I will always remember Namaka as it was the first match I every attended, and the only one I made it to there, before it shut down.
Winter score shoot, heater running, someone even had some sort of twitching things lined up outside going to the targets.
I started thinking I should have brought my hockey gear, well at least the elbow pads as getting around in the building took
some fancy manuvering.
The 1st match starts without any issues, at the end of it I clear the bench and stand there watching all these folks rushing around to
reload and clean their guns! What's that all about, didn't anyone plan for this shoot and load enough ammo?
And clean your rifle!!!!!! Hell, I will have to tell these fellows about Danzac, don't need to clean for at least 50 rounds.
I mean that little .223 cal. doesn't burn enough powder to worry about anyways, and that little case everyone else were using looked
like it only had about as much powder in it.
As with most of us, that first match is a real eye opener and one event not easily forgotten.
Fortunately or unfortunately it did not scare me off.
