Had a great time. Excellent course of fire, pretty challenging really. Wish my dope was a little closer, but I have notes and will be better prepared next time.
It is not the critic who counts, nor the one who points out how the strong man stumbled, or how the doer of deeds might have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred with sweat and dust and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes up short again and again; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; and who, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

What caliber, gun, optics, ammo were you running. And what was the range on the targets?

I've actually just started researching these matches a couple of hours ago. I'm interested in trying one out later this year. Would you mind explaining the target descriptions you posted? I don't understand what you mean by figure/exposures.
Thanks in advance,

Rich-you talking NorCal? You guys have fantastic matches and a great range.

Download that link, some ot the stuff would be great for SacValley (Im sure Vu could glean some interesting stuff for TBRC10-even if you cant use humanoid targets)!

our "new" target is the shiz and definitely humanoid.

long distance shooting is ridiculously addictive.

And yeah...our range is pretty sweet.

I'm trying to find log book/data sheets with the 11/59, 12 and 14 targets on them, any ideas?

Impact Data Books
-Tony and TC will make custom target pages. If you get them the images they could probably do them for you. Their new modular books are excellent, and the most user-customizable there are so far on the market.

Pat - I make custom data books too. PM for more info.

I'm not a fan of the Impact books as they're too big from a portability standpoint, IMHO.

They are pretty big. Some friends have them but I am waiting for them to come up with their smaller size in RnR paper.
(I do like the NorCal targets by the way-we just won't use "humanoid around your legislators!", but they do the trick!).

Rich,

where do you guys shoot in Nor Cal?

I am in Millbrae, next to Daly City, and across from the SF Airport.
