My day started at 2am Saturday morning. I was on the road by 3 headed to Salem NY. After a couple of stops on the way for food and fuel I arrived at 7:30am to a line of vehicles and shooters already setting up their benches for the first relay of the day to start at 8am sharp. Thankfully Todd started me on the second relay at 8:40 so I had plenty of time to register, get prepped shoot the breeze and meet some new shooters.
I'll be the first to tell you that BR isn't my primary shooting sport. That being said while I have aspirations and goals I know winning won't happen to often and I'm ok with that.................for now. So while my scores weren't spectacular I did reach my goal of shooting a 240+ outdoors. It happened on my first card of the HV relays that afternoon. The score was 240 5x and I can't be happier with it,.......well,......sort of, but hats a topic for the future.
With the end of the day's shooting we moved into the clubhouse for the final scores and awards for HV followed by the raffle. Each registered shooter had their name put into the raffle which was drawn at random. The prizes were a Sightron and Aztec scope. An assortment of BKL rings, Sports Match rings, four sleeves of pellets and a few other items all donated by various manufacturers and distributors. As each name is drawn that shooter is allowed to pick whichever item they wanted from the prize table. The names would be drawn until all the prizes were gone.
Having never won a raffle in my life I had no expectations of getting anything from this one and even had my chair turned away from the drawing. I was so tuned out that it took Todd almost yelling my name to get my attention. I had first pick! This is what I chose:
A Sightron SIII 10-50x60 FTIRMOA scope. I'm still a bit shocked that such a thing could happen.
I want to thank Todd Banks, John French, Ken Hicks, His lovely wife who's name I can't recall, Sightron, AOA, JSB Predator Intl., BKL, Pyrami\yd Air and all the others who's names I can't remember helped to make this shoot possible. Great job and great event.
