Iron Sight 250

Today our group witnessed a bit History being made. Our good friend and fellow competitior Jerry Hartwig shot his first 200 yard 250 in the Iron Sight match. It is the only one to date that I am aware of that has been shot with a 25 Caliber and Jerry did it with his very well known 25WCF. When the match scores come out later one will be able to tell by the AS Scores that the conditions were extremly rough to say the least.

Joe not only did the price of the 120gr. Mos mould go up in price I think Jerry's CPA did also. All joking aside it was probably a once in a life time opportunity for one to witness. Being that Jerry is also a very close and dear close friend it even makes it that more special for myself. It wasn't that far back when he first took up this sport and to watch him progress has been extremely enjoyable for me and quite an adventure that I hope never ends.
