Shooting

My passion! Rifles and long distance shooting. The science involved with the long shoot i.e. beyond 1000 yds. is phenomenal I have competed in both 1000 yd. National Championships as well as Team Sniper Competitions. The above weapons we custom build to do just that, two .300 win mags. the bottom is M-16. (for close quarter battles) CQB!
Idaho State Team Sniper Championship. My partner and I took 4th place out of 42 teams. The teams came from all over the West from Military and Law Enforcement. They invited 4 Civilian Teams (which we were one of the 4) and the civilian teams took 1st, 2nd, 4th and 6th. It's not a job to use, we love to shoot!
Idaho again! My partner shooting in the lower part of pic.


The empty canopy in Idaho.

Reno 1000 yd. National Championships (NBRSA) National Bench Rest Shooters Association. This was my first and I was about 38th out of 52.

That my rifle the second from the bottom. I shoot a straight up sniper weapon where as most the rest shoot bench rest rifles. (flat bottom, single shoots that float across their bags). I have to adjust after each shot!

Reno again, I'm Third from the right!

The target boards are 6 feet by 6 feet and the paper target on the boards are 4x4 feet, can you see them way out there?

This is Ken Owner of K & P Barrels from Raton, NM.

Recieving the customary participation gift (since I did'nt do well).

This is the Late, Great Skip Talbot! the number 1 athority on the .50 cal. in the Nation. No better group of guys to shoot with. Skip Talbot died in 2006.
