I did my third 2-day event last weekend in Norman, Oklahoma. Helped son and 2 friends get the patch with 22s. It was another very enjoyable weekend with like-minded people. I got the patch years ago in Davilla, TX with score of 234 with a scoped 10/22.

Lingering car wreck injuries kept me from being able to do what I wanted to in prone position this time, so I shot most of the ATQ prone positions kneeling. I was shooting a scoped AR in 223 - which is much more challenging than with 22LR. The time limits of 55 and 65 seconds are much tougher when having to recover from the centerfire's recoil to get back on target. The best I was able to do on Saturday was a 180 and inched up to only a 201 on Sunday. But still learned some new things while running over 350 rounds thru my "beater" AR and got to spend real quality time with great people.

A handful of us walked over to the "long distance" range for about an hour Sunday afternoon. There was no formal shooting on paper there, but did get to ping some gongs.
