Friday the 13th at the Berger Southwest Nationals
Today marked the third day of competition at the Berger Southwest Nationals. The superstitious types among the competitors viewed the day with some trepidation. There was actual bad luck for some folks, including Mid Tompkins, who broke his leg in a parking lot accident in the morning. But most shooters didn’t worry too much about the date — they were more concerned about calling the wind correctly. As Bryan Litz said: “I don’t believe in superstition. We make our own luck”. In the video below, you’ll see highlights of Day 3 at the SW Nationals from the break of dawn to the final shots on the 1000-yard line.

If you guys have time can you give a report on what spotting scopes are being used?
Editor: James — we saw everything from twin “Big-Eyes” for the wind coach on the power teams, to 15 year-old 25 Kowas used by the sling guys. I saw no particular models favored well above the rest. There were Swaros, Nightforce, Vortex, Zeiss, Nikon, Kowa, you name it.
Fourth picture up. The barrel looks like its got a new type barrel tuner with a level attached [just kidding]. Take it off and the load tune begins again.
