super awesome fun and nice meeting you all. Wish there was a headcount for people who made deposits and those who did not, so that last spot could have been filled.
Prom night date with smdub, Alderleet, redsandman6, and INMY01TA was a nice bromance. Do not recommend the steaks at the Silk Mill Grille (just avg. but at least it wasnt too pricey). Breakfast at Mineral time to order to time to food delivery is like 3 minutes :O
Note for future groups: Bring a SUV or pickup truck

Got me wondering now, what optics are you running?Great time. It was nice shooting with fellow MDS members. Where's group photo?
Ed is an encyclopedia of long range shooting and was very helpful in answering all questions.
His support staff/spotters were also very helpful.
I was running an AR10 with 175 Federal Gold Pills. I have never shot past 300 yards and was very pleased when I was hitting plates at further distances. I had to tap out at 1k yards because of my scope limitations.
Agree with smdub, highly recommend an attached scope level.
Thanks to Pinecone for putting this together and to Ed for offering the class at such a reduced rate for MDS members.
BTW - I am interested in additional training, if anyone else wants to partner up, please let me know. Thanks

Gotcha...I pulled this off the shelf at home from another project - Vortex 6.5-20x44 BDC reticle used with a standard 1" offset AR mount. I liked the scope, but ran out of elevation adjustment at 800 yds and out of elev adj and scope reticle adj at 1k+.
A 20MOA mount would have really helped there. I have one on my AR10. The RPRs have 20MOA already built into the top picatinny rail.used with a standard 1" offset AR mount
a) By decreasing the scope height over bore, we reduce the convergence angle (amount of elevation necessary to align line of sight with line of bore). Decreasing convergence angle serves to decrease the divergence angle on the other side of your zero range by a corresponding amount. Net result: you will need MORE elevation adjustment, not less....But if I dropped the 1" offset mount and added low scope rings i reduced the bore to scope from 3.25 to 2.50 or about 3/4". How much moa would I pick up with this change? For 1200 yds I need 54 moa. Thanks
