Bench Rest Match 7-8-18
Sunday July 8th, DeSoto Airgunners hosted another in our Summer Swelter Bench Rest Series. This is the “rainy season” in Southwest Florida and we've been having some significant afternoon downpours. Flooding is a concern at the range but so far our venue remains dry. The morning started out sultry with expected high humidity and temps near 80 at Sunrise; typical for southwest Florida in July. An occasional light breeze made things slightly more acceptable. Many hands lightened the load and we had the range set and ready to shoot by 9:00 AM.
Our venue features 8 top notch concrete bench shooting stations. By match time we had 9 members present. Special Thanks to Jack R. who generously gave up his bench position and marshaled the event. All ran safely and smoothly without incident or protest. Thanks also to those who drove a considerable distance for the match; Donovan T. drove in from Ft. Lauderdale while Bill L. and Paul S. made the trek from Tampa. Stalwarts Jerry & Linda M. came down from Bradenton.
Today's match followed USARB Regulations. All shooters competed in the Heavy Varmint class. Each contestant shot three official target cards, each target card carefully timed, for a total of 75 scored shots. The day's Top Score honors went to Dennis D. with 745 points including an impressive 25X's. Dennis has been coming on strong with his new TM1000 rifle. Well Done.
Our next event will be a 50 Yard USARB Bench Rest Match; always a humbling experience.
