Last scheduled match of 2024!
The threat of cold weather quickly evaporated and the guys that came out enjoyed near perfect weather, Bill even took his sweatshirt off halfway through the match!
I just got my rifle back from the Worlds that morning, and it was absolutely caked with fine sand and dust, no way was I shooting that, so I grabbed a spare Steyr and the wrong pellets, unfortunately it took me six lanes to realize I wasn't using the right ones, and a quick walk up the hill to grab my FX pellets and voila, my rifle was shooting great again, just too late for a decent score.
Bill shot with Jim, and whilst they weren't the fastest shooters of the day, Bill did come up with the best score of the day, while we waited Chris and Grant shot the tank (possibly the hardest, or second hardest on the course) off hand, well I thought it would be fun... well that didn't work so they both shot the Invicta horse off hand and Grant won that shootoff.
Weather has been a blessing to us this year, only had to cancel one or two, lets hope next year will be kind to us too!
There is a chance we could have a bonus match in December if the weather allows, so keep your eyes peeled for any news!
Thank you to everyone who came out and made the club fun, thats the whole point of it, bad score or not, its worth coming out to play, and also a big thanks to Brad Troyer, who came out early and gave the course the TLC needed for everyone to have fun!
God Bless
