Lot to take in ... thats a fact

Any & All allowed ....
For most it becomes using a Hunter rig with BIG glass & high magnification clicking while on a bucket & bi-pod.
Some MD's may even allow range finders. Tho at a mixed venue of this matches level, No way do you want range finder on the course what so ever !!

Great weekend with weather @ mid 70* all days ( Maybe a tad warmer Sat )
Thinking 49 shooters was final tally tho we lost a few for Sunday, gained 1 as well.

TOUGH tough tough course with lots of 3/8 - 1/2" inside 15 yards, modest to small KZ's mid ranges ... then a fair dose of modest to tough 40 -55's out in the open with that ever present wind $:-\$ to contend with !! Having good elevation dope is one thing, hail mary shots into switching winds made for some interesting guess work

Scott Hull and crew did there usual Fantastic job accommodating 60+ mouths to feed and provide drink for

Looking forward to the official report as well

Well, well.. I must say that this was My first FT event, or first any type of AG event and it won't be My last!

Being My first event, I didn't know what to expect, but I must say EVERYONE there at Morro Bay Club makes it as easy and painless to come as a newbie, but felt completely comfortable and at home..

There is plenty of space for camping, glamping (RV spots with power) running water bathrooms and HOT SHOWERS!! The club house was always filled with plenty of friendly people eager just just hang out and shoot (pardon My pun) the breeze.. The shooting facility, practice range, FT course were unbelievably amazing and well thought out.. Bug spray, targets, air, water, food, energy bars, soda, suds, breakfast, lunch, dinner, chrono, advice... Even a 'mini me' flea market, and Boys, You don't wanna even know the deals that slipped through My fingers!!! ARRRGGGH! List goes on.. There was NOTHING lacking.

Oh... They feed You and feed You good.. The BBQ was amazing.. BIG grill style.. Smoked turkey, hamburgers, sandwiches, chips, marinated tri tip, sausages, salad, grilled mushrooms, grilled veggies.. I'll stop there.. Yes the food is good and plentiful, AS WELL as drink, and yes the good kind!! I brought food for camping, but who wants to eat canned tuna when there is delicious BBQ in the air!! NOWHERE can such a small entry fee go so far!!!!!!!!!! It was a privilege to crack suds with the likes of Scott S, and a lot of other great folks there and just get to know each other..

I'm telling You I met SOOO many nice folks, that I'm sure will turn out to be life long friends..

It also was exciting to meet and greet with 'infamous' You tubers, 'THE' guys from AOA, PA shooters, MAC1, and some of the best shooters around the world!

Soooo... I show up with My D48. I lubbed it up, got some dieseling after and something that is out of My expertise happend and now it is shooting 595 FPS with 14.5 Superdomes.. Yes I was depressed to say the least. But I'm NOT the one to get discouraged, and heck!. I was gonna shoot it anyway! No doubt in My mind! I'm competing regardless.. Then, SOOO many of the good folks of OUR sport stepped up and volunteered THEIR OWN personal HIGH QUALITY AG for ME to compete with that I was just taken back.. We all live in this world and we ALL know how people can be.. I have seldom been so humbled.. What a GREAT place to be..

With that said one of the people was Motorhead in the flesh volunteering his fully prepped Mrod FT rig!.. I don't think it took more than a millisecond for Me to except, lest I be labeled a fool forever!

I stepped up the the practice range with the Motorhead FT Mrod.. Let loose just a few rounds.. Then.. THEN I know what I was in for.. Serous challenge of a clearly superior degree of accuracy.. I was really excited about the next days, but a bit nervous..

My first match.. Shooting a Motorhead FT prep.. Never, did I think this is how this tournament would end up..

I enjoyed shooting with everyone.. Watching, learning, taking advice from some of the best in the field.. I had a intense feeling between nerves and laughter, to Me that equals fun.. I learned SOO much and can't wait to come back and share the knowledge I learned to other new shooters as well as compete with all You great folks!!

It was a LOOONG drive from SEA/TAC.. Will I ever drive that far for another FT tournament? Umm, maybe.. Will I ever drive out to Morro Bay Shooters club events.. DEFINITELY!

I even conned My lady into coming to this telling her, 'well there's nice stuff around Morro Bay/San Luis Obisbo area'... I'll start by telling You that She is not, NOT a shooter, nor do I see Her being a shooter in the future... She was uncomfortable with staying and hanging around with the 'guys' (even tho there were women in the tournament) that during the Fri practice/food/bevs (fun) and Sat. match. While I did My thing she went to SLO and got her nails done and had a good time in SLO seeing the sights, nature, and so on.. I asked her to come to the Sun match, because I knew that she would fit in and have a great time, regardless of not being the shooter type.. I knew that everyone there was as friendly and amicable and so on, I'll just say that she had a great time just hanging out and talking to people.. She even got involved and was helping around and enjoyed herself because of the friendly atmosphere and people.. I think she got more time talking with the peeps that I was wanting to 'pick' their brains than I did !!! I know she wasn't talking about our sport, but I'm jealous!! HAHA!

Thank You Scott S for turning My frown upside down! Thanks to ALL of You that help set Me up, and volunteered help, with equipment for the match.. Sticks, stools, AG's, pellets, etc.. I really felt like family and that feeling is awesome.. My lady even commented and wanted You all to know that WE THANK YOU!!

Hats of to Scott H, and his crew, and EVERYONE that attended, because there wasn't a person that I meet there that wasn't there to enjoy themselves and have a good time with good folk! BRAVO!!

I'll get a report done in the near future. Need to recover first. I decided to do results only for now:

Western States Champions:
http://www.slsba.org/airgun/results/WS-2015-Class.htm

AAFTA class winners:
http://www.slsba.org/airgun/results/WS-2015-AAFTA.htm

Edit: There were some (maybe 4?) corrections to a few scores since I first posted. Inconsequential to awards at the match. But these scores will be submitted to AAFTA for inclusion in the Grand Prix. Mostly addition errors that were not caught at the match.

I entered every shot (that's 5640 shots) in a spreadsheet and checked each card that did not match the posted scores. Anyone that disagrees is welcome to see their card.

Scotchmo · « **Reply #94 on:** August 18, 2015, 02:58:07 AM »

ToRmEnToR,

Wow, thanks for the endorsements, compliments, and just the fact that you attended and took any adversity in stride.

more to come...
