Swelter Benchrest Series at DeSoto Gun Club.   Today's 25 meter event brought out six  participatants.    Temperatures started in the low 80’s but rose to 88 F with 90% humidity by the end of the match.  Although winds were light – mostly 1-2 mph with a few gusts to 5 mph – they were highly variable, swinging between 9 o’clock and 2 o’clock.   Some shooters adjusted for wind on each shot.  Others waited for just the right conditions.  All competitors shot “heavy rifle” class per USARB guidelines.</FONT></div> <bR> <div> Scores were high, and competition was fierce but friendly.  Eight target cards (out of a total of 18 for the 6 shooters) scored <U>248 or higher</U> !  Just 4 points separated first and fourth place.  Chip W. – our event Top Gun – shot his first ever 250-point Perfect Card.  Chip’s overall 745 score edged out second place Dennis D. by just one point.   Dennis took the X-Prize scoring 43 bulls.  </div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="1"
