Match winner!

On February the 26th, there was a match at Plantation. It was freezing outside, 20 degrees! Even in a few layers and hand warmers, I was still cold! During every string, my hands were numb, so pulling the trigger was a little tricky at times. I shot a 149-4X (out of 150) on my first string. The wind caught me on one shot, so that's where the nine came from =). On my second string, I shot a 148-3X. Come on, really? I thought I just wasn't shooting good, my dad also noticed that my elevation was all over the place. He looked at my rifle, and one of the screws was loose! He tightened it, and on my last string, I cleaned it, 150-8X! That''s more like it! I ended up winning the match with a 447-15X! I wasn't too happy with my X count, but a loose screw can do that to you! I'm just glad it didn't turn out worse than it did, because that could have been really bad!

That day, I was given a Warner #2 rear sight by Shiraz! I was also given a a bullet block (it holds your ammo when you're shooting) by Ron. I was so amazed by peoples generosity! Throughout my shooting experience, people have been so nice! In December 2009, I was given a great rifle sling, because I didn't have a sling that fit me. When I needed help with "my" rifle September 2010, a few people jumped in  and helped me out!
