It worked! 

The morning started with Matt Sawyer setting up the site in line, while I mounted targets for the standing lane, ran a few strings and cleared a few branches. With the finishing touches done I headed to the site in. I was happy to see four new shooters, all local, 9 total. After about 30 minutes of siting in the shooters meeting was held then we were off to the course.

A few cold lines were called during the match for interfering branches and a caught string or two. It seems the forest feels a need to participate as well.

As the match wound down and scores were tallied it was obvious no one, not even the MD's had shot the course. Regrdless the smiles were big and guarantees of a return next month were unanimous. The best part, the new shooters were asking which guns, scopes, and accessories were more appropriate for the game.

Of course, the scores:

Chas DiCapua: Open PCP, 62/68 TM 1000 .177

John Eroh: WFTF PCP, 56/68 Thomas FT Carbine .177

Matt Sawyer: WFTF PCP, 48/68 FWB P70 .177

Greg S: WFTF PCP, 23/68 Daystate Redwolf LPR? .177

Matt Brackett: 55/68 Leach TX200 .177

Leo Gonzales: 50/68 TX200 .177

Martin Truszkowski: 28/68 TX200 .177

Rick ?: Unlimited, 5/36(left early) Air Ventura/Seneca Aspen .177

Jackson?: Unlimited, 1/36(left early) Daisy Powerline 853 .177

I'd like to thank everyone who attended. Without you this doesn't happen. Next months match is Saturday, April 30th. I hope to see everyone there.

Thanks for the match report, John. I like the inclusion of a video!

I had another great time - the course is tough, but it's always made to feel easier with the really upbeat atmosphere that you and Matt S. set. It was great to see the enthusiasm of the new shooters - I hope we set the hook in them and that we see them again soon

I'm going to be very interested to see how the personality of the course changes as the woods fill in further into the season. I'm proud of all our work - especially yours and Matt's!!

 I had a fun time shooting the new course after all of the hard work that was put into it.

I will be back soon for another try at it in another few weeks.

It will be a completely different course when the leaves have grown over and making every lane a lot darker and sheltered from the wind.
