Last years LROC it was all on foot. Most likely the same for this year. Terrol has a tendency to make it "stressfull"

Yes, it is a whole lot of fun.

The Army guys sure get *censored* for equipment. One of the SSgt's from the shoot last year estimated his 7.62 rifle had 30k rounds down the barrel. Seeing as how that is a LOT of rounds, I don't know if it was true, but those rifles weren't all that accurate!

Post by: WoodlandShooter on March 07, 2016, 08:51:09 AM: Yes, Last year they all had SR25's that were burned up. We got our butts handed to us last year.

This year Army teams had much better equipment. Most were running suppressed M2010s.

Special T, I met him, one cool cat!!He was teamed with the Leupold Rep.
