We were able to squeeze a match in between rainstorms and were just below the snow level. But it was cold with temperatures starting at 36 degrees. Warmed up a bit as the day went on, with an occasional wind. We had 12 shooters for the match with a few other shooters staying on the practice range. Ron Jobbes, Range Master, set the 12 lane 48 shot course. Lane 2 was kneeling and lane 6 was standing. Had a new shooter, Mark Rudge, shooting a Daystate. He shot a 17 for his first match. Good start and welcome to the club. Vince Pacheco, shooting his other Artimis P15, was the only shooter to clean the standing lane. Three shooters cleaned kneeling: John Knapp (Steyr LG110), Kelly Hawe (Daystate Redwolf), and Rick Rogers (Steyr LG110). We had a 1-inch target at over 50 yards on one of the lanes, exceeding the AAFTA maximum 45-yard distance for 1-inch targets, but a few shooters were able to hit it despite the distance and shadows that caused visibility issues. Good challenge. Top shooter in Hunter class was Vince Pacheco with a score of 43. In Open, Kelly Hawe was top shooter also with a 43. In freestyle, Rick Rogers was top shooter with a score of 37. Top shooters for the match were Vince and Kelly with their 43s. Great match gentlemen. Thanks to all for coming out.

Clear skies with a temperature around 50 degrees for the whole match and strong winds from start to finish. Ron Jobbes, Range Master, did a good job of clearing the lanes of all the grass. Thanks! We had a total of 8 shooters in Hunter, WFTF, and Freestyle. A few other shooters stayed on the practice range and shot with some new shooters. Ron set the 12 lane 48 shot course. Lane 2 was kneeling and lane 6 was standing. Only shooter to clean the forced lanes was the lone Freestyle shooter, Rick Rogers shooting his Steyr LG110. Ron had issues with his gun and did not shot today (hope this is not turning into a trend). Vince Pacheco shot a newly acquired Artimis P15 and had issues with consistency and could not get it dialed in. Al Padilla is working on trying to solve issues with his Air Arms S500 and borrowed a Steyr LG110 for the match (should have paid attention to the air gauge). Top shooters in Hunter class were John Knapp, shooting his USFT, and Thane Thayer, shooting his USTF, both had scores of 37. In freestyle, Rick Rogers was top shooter for the match with a score of 42. Great match gentlemen. Thanks to all for coming out.
