(sorry).  Shooters remarked that the course had a very enjoyable and challenging  mix of  "kill zone" sizes,  target placements and shooting distances.   Of the total of 10  participants,  six shot Hunter ( 3 piston and 3 precharge rifles).  Two  shot  Open Class pcp, and there were two WFTF shooters;  one a piston and one a precharge shooter.</div> <bR> <div> At this time of year we can get some wide temperature swings in Southwest Florida.   The day started cloudy in the Low 50's  during morning set-up and rose to the mid 80's by the end of the match (around 2:15PM)  A manageable wind of 6 mph was punctuated with occasional gusts to near 20MPH as the weak front cleared around noon  bringing some brilliant ( and warm) sunshine.   Shedding clothing layers was the way to go today.</div> <bR> <div> Among today's 10 shooters was a complete new comer to Field Target.  Tim Gross was familiar with airguns but never saw a Field Target match.  He came only to observe but was soon hooked.  With a shared TX200 and some help from his squad Tim shot a very decent score of 18.  Perhaps he'll soon become a regular.  </div> <bR> <div> My Hearty Thanks for all those who made the trek to participate; and a Special Thanks to Neil and  to Herb for arriving very early and helping with the course set-up.  No single match director can make this much fun happen without enthusiastic volunteers.</div> <bR> <div> The results and equipment matrix follows:</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="3" CELLPADDING="3" CELLSPACING="2" WIDTH="582" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0"
