Last Sunday was round 3 of the North Island PRS Rimfire series, hosted by @magdump_mark - another excellent day behind the rifle, hanging out with mates and talking crap.![]()

It was a well-designed match with a good mix of complex and simple stages. The weather was pretty much a steady drizzle all day, affecting visibility a fair bit in the morning, but after that just keeping everything damp and providing a pretty good indicator of wind direction. The wind itself was not as strong as Saturday, but very switchy with some powerful gusts, just to keep you on your toes.![]()

I maintained my season average placing of 5th, and was quite happy with how I shot on the day. I had one stage where I was a bit slow and that cost me a couple points, but other than that I had some decent scores and kept the mental errors to a minimum. ![]()

The gun ran pretty well all day, but the moisture finally caused me some issues, with a stuck case / failure to extract on the last stage of the day - ironically when the sun had started shining. It was the PRS Skills stage, and it definitely slowed me down with a time of ~95 seconds, but I kept calm and focused on cleaning the stage rather than rushing and dropping shots.![]()

Comgrats to those on the podium, and to Mark for another excellent match
