( see photo below)    The vintage 6 foot alligator target developed some mechanical problems but we were able to work around it.  Dick O. ( <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#3366FF" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="http://fieldtargets.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://fieldtargets.com"><U>FieldTargets.com</U></A></FONT>) offered to refurbish that classic

enjoyable; low humidity, bright Sun with temps that rose from low 60 to around 80 degrees by afternoon.   A  steady 8 to 10 MPH Easterly wind was spiked with gusts to 22 MPH making for comfortable yet challenging conditions.  Using lane timers kept the match moving along though  it may have forced a shooter to take the shot even when the wind didn't cooperate. </div> <bR> <div> After the match and award ceremony most of the participants enjoyed a fun luncheon at a local Mexican restaurant.  It's always enlightening to hear about those missed shots; the targets that <I>should</I> have fallen,  the wind that <I>suddenly</I> changed direction just as the trigger sear broke, and even the need to<I> practice</I> those forced position shots for the next event.  As for this shooter, <I>I have an excuse for every pellet in my tin</I> !</div> <bR> <div> <B>You can see an album of 2013 Fl State Match photos by</B> <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#33FFFF" FACE="Arial" ><A
