Based on Smokpole and MattX recommendations on lens size and magnification, I purchased an Athlon Optics Talos 20-60x80. Picked this one because Midway had it on sale and based on an on-line reviewer’s opinion it was the best low-budget spotting scope. Today I took it out to the range (overcast conditions): excellent at 100y, very good at 200 yds on paper targets. A buddy was shooting his .308 at 500 yards at steel plates - I was easily able to spot for him at this distance on fresh white paint - but pretty sure it would have been hard to impossible if it was a paper target and had discern any hits in the black. At 500 yards I didn't have it dialed all the way to 60x but a little less so as to better see the dirt fly early on in his sighting-in. I’d recommend this spotting scope for usual carbine distances if you’re on a budget. Thanks |

First time shooting since the August match.
I went with position of comfort for prone. Made some slight adjustments of my head placement and then used the same position in sustained. Off hand I worked on sight picture and how to regain it so its essentially the same as when in prone. Let some distractions get in my head but otherwise did OK. Need to practice but what can one do. Cloudy with sprinkles. The next relay got some rain and was pulling under the shed roof
to shoot sustained and offhand when I left. So those 4 guys had a greater challenges than those of us in the first relay. You can see my targets are dry. Not only is this my second best scoring total, but met my goal of decent group and no flyers. Out of 12 competitors this landed me 2nd after match winner. I'll take it! :) |

LOL. Actually 3rd place. 2nd after match Winner. Why its phrased that way I don't know. Maybe someone here knows the history. Hope to encourage others. I'm not using any special equipment. A tool box and backpack to carry my stuff and a mat to lay on the concrete. Scope and stand are really the only expensive items.

My last shooting, yesterday, getting ready for next week regional match.
As we don’t use the same targets as you, I write the 7-ring size, 12 inches. The black part diameter is 15,75 inches.
200 meters, prone, with a all-mixed carbine based on an Underwood, and CamPro bullets pushed by Vitha N110. |

And for my knowledge, what do you call « sighters » and what are the rules for the prone and prone rapid?
Our contest is based on a 200 meters shooting with - 5mn to shoot 10 rounds, 2 mags(5 rounds each) - I guess this is your prone - and then - 1mn to shoot 10 rounds, 2 mags again. Same kind for your « prone rapid »? We can do at 100m when no 200m stand available, with target reduction. |

Sighters are for checking sights and aiming point before taking any scored shots. These are optional. Prone is laying down on the ground with no supports for the rifle or hands. A modest pad is allowed, shooting jackets are allowed, and use of a leather sling is allowed. Prone slow and standing require loading one cartridge at a time, forcing the competitor to break his position for each shot. Sling can not be used when standing. Prone
rapid begins with all shooters standing, magazines loaded, and bolts
closed on an empty chamber. One reload is required. For an M1 carbine
and I think most of the manual bolt rifles the stage is shot with two
magazines/strip clips of 5. For an M1 Rifle its a 2 round and 8 round
clip.
Where I shoot we used the reduced target (SR-1) because its only 100 yards. The standard SR target is used at 200 yards. The bullseye of the SR is 13" in diameter (includes the 9 ring) The bullseye of the SR-1 is 6.35" in diameter (includes 9 ring) There are two courses of fire for the As-issued service rifle matches. We shoot the ‘A" course consisting of 30 scored shots. The ‘B’ Course adds 10 more prone slow and 10 from sitting or kneeling in 70 seconds. |

let's see if we can get fancy here. One of the guys said I could share his videos showing the rapid prone. |
