December 14 Club Match
Happy Holidays to All. Special Thanks to our host range for their continuing support throughout 2014. DeSoto Gun Club authorized the purchase of some additional airgun targets and a new lithium drill for string winding. As for turnout, an even dozen shooters competed today, ( One for each of the 12 Days of Christmas ?) The day was near perfect. Sweater weather during sight-in. Bright Sun, blue skys, warming temps in the 70's by match time with low humidity and gentle wind. One of those " Top 10 Days" you get in Southwest Florida.
The field target course was set as a 48 shot, 8 lane match with a pretty good spread of target distances and "KillZone" sizes. Lane 7 was designated offhand from atop our airline boarding ramp. While it's never easy shooting from that fixture, it is becoming a favorite of many competitors. ( FYI no one cleaned that lane today).
We had a good mix of both springer and pcp shooters competing in every category: Hunter, WFTF, and Open Field Target. Results and Equipment matrix follows: No tie breakers were shot.
