DIFTA Match Report Sunday, March 24, 2024
Eight shooters turned out for the opening match of the season. This was a 60-shot match with an average difficulty of 30.9 T, with six targets > 40T, six targets with 0.375”or 0.5” kill zones, and eleven targets at > 40 yards. The match started out sunny and windy, with below freezing temperatures, gradually warming up to 40° by the end of the match. Despite steady rain on Saturday, which caused the match to be postponed, the ground was frozen solid but turned into mud as the temperature climbed. The major challenges were frozen fingers, which made single shot loading a challenge, and variable winds with gusts above 10 mph.
The match high score of 46/60 was shot by Greg White in Hunter Division, followed by Scott Broom, with a tie between Tae Chung and Tom Strong. Mark King led WFTF, with a tie between Paolo Amadeo and Mike Beyerle.
