What a great shoot, for some. ;)
Well organized and well run as seems the norm int the N.E. League.

What really stood out on the course were two details.
First , strings were held to the lane markers by captive hooks.
Secondly, timers at each lane similarly held by zip ties on captive hooks .

Simple details that made the shooting less stressful.
Well done guys.

Hello everybody 😊

So yesterday I attended my first Field Target event (just a spectator) and despite the cool misty rain, and variable/swirling breeze, the camaraderie and hospitality were warm and inviting.

I would like to extend a special thank you to Geoffrey and Dave for organizing the event as well as for having a club so close to my home (lucky for me). Also, thank you to Leo for the introduction and warm welcome to the club. I believe John (perhaps others?) is the resident artist and painted some beautiful targets… a shame they get marked up from pellet strikes (an incentive to only hit the impact/kill zone).

There were out of state participants from New Jersey, Rhode Island, Connecticut and Maine. Competition was strong and I was impressed by “sharpshooter” Karen who had the high score of the day… not a surprise as I don’t think I saw her miss a shot while I watching each of the competitor pairs shoot.

Thank you for the welcoming comradery, playful banter, air gun topics, heated discussions about Excel spreadsheets and calculations… just to name a few things.

Glad you enjoyed watching the match. Now all you need to do is to tune your Wildcat down to 20fpe and shoot Hunter class. Or, just dive in and get a dedicated .177 FT rig. That would be the more fun option!!

Hope to see you at another match.
