Match Report June 6, 2021
Sherwood Airgunners had their second match of the 2021 field target season Sunday June 6, 2021. We had a very good turnout of 24 shooters on a beautiful early summer day. Temps reached the high 80's with some humidity and occasional wind thrown in. With the foliage in Sherwood Forest in full bloom with light rays breaking through the thick canopy, it made for a great field target environment.
With the match starting mid morning at 10:30 the temps quickly rose as the shooters felt the heat. With a fairly long course with 14 targets over 40 yards this course was sure to challenge the best of Ohio's field target shooters. As the day progressed I am happy to report I heard alot of encouraging words about the course and everyone was enjoying shooting at Sherwood. There was plenty of dark shadows with targets elevated in trees as well as down hill shots and some lanes that were very affected by wind.The Troyer rating was 30.7 before any other add ons were accounted for.
Before we get to the scores I want to mention we had a great representation of field target classes with all being represented but Open piston class. I also want to give a shout out to a few shooters that I know shot their personal best in the father son duo of Jamie and Lucas Marusiac. Great job guys...keep raising that bar! We had a new shooter Mike Campailla who shot in springer class and shot his first field target match...welcome Mike I know you learned alot from this first match.
So as the scores started rolling in we found out indeed the course was challanging. We had 5 shooters score over 50...3 in Hunter PCP and 2 in WFTF PCP.
Starting with our most popular division Hunter PCP, Jeff Little took top honors with a excellent score of 57 which also was the match high score. Right behind Jeff in 2nd place was Thomas Himes who we are use to seeing on top of the leader board shooting his Daystate Red Wolf. In 3rd place shooting his purple/silver Thomas FT carbine was Dave Hitchcock with a nice score of 53...great shooting guys!
In Hunter Piston we had 4 shooters up for that challange with Eric Jones slightly edging out his lane partner Vince Allessi by one shot! I'm sure there was some chirping going on on those last few lanes. Eric shot a 36 and Vince a 35. Great job guys on a challanging long course for a springer shooter.
In WFTF PCP we had 5 shooters with the always present Tyler Patner edging out Jeff Paddock for the win. Tyler shot a 55 with Jeff right on his heals with a 54. Worth mentioning is Lucas Marusiac shooting his personal best score of 47 with a little mentoring from Tyler. It's great seeing this kind of help in our sport with a experienced shooter helping out a younger shooter….great job guys!
Representing Open PCP we had 2 shooters with Ted Andro...aka UNCLE TED, taking the top honors. Ted is shooting a Air Arms S500 with a custom chassis stock to get the job done. Ted shot a very good 45.
Last but not least we had Dan Putz representing WFTF Piston and shot a respectable 36. This is a new class for Dan and he is doing a great job getting the kinks worked out.
In ending I just want to thank all the shooters for coming out supporting Sherwood Airgunners! I also want to thank Janice Himes for taking the great photos that she shared on our Facebook group page..great job Janice I appreciate you! I also want to mention the great group of guys we have contributing down at Sherwood,,Tom West,Dave Campbell, Carl Lucas, Doug Cunningham and Match Director Jeff Little. You guys are doing a great job!
