FT Match 12-13-20
After a few match cancelations due to pandemic or severe weather this year it was great to be on the Field Target lanes again on what was forecast to be one of those “Top 10 Florida Days”. It came pretty close. Some elevated humidity crept in as the Sun began to warm the day. After all - This is Florida. Otherwise, very low wind, sunny sky, tolerable humidity and shooting with some friends; That's a Top 10 day anywhere!
Today's 48 shot Field Target course was spread over 8 lanes including a Standing and a Kneeling lane. We had a total of nine shooters. Six “Hunters” and three “Open Division” competitors. Dennis was the Top Gun (Open Div) scoring 45 of possible 48 points. Linda won Top Hunter honors with a score of 38. WELL DONE !
Something New: At the conclusion of today's FT Match we gathered under a big shade oak to shoot some informal air pistol silhouette. A couple folks were entirely new to this form (this scale) of silhouette shooting. I think they liked it.
As the last of the Field Targets were being stored, Doug, Gary and Dennis shot a 40 target silhouette match. Gary was our Top Pistoleiro with a score of 29, a single point higher score over Dennis. Taking his defeat in stride, Dennis was heard uttering “More practice is indicated”!
