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.Become a supporting member!

Re: The 2006 National Matches
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!

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.
