Remarks:
This was our CT State match of 2020. COVID-19 guidelines are still in effect. People had worn face masks and kept 6 feet separation. Hand sanitizer was available for people to use.
John Eroh donated 3 fixed blade knives as second place prizes for Hunter PCP, WFTF PCP and for 1st unlimited. 1st place received a silver dragon face plate and medal.
Match day was sunny warm with no wind when we first started. As the day went on, we got a lot of boiling mirage which made range finding very difficult and some light wind towards the end of the match.
Paul Cray shot the match high 56. John had severe back aches after shooting the standing lane and decided not to continue shooting but kept score for Paul.
For open class, Chas D. and Brian V. tied but the positional lanes were the tie breaker. Brian had scored 1 point better on the standing lane.
After the match, pizza was served for lunch and then the awards were handed out.
I thank Ron for lending his property for the match and all of the shooters who attended and helped clean up afterwards.
Another big thank you to Bill Day who donated two Benjamin Discovery air rifles to CAGC. We will use these as loaner rifles for anyone who wants to try out field target.
Hope to see all of you next year.
