Results SVFTC .... October Field Target MATCH REPORT

8)
What a great year it has been for the Sacramento Valley Field Target Club ! Tho we got rained out for our start up in March moving our first match to April we were able to have our Monthly matches as scheduled. This match is our traditional seasons end and with that we put on a pretty killer event !!

Being we're into fall the suns up a tad later and some of the crew converge a bit before 8am gathering up all the gear & moving it on out to range #9
More help arrives rather quickly so we get a very speedy set up done, practice target paper & Quads are all out before the 9 o'clock hour ... Nice job guys !

Today's match is 15 lanes with *2 targets per for a base of 60 points, with *3 targets set on the offhand/kneeling lane #11 making for a 62 point potential match.
We ended up setting out a 3/8" and a 1/2" to really test everyone as well having a real stinker side by side at 55 yards having 1 1/4" next to a 1 7/8". The difficult value on that smaller target an Expert level 49.5 Troyer ! Post match survey it had just 2 shooters hit / get it twice.
As is typical when we 3 target the offhand lane, we allow one target to be taken kneeling if the shooter is inclined.

Today we had also per-anounced that a Club Swap meet would happen as well keeping it for after the match & during lunch.

Swap meet had several rifles, Scopes, rings, Air tanks and a Shoebox F10 among other misc items ... Stuff found new homes & some did not .. such is a swap meet.

In closing I personally WISH TO THANK all of our shooters who came to matches threw out the summer even if you made just 1 match or all of them, for without your participation the club would not continue to grow and prosper. THANK YOU ALL !!


The 2025 season for the SVFTC will continue to be held at the same location and same range #9 being held on the 4th Sunday of each month @ March till October. A formal date list will be posted later and any special activities etc included.

Until next season .. Stay well, practice that marksmanship and tell your shooting buddies what a good time we have inviting them to join us sometime.

Hey Scott, it was a great season and great fun. A pretty good core of folks stepped up this year and assumed roles large and small to help which is great. A lot of small chores add up to one big match. As you point out, help needs to be limited at set up to maintain control however I think there are more able minds/able bodies willing to roll up their sleeves, get dusty and experience the fun of setting up a course. Maybe next season we can double the effort by splitting the field in half, one team sets up lanes 1 through 8, the other team sets up lanes 9 through 15! Yes? Designate a couple of team leaders. I'll volunteer to be one. However we do it, I think everyone recognizes that without you, your resources and your work in front of and behind the scenes these matches would not be what they are. I think next season will be just as good or better. Lotta good, close scores this match. Folks are shooting better and better.

And Sam, you were a star with your pulled pork style squirrel! Awesome, generous treat for everyone. Thanks man!

BTW, who were the shooters who got both 49.5 Troyer stinker shots?

During match score announcements I verbally asked for a show of hands if anyone got it twice, I recall two hands going up .. just did not make note what said hands were attached to what shooters bodies ... sorry.
I know I shot it late in match with the wind blowing hitting it 1st shot aiming on outside edge of face plate Not KZ hole :oops: Second attempt nada :cry:

EDIT: went threw score cards for lane 13 seeing 3 got it twice !! being Zack, Conrad & Marty .... Nice !!
* Conrad started there on 13, Zack started on 3 and Marty on 6

Scott, thank you so much for another great year! We all very much appreciate you! And thanks to Chris for always arriving [super] early for the setup and thanks to Sam for the food, especially for the squirrel street tacos - they were AWESOME!!!

Wow, what a super fun day! It was a great group of people, the weather was perfect, and the winds were fairly kind. I only recall a handful of targets where I held more than an inch or so outside of the kill zone, mainly towards the second half of the match [the far stinker being one of them].

I'm looking forward to next year!

Weiye looks like he came for a tennis match. Lol.
Shots fired :ROFLMAO:, looking forward to seeing you and the rest of the gang (Chris P Bacon) at the next Oregon GP.

Thanks Scott and co, another action packed and fun match with the stinker station and wind in the 2nd half. A variety of drinks and munchies throughout the match and a squirrel special lunch (thanks Sam!). The usual suspects showed up: the dynamic duo, BMW guy, and Skout lover to name a few; Conrad's dog was MIA. Hopefully we'll get more victims new shooters next year!
