Ammohead has it I think, this is more of a in person postal match where we have all got together and BS'd in between runs.
Pure stinking luck is wonderful, let me tell ya. What could be more pure luck than borrowing a rifle and 5 rounds of ammo and shooting sub inch groups on two separate occasions? Sure, I know how to pull triggers like everyone else but the odds of duplicating a borrowed rifle win are pretty long indeed.
Postal matches with a BBQ and company such as I have met in the past at NCBS cannot be measured in miles or acres nor can it be weighed to the grain such as can be done with "match ammo" and a sub inch group can be whiffed away by a wisp of wind or sighted wrong via a sandy mirage. Luck and timing and good company all come together in gathering in those Golden WW's. Only the good company matters in the real measure of a NCBS to me.
The Golden WW's are but a bonus, the goal is to be among friends.
