club match director I was happy to see that half our participants were shooting from bum-bags ( i.e. Open and WFTF Divisions)  and "only"  half were competing from their "bucket seats"  with bipods in what is now the very popular Hunter Division.  Some Field Target venues have seen ratios of 10 Hunters to every 1 Open Division competitor.</div> <bR> <div>      Before hitting the lanes today Gary organized a group photo sending  Get Well wishes to Cliff S.   Cliff is a longtime Field Target enthusiast and  supporter,  a former AAFTA officer, and founder of  Tampa Bay Airgunners, a club that held matches <I>every weekend for over a decade!</I></div> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <I><IMG SRC="9b5afe50.jpg" border=0 width="431" height="229" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0"

humidity.   It was one of those Top Ten days in Florida.   A steady 6 to 10 MPH wind was punctuated  by 18 to 25 MPH gusts which kept things interesting.  Detailed conditions can be found <FONT

unknowable and frustrating wind conditions.  No shooter cleaned today's  8 lane 48 shot challenge.   Ron G (Open Div) was our event Top Gun with a high score of 46 points while Scott A. led the Hunters with a score of 43.  Bob L, our only WFTF shooter today finished with a score of 41 in challenging conditions. </div> <bR> <div> The next match in Arcadia is scheduled for  May 10.  It's the final FT event at DeSoto before we shift attention to the Summer Swelter Benchrest Series.  </div> <bR> <bR> <div> Scores and Equipment Matrix:  4/12/26</div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2"
