April 13th
Another match with the threat of rain with ominous dark clouds looming over for the entire match, but did not get any rain. However, there was strong winds with gusts over 20 mph throughout the entire match. And the wind was always changing directions. Temperatures were in the 40's and low 50's during the match. The forecast may have kept shooters home, plus we had a few club shooters make the trip to Baton Rouge for Bayou Airgun Club's annual match. Hear it is a great match. We had six shooters that risked a rain out. Ron Jobbes set the 12 lane 48 shot course. In Hunter class, Tim Robinson, shooting his Steyr Challenger, shot a 34 beating Al Padilla who split the match with his Air Arms EV2 and S500. Ron tested his newly acquired CZ 200 and shot a 27 as the lone PCP Open shooter. Cy Fernandez as the lone shooter in Open Springer and shooting his Diana D54, shot a 16. Still working on his numbers. In Freestyle PCP with two shooters, Jon Wagner, with his Steyr LG110, came away with first with a score of 45. Had a clean match going into the last two lanes but a well-timed, "Cold Line" iced him like a field goal kicker trying to kick a game winning field goal causing him to miss his next shot and throwing him off the last lane. Way to go Tim. Better luck next match Jon. He did end up besting Rick Rogers by one and coming away with top match shooter, so a little consolation. Great shooting everyone, see you at the next match.
