Three Day Shoot
Posted: Tue May 29, 2018 12:17 am
Just got back from the the Third day of the California lever Action Championships.
These were my first NRA Sanctioned silhouette matches. The club I shoot at holds Club Matches only in lever action.
I got a Score Book, they squadded us up into two and three. The squad members spot and keep score for each other. Some squads shoot together all the time. I shot with two other loners. A Masters class shooter and a AA class Champion.
In the Small Bore there were many marlins but also a far amount of Henrys. I think I saw all the 22lr lever action configurations, less the most basic H001. I shot my Octagon and one of my squad members shot the Octagon Long Barrel.
In Pistol Caliber matches there were fewer Henrys than the smallbore. Several 22mag Octagon LB and otherwise. 22mag rifles did very well for some top shooters. I shot my 357BBB. I had a couple people come by and ask about it.
I didn't see any Henrys in the Big Bore match.
Both the Big Boy and the Octagon preformed for me. The misses were not the fault of the rifles.
I feel even more confident in my Henry rifles after these matches.
All I will say about my scores, Your always first in a class of One.
Venue was welcoming even though the site had just suffer a catastrophic wild fire. The LASC Pistol Silhouette club did a great job hosting. Comradery and sportsmanship abounded amongst the shooters.
