Remarks:
A very big thank you for those who attended Rockville’s second air gun field target match. We had 13 people attend the match. We at RFG were glad to see shooters coming from CT and MA. For COVID-19 compliance, people wore masks when 6 feet separation was not possible, and we had hand sanitizer available. To keep people hydrated, bottled water was available and donuts as well.
For this cloudy day, the wind changed directions and swirled in the open field police range.
An easy rated difficulty course was arranged for this very first field target match with all full-sized kill zones.
We had limited practice area allowing only 4 people at one time to sight in their rifles. The rest of the area was taken up by the 9 lanes for the match. After sighting in, three people at a time went to shoot the open lanes. We had the typical one standing and one kneeling lane.
One person almost cleaned the course but missed two points.
We had only two cold lines this time around and everything went smoothly.
When the last person handed their score card in, it took several minutes to clean up the police range with the help from the people who stayed.
Hope to see people next year.
