Pretty darn good in my view. I’m happy to not come in last ..
Thanks. The only stage I was upset about was the one after high prone and I forgot to dial back to zero coming off the stage.
Big.....fat....zero.
Sigh. A zero really hurts one's ranking at the end of the day.

You are H...U...M...A...N. Join the club.
According to my wife, I am becoming "more imperfect human" everyday.
Ouch!
I’ve never shot an (official) match, just a bunch of buddies trying to have fun in the field/pasture. But I have forgotten to dial back… worse, I completely forgot to set the Zero stop, and still cranked it to where it stopped… ya… I hit the dirt 40 yards (plus) in front of the target… I was so frustrated I put my forehead on the mat next to the gun and just laughed hysterically…. Couldn’t believe what I just did.

I’ve taken a zero. It was my first time shooting the NRA AR Tactical class. I spent too much time fiddling with my gear and ran out of time. Actually it was 2 zeros, my last 2 shots.
At another match, had a guy in the lane next to me cross fire on my target, a perfect center X bullseye. I got his X and he got a zero.
You learn and live to fight another day.

Jeff and I shot the NRL-22 Finale today at Altus. The 5 NRL-22 stages and 7 PRS style stages, one went out to 350.
18 shooters, Jeff laced 5th, I placed 7th, so a good day for us. I flunked pics today, never even entered my mind until we were picking up targets.
Sigh.
Jeff got a couple, an old man getting low to the floor, showing his farmers tan.

At least somebody can get down into that position ...
My back with spinal stenosis, it's difficult to get prone, especially when I have to lift my head to look into the scope ... Ouch!
It's sitting down shooting at the table for me ... Or standing while point shooting walking around. When people ask why I stopped jogging/running, "I did several miles a day in my 20-30s after the Army ... I got jogging/running out of my system ... Like Forrest Gump".

So was this a required position? Why not go prone? Faster to assume and recover?
I'm going to have to work on my stretching ...
On the tires to the left I did go prone, it was lower, have the skinned elbow to show for it.
The block was high enough prone would be a stretch, where elbows and knees was very solid. Shot off a 5 gal bucket, the block, and the 55 gallon barrel. Cleaned it.
(Actually, one elbow, one arm on block, hand around bag with thumb on thumb rest)
Stretching gets more and more important with age. Move, move, move…..
Oh, and yes, it was faster too. Getting up from prone is getting more challenging.

At least you didn’t show off the plumbers butt.
It’s even worse when that also has the farmers tan…At least you didn’t show off the plumbers butt.
