What range is that? I lived in the Bay area for about 20 years, and it doesn't look familiar at all.

On Edit: Looks like Chabot has their military bolt gun match this weekend:

You are shooting paper, so they don't care about ammo type.

I should check out Chabot some day. It's only a little farther than Field Sports park. The range with the long range matches is in Sacramento. My only problem with these matches is the thought that all the competition are marksmen. lol I'm not. But then again, way back when I was a young lad and fancied myself a bit of a pool shark, one of my teachers taught me you can't get any better until you play people better than you.

The way I looked at it, even when I was competing regularly, the only person I was competing with was me. Challenge yourself, and have fun, you win.

Hell, I shot a 3-gun match at Chabot once with K98k. In the rain.

Only gun there that wasn't an autoloader, and had the lowest magazine capacity. I didn't win (I didn't come in last either :thumbsup: ), but I challenged myself and had fun.

Nobody I ever competed with EVER looked down on new guys, or guys that are not as good. Generally they would help. Everyone has to start somewhere, and even the best High Master was noob at one point.

It looks like the forum cropped it, maybe it is too big, there is an empty in the air.

I got really lucky, the guy I handed my camera to when I was shooting turned out to be an excellent photographer.

I resized it and uploaded it again:
