FT Match 01-09-22
Our first event of the 2022 calandar year attracted 13 competitors to today's Field Target club match. Course setup included 8 lanes; with 3 targets per lane.
The match included two forced position lanes: Lane 6 was designated a Kneeling Lane, followed by an Off-Hand Lane (7). To add a little more excitement, variety and difficulty, the offhand shots were taken from atop our elevated airplane boarding ramp (or at ground level).
Our vintage boarding ramp Leo D. Taking careful aim from atop the ramp.
The course featured an entertaining mix of targets with a good spread of Troyer difficulties across the lanes; among them the Ghost Gator and a tree mounted Owl target.
After a week of record 80+ degree days a light overcast kept the temps in check. Winds began to pick up early in the match. A relatively consistant 7 to 12 mph wind was punctuated by gusts blowing more than double that. This added a little more challenge to a moderately difficult Field Target course.
Top Gun honors go to Gary P. who bagged 42 of the 48 possible points. Scott A. and Jerry M. tied for Hunter High Score. Leo D was the sole Piston shooter today.
