Re: The 2006 National Matches

Wow, the winner was driving a bolt action! Those photos are great!

My wife doesn't like you, however, as now I'm bugging her about getting a rifle again... It was out of my system for a few months, but this thread has brought back my desire to shoot competitively again.

Manually operated rifles get an extra ten seconds per five-shot string (35 seconds rather than 25), but yeah, that's still damn impressive when you factor in having to cycle the action each time. My sorry butt had trouble this year with a friggin' semi-auto!

She will probably REALLY hate me after the next week or so -- I'll be posting pics of the Rifle SAFS, the M1 Carbine Match, the Springfield Match, the Military Bolt-action Rifle Match, and the Garand Match. I'll also snap other random pics at Camp Perry while I'm there for those matches.

I've tried to tone things down with shooting in the past, but I can't do it. I think it'll be a lifetime hobby for me, as I haven't gotten serious about High Power competition yet (and I haven't even gotten into shotguns seriously yet). I'm a lost cause.
