(2nd place with 21) were the only shooters to clean the kneeling lane today.    Freddie P. (shooting WFTF -Piston Div. ) was sensational with his TX200 springer.   His score of 22 strokes tied  Donovan T. who took  WFTF – PcP Division honors.     Impressive scores for a challenging course.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> I'm always delighted when new shooters join in.    Of the day's 16 competitors, about half were new to our unique “Golf Scored” FT game.  We also had a couple newbie Field Target shooters on the lanes.  This wide scope of experience is reflected in the range of final scores.   </div> <bR> <div> Arnold Palmer said: <I> “</I><I>Golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated.</I><I>”</I> .    Sounds a lot like Field Target to me.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> Here are the final results and equipment matrix:</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="1" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="900" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 31 ><NOBR><div> <B>Score</B></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <B>Competitor</B></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="132"><div> <B>Rifle</B></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="122"><div> <B>Scope</B></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="112"><div> <B>Pellet</B></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="117"><div> <B>Division </B></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="218"><div> <B>Notes</B></div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 21 WIDTH="52"><div> 14</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="107"><div> Gary  P.</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> RAW  HM1000</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> Hawke 10-50</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="112"><div> JSB  10.3</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="117"><div> Open- PCP</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="218"><div>  1st Place Open</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 19 WIDTH="52"><div> 21</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="107"><div> Dennis  D.</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> RAW  TM1000</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> Sightron 10-50</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="112"><div> JSB  13.4</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="117"><div> Open- PCP</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="218"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="19" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="218" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 21 WIDTH="52"><div> 22</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> Freddie  P.</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="132"><div> TX200</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> Bushnell 8-32</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="112"><div> JSB  8.4</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> WFTF -Piston</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div>  1st Place WFTF -
