Made my last pre-Boomershoot trip to the range this morning. Seems during my previous testing with the .300 Win Mag I managed to shoot my scope loose. Red Loctite applied, torqued to spec, and I’m now dialed in at 500 meters. Took the target AR and ran a magazine through it at 400 meters. It’s ready to go. Still need to load some .260 Remington for the Power Tool™. I’ll have to sight that in on Saturday. I think I’m going to use it on the 385 yard berm only, though. Last time I scared a lot of targets with the pistol at 640 yards, but I think I only hit one.
I have someone sharing Position 26 with me now, so I’ve got a spotter and so does he. I head out for Orofino on Thursday. I’m planning to stop in Ogden, UT Thursday night, which should put me in Orofino on Friday afternoon. I’m doing Field Fire and High Intensity on Saturday, and then the event itself on Sunday, departing Monday morning for the drive home. Haven’t picked a route back yet.
I’ve got a 5’x7′ canopy and some tarp sidewalls to keep the wind and (probably) rain as much at bay as possible, and a half-inch plywood sheet for a ground surface to put my chair and table on. Weather report says cool and probably rainy Saturday, cooler and maybe rainy Sunday. Thankfully the wind is supposed to be 10 mph or less.
