   Good shooting Rob.   Hope you remembered to grab your targets and get them signed , you blew the bottom out of the 3 gun record.

Way to go Robert.  You worked your butt off this year.  What a shoot to come home with the wood.  You deserve this one.

Congrats.

Looks like Rob pounded a .042" group in HV 100. Wow!

Thanks Guys.

This was a big win for me.
I have always been frustrated shooting Tacoma. It is a very deceptive range. Six years shooting there and I always left scratching my head. Dan made it alot easier by hauling all my stuff and it always helps to have some one to bounce ideas off of. I shot LT32 and didn't need to change the load much at all.
The weather was great all weekend and it was good to catch up with everyone in Tacoma. A great group to shoot with. I recommend anyone considering traveling to shoot to get down to Tacoma.

As Rob said it is a "Tricky" range to shoot, and on that week end it gave us plenty of variations to work through.
It was a pleasure to see all his efforts this year come to a Great win in a 3 gun.
Everyone shot some big ones, but Rob's were fewer than most.
There were the usual group of great shooters there, just look at Mustafa's HV gun, it is a tough one to beat.
Rob we are home for the weekend, so you can come and pick up your well earned trophy.

Great Job Rob! It’s true, Tacoma is a tricky place to shoot at times, especially since they increased the height of the berms behind the targets at 50 and 100 yds. And, the 3 gun can be tough because you rotate 3 times so you have to shoot the whole range and your chances of sitting down in a trouble spot increase. Rob shot well all weekend, and hung in there to get the win. Always great to see the Canadian guys make it down to shoot with us! (although after this I think we are going to have to close the border!)  ;D
