 Phenomenal Shooting ! </div> <bR> <div> Also of note in the Piston Division......Dick Otten.....dedicated long time field target enthusiast achieved a FIRST PLACE effort with a score of 22.  Dick reminded me this was his best placing in any piston event since 1999.  Enjoy your well earned glory Dick ! </div> <bR> <div> Just to review this game...as in golf... low score wins.    Up to three shots are allowed in attempt to knock the target down.</div> <div> Miss all 3 shots at the target and you score a 4.  Hit on your third shot, score a 3; hit on your second shot, score a 2;  </div> <div> hit  on your first shot, a "hole in one",  you score it a 1..<I>AND</I>, you'll have the option of taking another shot at </div> <div> that same target.   If you kill it again you are scored a "0"  for that target.  However, if you miss on that second shot, </div> <div> you score a 2 for that target.   This risk -  reward factor becomes a big part of the game.   Knowing which target </div> <div> to "double up on" can sometimes be key to winning a golf scored match. <I> [Donovan chose all of them.] </I></div> <bR> <div> There were enough (apparently) "easy" targets that even the most conservative of shooters were tempted to take</div> <div>  that second shot after a good first shot.  As we all know even the simple ones are never a  sure thing.  There was </div> <div> agony across the face of several shooters  after missing a "gimme", specially when their score ballooned from a </div> <div> potential zero to a 2 when they missed their elected second shot. </div> <bR> <div> A fun time was had by all and  I would suggest that other Field Target Clubs give this unique twist to Field Target Shooting a try. </div> <bR> <div> <B>MATCH  RESULTS:</B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="3" CELLPADDING="3" CELLSPACING="2" WIDTH="535" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" ALIGN="LEFT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 19 WIDTH="154"><div> Name</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="80"><div> Rifle</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="84"><div> Scope</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="82"><div> Pellet</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="77"><div>  Score </div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 19 ><NOBR><div>      <I><B>PRECHARGE:</B></I></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="80"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="19" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="80" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="84"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="19" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="84" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="82"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="19" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="82" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="77"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="19" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="77" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 20 ><NOBR><div> <B>Donovan Taylor</B></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="80"><div> <B>USFT</B></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> Sightron III  50</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="82"><div> JSB-H</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div>  <B> 0   !
