Wes Hall Memorial

   With Winning In Mind sat open on the table as I ate breakfast. I thought it would be a good idea to read it before the match at Plantation that morning. As I read, I pictured myself winning the match. In my head, I already had.

  

   I walked up to the shooting line thinking about what I read in the book, 'It's impossible to think about something positive, when you're thinking about something negative'. I only thought about making perfect shots, one shot at a time. After every shot, I told myself that that shot was gone, and my next shot is going to be a center X. I shot my very first 600/600 that day, winning the match in the process. I had the only clean score (600/600) for the match rifle shooters. My X count wasn't too bad, I had 39. I didn't have the highest X count, but points come before X's.

   I was shooting my .308, not the 6 BRX. I hadn't shot with iron sights for a little while, so I was a little nervous. When I was shooting the 6 BRX for test loads and practice, I was using a scope. I ordered a sight base for the 6 BRX, so I can move my Right Sight easily from one gun to the next. Now, I just have to do more load testing with the irons. My dad and I already found a pretty good load, so I'm going to shoot it with iron sights and see how it goes.
