Match 2-09-20
Low humidity, refreshing breezes, bright Sun and temps between 55 and 75 degrees made for one of those “Top Ten " days in Southwest Florida. An array of Wind-flags and Windicators of all types were working hard today, spinning, pointing and blowing in what was a near constant breeze between 15 and 20 MPH . Gusts around 30 made it even more interesting, specially in the second relay. Considering wind conditions the scores were impressive. Four shooters broke through 700 points today.
The day's Club Match was shot in 2 relays. Per USARB rules each relay included three Target Cards with 25 scored targets each, and time limited to 20 minutes per card. Dennis D. took TopGun Honors . He bagged 248 of 250 possible points on one card and ended with a score of 730 and an impressive 20 X's. Corky T. had his rifle dialed in to finish in second place with a 719 points with 13 X's. Newcomer Steve G. managed a Third Place finish today.
Doug Cunningham, a veteran Field Target shooter from Ohio (and now a Florida SnowBird,) joined our group today. I'm sure he'll be attending a few more DeSoto Airgunner shoots this season. It was good to see Paul Stakun and Bill Liebke join us today after taking some time off.
Hardware Issues. A couple folks experienced some gun issues today. Bill Shade reported scope problems. He dropped out of the first relay to work the problem. Our kind and gentle match director allowed Bill to finish his 3 cards in the next relay. Linda McGee's rig blew a seal before completing her first target card. Rather than shoot a back-up rifle Linda graciously took on the role of scoring maven. She also instructed others interested in learning the art of benchrest scoring. Big Thanks to Linda and today's scoring team.
