Never !</div> <bR> <div> W<FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#FFCC66" FACE="Arial" >ith temps reaching into the 80's,  a blue sky,  wispy clouds and light wind puffs,  it was a terrific day for a golf outing or a Field Target shoot.   At  DeSoto Airgunners we combine the fun and frustrations of both sports in our unique Golf Scored Field Target Event.   A Field Target match where (like golf) the low score wins.  Today's (GSFT) match attracted 15 competitors including a couple returning 'snowbird' shooters .</FONT></div> <bR> <div> For 2021 we revised some rules of the game to amplify the Risk – Reward aspect of play.  Adding a unique Stroke Eliminator target afforded each shooter an opportunity to improve (lower)  their stroke totals while testing their marksmanship and weighing their risk aversion.  Today's course was set out across  8 lanes with  three targets per lane.  The  bonus Stroke Eliminator target was also located on Lane 8.   Lane 7 was designated off-hand only. </div> <bR> <bR> <div>  </div> <div> Our  Top Gun - FT Golfer  was Oscar V.  finishing the course with a phenomenal low score of 1.  Yes, one stroke total!  Oscar was one of only 3 shooters to successfully bag a 3-point reduction from the bonus target.  He was on fire; literally Aceing every First Shot, then downing most of the Option Shots  he chose to take..... even offhanders!  Very  Impressive  Shooting
