These matches are sort of a cross between assault rifle, and civilian sniper rifle matches. Greatest distance for a target was 10 inch round steel plates at 500 yards. I was shooting against all sorts of bolt rifles made by known high end US, and European manufacturers. The scoring system is a combination of accuracy and speed. The Grendel served me well, and it won the match. Don't let anyone tell you that the Grendel lacks sufficient accuracy at distance. I know my Grendel made quite a few believers that day.
So far, I know of about 4 Grendel shooters at the Tri-county gun club in Oregon. If any other Oregon Grendel shooters are out there, please let us know.
If I remember, you are in the Portland, Oregon area, right? Any more matches coming up?

You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt
