BCSA (Binghamton, NY) - July 9th, 2022 Match Report
The 3rd Match of 2022 at Broome County Sportsmens Association (BCSA) is in the books….and what another awesome day! This is basically the same conditions as our last match. For match time, the weather started out near 60 degrees with light wind around 5 - 7mph. The day finished with temps around 75 with wind gusts to near 15 mph! Most of those gusts were during the pistol /10m / practice match which made things very interesting, especially for the low powered shooters. Sunshine….shadows….lots of smiling faces….and yet another awesome day!!
Thursday after work, my wife Pat and I went down and trimmed and mowed to get a jump on match preparation. Friday came, and Pat and I met Bill Campbell and Louis Hopewell around noon to get the targets all set. We went lane by lane and set the 5 targets in each lane, 3 rifle targets and 2 pistol/10m targets. Within a few hours time, the course was set! Many thanks to Bill and Louis for helping out, greatly appreciated.
As is our usual routine, Pat and I arrived at the range around 6:00 am to start pulling strings and put the final touches on the field target range. After finishing pulling strings, we headed over to set the sight-in range.
Due to prior commitments, family vacations and such, we had 12 competitors for the day. Stephan and Karen made a return trip to BCSA and also first timers to our range were brothers Trevor and Thom Davies! Thom is a regular at the Oklahoma City Gun Club made the longest trip of the day! Ok, he was actually visiting his brother in Pennsylvania and they made the drive up from there in order to spend the day with us. Welcome! Hopefully Trevor will be joining us more often!
The course of fire was 10 lanes with 3 targets per lane. 2 shots per target with the shooting order being left, middle, right. There was also the usual 1 standing lane and 1 kneeling lane. The stats for the days 60 shot course are as follows:
We had one quick cold line due to one of the key rings partially blocking the KZ. Just a quick slight rotation and all was well! The string getting caught up on the Egrets foot is still no longer an issue! The fix is still working perfectly.
This month, Trevor Davies took Match high honors for the day with a 42 in Hunter PCP followed right behind was his brother Thom with a 39. Right behind Thom was Tom Wade with a 38 and Chuck Senkus rocking his new Daystate Red Wolf to a 37! Tight race there! Karen topped Stephan by 1 point this time around. Pretty sure that little side battle will continue next month!
