Don.
It looks like for the AZ 1000 one would have to at least hold a 80 to be competitive.
What do they do as far as squatting and did they shoot with out coaching? or was this allowed? and was shooting sitting allowed?

It was a really excellent match with lots of great people. I'm glad I spent the last relay pulling targets, it was getting pretty hot out!

That was nice finishing up in the pits today. Fine job you did shooting Chris

Thanks Don. I was really happy with my shooting, it was certainly the best I've shot at 1000 yards. On the second day I shot an 82 and I'd never shot in the 80's before. Then the next day, with some excellent spotting I managed to keep them all in the black and got an 89. I was probably the worlds happiest Canadian that day :-).
I messed it up on the last target by trying out my baco bore wipers instead of my 3 wet patches. I don't know what I did wrong, but had tons of vertical. The gun definitely had some carbon in it after that too. I'm sure I must have been doing something a little funny with them as they work for some shooters with a lot more talent and skill than I have, like our World Champion for instance!
Chris.

The sauce used on those is the secret. I also think using a flannel patch instead of the arsenal patches works better
