Eight shooters turned out for a steamy match at DIFTA. During the course of the match temps climbed from the high 80s to the low 90s and, as far as I know, for the first time shooters greeted the wind with sighs of relief, accepting that the cooling breeze came with the challenge of adjusting aim points. DIFTA is surrounded by farm land and shooters near lanes 11-12 witnessed nature at work, with a coyote chasing down a fawn deer for an early lunch! Due to the tree canopy, some lanes were dark, but overall ,we had reasonable shooting conditions for summer in MD.
We welcomed a new FT shooter, David Floyd, who got expert advice from his squad mate Greg White. After a 2 year hiatus, Antoni Kleczek, a Junior joined us, and we hope that both he and David will shoot at DIFTA again.
The match high score was again taken by Greg White in Hunter Division, followed by Tinh Nguyen who led an unusually large group of Open Division shooters.
At the end of the match we took an informal vote on whether the match design at DIFTA was too difficult and everyone agreed that despite the challenge we should continue with our current target selection. So be it!
As always many thanks to those who travel long distances to compete and keep our sport alive
Mark Mayer acted as match Director.
The next match at DIFTA is on Saturday August 3.
