The March Field Target match at ASC saw another beautiful day of shooting. Temperatures were mild, wind was a little swishy, but overall a great day to be outside.
To prepare for the Cajuns match coming up, the course was set to "Grand Prix" on the difficulty dial. Scores reflected this with Art W. taking HOA and Hunter division with a 45 of 60. Stan K drove from Arkansas to win the WFTF division. Heath W. beat the piston shooters in both WFTF and Hunter. Open class was a tie between Craig and Scott. Caroline M. was the high lady and tied Jeff for 2nd in WFTF division. 17 shooters shot the rifle match (Jerry had an equipment issue and DNF’ed). Timers were used to help practice for Cajuns and it felt like things progressed smoothly. We had two cold lines, one for a string that got stuck on a target and one for a target that shifted and was not level enough for proper operation.
One interesting statistic about the rifle match was the far target on lane four. This was a black scorpion with a one inch kill zone that was placed in front of a black backdrop at 41 yards. Everyone had at least one miss on this target.
After the rifle match, lunch was eaten and lies were told. The biggest lie was when I told Jeff it would take 20 minutes to switch the course for the pistol match. It took a little longer than that, but we got it done.
Four of us stuck around after the delicious sandwiches provided by Jeff to shoot the pistol match. This was again a very testy and testing course (34.8 Troyer) with 60 shots to practice for the upcoming GP. The birds were singing, the pellets were thumping and Scott and Jeff were talking - for the entire match. This was pointed out to us by Ron, who is apparently going to take up golf so he can get some peace and quiet with his outdoor recreation.
Despite the audio handicap, Ron won the pistol match with a nice 49. Jeff shot a 54, but he was not shooting a legal power level for a pistol match so he was placed in the "fun" category. (This is the first time Jeff has been accused of being fun).
Eight of the thirty targets were cleaned by everyone, which is surprising since I was shooting in the match.
As usual, Ron and Jim C. helped put the targets away afterwards. Thanks to them and to everyone that chose to spend this lovely day with us. Our next match will be April 27th.
