Not "too" worried about the 50 cal shooter...more money than good skills
Yes, with him, next years shoot will be a challenge ....
Mostly because, neither my son, nor I, have any real world experience... over 500 yards,
---BUT we are exponentially smarter (with some relative background and understanding) than the rich guy
I should have noted this is a rural community ---and none of the competitors are much more than coyote and deer hunters....the ...not well advertised ....long range competition shoot only draws the local guys who, like my son, are all working class with no training, experience, or practice
That Justen, my son, won the last two years was cuz his dad,(me) used to be Army and won a few ON Base Silhouette competitions -back in the day -cheating with 125Gr Sabot 30-30 ammo from a Winchester Model 94 and very good windage advice from "Real Sniper" (M24---) friends...that is until the club outlawed the sabot ammo
Bullet drop is mostly a given and easy to look up....windage can be a bear to figure...IMO
