Last night a few of us went to the range for some RMAC practice. I shot my best RMAC score so I felt the need to brag a little
The first three targets were nothing to brag about but only one person beat me. Conditions were typical for the range, usually gusts were less than 10 MPH, but very switchy, and inconsistent. Scores were: 220-4x, 220-3x, and 223-4x. Scored like the proposed K100: 239-6x, 238-7x, and 241-7x.
On the 4th target, the wind completely died. This is very rare at this range, at least for any length of time. I usually hate to shoot when it looks very calm, because it usually isn't. It had been dead calm for a few minutes, so I decided to go for it. I started out shooting at my normal slow speed but as the score was looking good I got a bunch faster in hopes of finishing in the condition. I finished in well under 7 minutes. My RMAC score was 240-5x and the K100 score was 250-15x.
Too bad this didn't happen at a real match, but then everyone would have shot in that condition and they might have beat me anyway. Still, it was pretty fun and it gave me an idea of what my gun is capable of if I could just read the wind properly.
