 1 o clock ~10mph.

I do know that out of all the FTR shooters only 5-6 scores were actually counted as the rest were spoiled, misses on the board, only 4 shots fired, etc.

I came in with a 30 inch group and wished I had used HPS ammo instead of the ammo I had trouble with the day before but I don't know if it was vertical or wind that got me.

It is clear that the FTR shooters are working hard and closing the gap on the F-Open and in some cases beating them.
