Thanks for putting that report together Mark.
It was a great weekend enjoying airguns with friends. Can't say that I've been at a match with more ideal weather....hardly any wind, no sun, temperature about what we heat and cool the insides of our houses to!
Simply perfect conditions.
And yes siree that shoot off was tough. Here's a copy and paste describing the shoot-off, from my ongoing USFT thread.
Dunno if the co-match directors decided to use up all the difficulty they'd held back for the course or what, but they decided on a 1/2" kill zone at 50 yards to be the tie breaker. A 1/2" KZ at 50 yards is a 112.5 Troyer factor target, without any wind factors applied.
First round of shoot-off: Rex shot first, and took it down. I shot next, and also took it down, although I believe I got lucky with a split. Bobby was third, and also knocked it down.
Second round of shoot-off: Same 1/2" KZ at 50 yards, but offhand!!! Yeah right-that's a 197 Troyer target!!! We all three missed, two of us drew faceplate at least, lol.
Third round of shoot-off: same 1/2" kill zone, but scooted the shooters back to 54-55 yards, and let us go back to stool and sticks. We're now looking at a 122+ Troyer target. We all missed the first round @ 55yards, but I thought I could see my and Bobby's hit on the right, lower edge of the kz, due to a little bit of wind quartering in from about 10:30-11:00 .
Fourth round of shoot-off: still 1/2" kill zone, still stool and sticks. Rex shot first, and missed. I shot second, held on the upper, left edge (again, about 10:30-11:00) of that teeny tiny little kz, and knocked it down!!! Bobby shot third and missed. So that put me in first for the Hunter class.
Firth round of shoot-off: still 1/2" kz, and still stool and sticks, but now determining 2nd and 3rd place. Rex got it, and Bobby missed, putting Rex in second place.
I love shoot-offs, even when they don't go my way. And will add that I was feeling like the biggest under-dog against Rex and Bobby.

I thought Carl F said he helped set up...
He told me it was a different one. Slacker.

Hey Cole,
for what it is worth, I saw that Jim Poh, from Diablo, set that up in one of their monthly matches. I thought that was novel and added it to our weekly Tuesday TRAC matches. You know, the one on the "parking lot" at BASF that no one likes....LOL.
We did that in 3 matches as a bonus target and got it knocked down 6 times.......by the retired old farts! Ask Barry. He got it twice!
You shot well, and I am glad that everyone had a good time. After all, that is what this is all about. We are trying to keep all the shooting disciplines alive, whether they are popular or not. More fun that way.

I know the beautiful area around Mormon Lake and Flagstaff really well. Congrats to all the contestants and their families. Special times.
