Just a quick note as I am entering today's scores in airgunshoot.com . Thanks for the kind words, we really appreciate everyone that came out and shot. Especially the out of state shooters, I know what a time commitment it is to travel to a GP in a different time zone.

Our goal was to have a tough but fun course that could be enjoyed by shooters of any skill level. However, the best course in the world is pointless without good shooters, and we had great shooters this weekend. If you enjoyed it, bring a friend next year. We are already scheming for the next ROT, it will have even more cowbell!

Here's a little eye candy to tide you over while I get back to data entry. Maggyye looks as tired as I feel.

Thanks,
Scott

Now that I have the scores entered, I can tell you that the lowest percentage non-positional targets today were the longer targets (Lane 1, far on lane 3, near on lane 15). Due to the swirly and gusty winds, that checks out. The kneeling lane was a struggle today, which is odd because it was pretty standard (1 inch at 22 yards, 1.5 inch at 35 yards).

Yesterday the pole target on 13 and the elevated owl target on 3 were the struggle targets. Kneeling was also tough yesterday, but the targets were tougher and hard to see if you chose to stand.
