FIELD TARGET MATCH REPORT
Falls Township Rifle & Pistol Assn.
October 18, 2020
Submitted by Rick Bassett
Well after cancelling an indoor match and two outdoor matches in the spring we finally got a field target match in. The weather was just a little cool but otherwise perfect for a match with almost no wind on our wooded lakeside course that also doubles as the club’s 3-D archery course. Larry did his usual fine job designing another different and interesting course. This time he was able to increase the average target distance to a little over 33 yards while still keeping the Troyer down in the 28 range. This was accomplished by using some of our older Nok Down targets mixed in with the other numerous types of targets in our inventory. Kill zone sizes ranged from 5/8” to as large as 1 ¾” for the longer shots. This slightly different approach didn’t seem to change the scoring much as can be seen in the scores posted below. Brian VanLiew had the high match score only missing three targets, one in the standing lane ( his practice paid off there!), one elevated shot , and finally one very long shot. Very fine shooting! The next closest shooter was Leo Gonzales at four targets behind with his TX 200. Also pretty good shooting. If anyone would like our course layout just let me know and I will get you a copy.
Thank you to all the shooters who came out and attended our match and for everyone behaving in a responsible manner in these somewhat scary times. Thanks also to the archers for taking the day off and to all of our helpers. Our final match of the year will be the third Sunday in November.
