This is a First!

[Modoc]

Here is a good one, I have been Cowboy Action Shooting since '97 and last weekend finally won a match. We have some decent shooters in our local group, but the day was just right for me.

The down side is that I need a new rifle to meet my potential

You didn't "take" first....You EARNED first. Remember that!

+100!

Why is needing a new rifle a downside?

Congrats,

Boy, what a great feeling bein' No. 1 always is. Good job!

(I don't know if a new rifle will bump you any higher than first place, though...)

[Modoc]

Yes I took First, it took a lot of effort to take it away from the usual winner

Sig, a new rifle will help in that the one I am looking at has a different feed method that is much smooter. I spent a fair bit of time dealing with rough chambering. I am graduating from an 1892 Winchester to an 1873. Sorta like going from an 870 to a Bennelli

I'm sure you have a good point. This way you can win just that much faster.

[Modoc]

Of course, it really chaps some hides when you beat them using "inferior" equipment

I do have some smithing to do before Saturday's match tho.

[Modoc]

Bringing this back to the top since it has been a year and a quarter and if finally earned HOA in my second match. It is amazing how much time/points some shooters burn up with misses. Not only is the "New" rifle working very well, but I ended up with a new leather rig to accommodate some injuries (Ouch in more ways than one! ).

Good equipment and ammunition DEFINITELY makes a difference, especially when you couple it with some practice.

[GrumpyOne]

Very cool!
