it sounds cold to me but if you are going to go shoot in that weather you have the dedication to keep going and to improve a long way.
when it warms up you will see alot more folks and you will have alot of fun but you take each match like practice for the next match.
what is the distance that you will shoot in this match, 100yard , 200 yards?
if you ever need any info on any aspect of highpower please ask and that goes from positions to courses of fire to equipment and anything else that involves any type of service rifle highpower matches please just ask as you do have some folks here that will help in any way they can.
and about the scores I remember my first match years ago and out of about 30 folks I think I finished second from last but I loved it and it made me want to do it again and again.
I also shot a garand at the begining and love that weapon.
if its windy do not worry because it will be windy for everybody and there are a few tricks to shooting in the wind and on the positions in the wind, but I do know what you mean as I finnally after about 2 months of trying to get some shooting not in the wind I finnally got to do it last week as I was trying a my backup rifle with new loads and found out its shoots great instead of getting blown all over the target.
let us know how you did and if you have any questions after the match please ask.
I know steve smith will give you some great advice as he is very good at service rifle highpower .
and I also will give you any info on the sport that you would like also and no question is to strange and there are some very small basics in every position thats will help your scores rise quickly.
thanks jon
