Howdy all
Well I made it 2 days helping out at EBR. I live in Phoenix but I don’t often spend all day outside on a hot day now that I am retired and I felt it, after 2 days I’m crispy.
Thursday was hot and the winds were the usual October swirling winds. The desert heating up, the surrounding mountains and the berms around the range tend to make the wind dance. Friday it heated up which whipped up the winds even more. The first group of 50 yd shooters had the worst winds with some considering it a comedic event, while other found it more frustrating. As the day went on the winds settled down but the temps went up. By the time the first group of 75 yd shooters drew aim the winds were navigational and scoring seemed to improve. AoA and Daystate along with a slew of other vendors laid out quite the smorgasbord of airguns and airgun related accessories for the raffle. Ride a Bucking Bull the longest win a $1,700.00 Tag Watch.
I was just one of many volunteers helping, I would urge everyone to volunteer to help your club or at a nearby event. Many of the volunteers also shot in matches so volunteering to help doesn’t mean you can’t shoot too.

I still have 15 targets to go….cocking that rifle, loading, aiming and shooting 15 times in 5 minutes was hard. Just pick a hold off and use it for the remaining targets….Yeah I didn’t take as much time each shot on the next card……No idea when we find out how we did, but I can’t remember ever shooting and shaking my head so much
Wish I were there. Glad you're having a good time. Looking forward to seeing results.
