Bench Rest 25 M Club Match
A turn-out of 8 Airgunners filled the benches at DeSoto Gun Club for another 25 Meter Club Match. Noticeably absent today was Jack R. who is recouping from a fracture and we wish him a speedy recovery. We look forward to Jack joining us again in the new year for lots more Airgun Fun. Colin P. generously passed on shooting today and volunteered to Marshal the event. All ran safely and smoothly. Thanks Colin !
The match consisted of 75 scored bull's and followed USARB Regulations for Time and for Scoring of the three card relay. Dennis D. was our Top Gun for the day, shooting 743 points with 31 X's. That's an excellent score, specially since there were occasional light puffy winds punctuated by stiffer gusts which would cause everyone to "hold their fire" for a short period as the gusts passed through the range.
A couple folks at the range observed our activities and had several questions after the match. Possible new shooters next time ?
Thanks Again to everyone who pitched in with the chores; ( including but not limited to the set-up, sign-in, scoring, the take down and other etcetera). Many hands make light work.
Next month (after what seems like an endless Summer in Southwest Florida), we'll be hosting a 40 shot Field Target match. We close out 2018 with a special 50Yard Bench Rest Match scheduled for December 9th.
