So this weekend I'm going to my first BR match as a participant. Since I have zero experience on what to take, how about a few of you experienced guys help me with a list of things to be sure to take. I know air, the gun (duh) and my favorite pellets. And I need the rest and the bags, etc. but I'm thinking more along the lines of 1.) Take a towel to put on the top of the bench to make it more comfortable. 2.) It will be hot so take a towel to wipe your face...... you know, stuff like that. I know there are so many things I will forget. So your help would be appreciated.

Oh, and I'll be shooting my RedWolf in a 25m. If my flags come in the mail in time, I'll take those as well. Otherwise, it flag tape on a stick.

Sun shade for scope, also umbrella w/ c-clamp etc. to clamp to bench (if allowed?) if range faces east-s-east & if your shooting in am relay, timer or use phone timer, as not to rush your card, ( if your flags don’t come pick a bench next to someone w/ flags or shoot on that table if multiple relays ( most guys don’t mind and or won’t pull their flags between relays), don’t pick first relay and WATCH THE FLAGS!, and timing of shots of the more experienced shooters (SIGHTERS, SIGHTERS , more SIGHTERS!!!) MORE PELLETS!, bring your own stool, if it’s not already? get one that’s height adjustable... enough for now, GOOD LUCK, it’s addictive

Looks like I did pretty good. I shot a 246, 243, 246 for 735. 22X's I was having a little trouble since this was the first time to shoot the 18 gr pellets on low. At home I was shooting from 220 bar down to about 180. So after I shot the 3rd card, it was down to about 180 bar so I figured, why not take the rest of the time and shoot the sighters. I started with 5 shots in one hole. It was like a laser.. As it went down, it started shooting even better. You know those little black dots between the sighter targets? I nailed all 6 of them dead on.,

I wish I found this out before the match. But, I was there to learn something. And I did, so it was a successful time. And Thanks Tony. It was a pleasure to meet you today.

Awesome score! Was that enough to win, place, or show? It would be at most clubs... Congrats!

Yes it was a win. I had so much fun with all the other stuff and I didn't want to sound like I was bragging.. The best part of course was that I made new friends today. I can hardly wait for Saturday this week. They have a 50m 22 rim fire and I can shoot my airgun in that if I want to. Sweet. I'd like to see what it looks like.
