FT Match 6-14-20
Our hosting venue ( DeSoto Gun Club ) had cancelled all organized weekend shoots for the months of April and May. June was the first since lock-down and safe distancing was on everyone's mind. Anticipating a toasty day, the match began about an hour earlier than usual.
Dennis directed the match emphasizing social distancing while reviewing the usual safety rules at the pre-match shooters meeting. Each participant was essentially marshalling themselves to keep potential Corona virus at bay.
The 8 lane 48 shot event included the usual 2 forced position lanes; kneeling and standing. Since we had a total of 6 shooters and 8 lanes it was easy to shoot "solo" on a lane. Jerry and John T. paired up for the match as John was shooting a loaner rifle (Jerry's Steyr 110). Everyone else shot solo.
Each shooter recorded their own scores. {No cheating was observed or reported.}
Dennis was our Top Gun with a score of 46. Doug A. shot well in WFTF (under 12 ft.lb) Division
Weather conditions: warm 80+, high humidity but not super oppressive (Summer is just around a short corner) There was a mild 3-5 mph ENE wind.
No safety or equipment issues were reported.
Linda was nice enough to take the pics posted here.
With the pandemic still a concern, we did not share a group lunch after the meet.
Next month: 25Meter benchrest match is scheduled. It should be more comfortable under cover and we can maintain safe distancing by skipping every other bench position. That means 4 shooters up at a time. We'll update as the event gets closer.
