Great job guys. Wish I could have shot it again this year.

Blackfork 6 has a great video up of the TSRA team shooting the NTIT with ARs this year. They are Master and High Master class shooters with absolutely solid positions. It will give you a flavor of what it's all about, but think about the challenge level with the M14. I played around a little with the NM AR shooting that kind of cadence at scaled targets at 100 yards........it's a whole different ballgame with the M14. I don't say this to take anything away from their accomplishment, but merely to say we have a long way to go to master our babies to that extent.

Suddenly, it does; you get a few well placed shots off before the smoke from surrounding shooters and neighboring teams obscures the targets. The choice: do you trust your natural point of aim or wait to the next stage? You've only got 50 seconds to send your shots at each one of the four stages. More to follow from Got 7.62? Team.

Having fun, gaining experience, and hopefully getting better, is what it's all about. It was great to see you guys again this year. I just wish we had more time to socialize. maybe next year....
Congrats to Eagle1 for winning a Springfield Armory XD pistol during the M1A match. I'm just surprised he actually passed his instant background check...

Great bunch of guys, really...

Careful with the cameras in the pit. The officials were constantly warning against disqualifying the shooter for anyone caught using cameras/cell phones in the pits. I guess they had an issue with people using cell cameras to feed info to the line...who knows?

Yeah, 5,000 mile round trip last year. Not something I can do on a regular basis
