One of these is not like the others…
I know nothing about field target so I might be misreading the photo, but immediately like the guy shooting the Vixen in this photo and feel like we could be friends.
Too bad I couldn’t make it out this weekend to observe. Seems like a good time.

Just a quick note as I am entering today's scores in airgunshoot.com . Thanks for the kind words, we really appreciate everyone that came out and shot. Especially the out of state shooters, I know what a time commitment it is to travel to a GP in a different time zone.
Our goal was to have a tough but fun course that could be enjoyed by shooters of any skill level. However, the best course in the world is pointless without good shooters, and we had great shooters this weekend. If you enjoyed it, bring a friend next year. We are already scheming for the next ROT, it will have even more cowbell!
Here's a little eye candy to tide you over while I get back to data entry. Maggyye looks as tired as I feel.
Thanks,
Scott

Thank you Jeff and Scott and all the other volunteers for all your efforts in putting another excellent RoT GP event. Both courses were very challenging but fun. I really appreciated the additional elevated targets. It was great to see so many familiar faces again. A fantastic weekend.

Now that I have the scores entered, I can tell you that the lowest percentage non-positional targets today were the longer targets (Lane 1, far on lane 3, near on lane 15). Due to the swirly and gusty winds, that checks out. The kneeling lane was a struggle today, which is odd because it was pretty standard (1 inch at 22 yards, 1.5 inch at 35 yards).
Yesterday the pole target on 13 and the elevated owl target on 3 were the struggle targets. Kneeling was also tough yesterday, but the targets were tougher and hard to see if you chose to stand.

I should have taken a picture of Jeff climbing up there to get that target. Spoiler alert - he's alive.

Here are some photos that sum up the shoot from my perspective (a bunch of folks standing around talking smack). There might have been some shooting as well, I wasn't really paying attention.

Another great event at Arlington Sportsmans Club!
Great to see so many friendly faces.
Thanks again to Jeff and Scott for all the hard work and organization, that we all could enjoy a seamless event.
Put it on your calendars for next year everybody!
That rifle event was so humbling for me. I can't remember shooting that bad since my FIRST FT match!!! LOL! Ouch!
I don't remember skunking a lane since I began shooting...and I had several this weekend!!!!
I think I cried a little bit!!!
I pretended it was allergies!!!
On the bright side though, I did get to watch Randy and Mark duke it out all day Sunday in an epic battle to be settled on the last lane, with Randy Smith coming back to beat Mark Welker by a single shot in an epic Piston Rifle Championship!!
Way to go guys!!!
Impressive shooting.
