10 shooters enjoyed our midsummer match at DIFTA. Temperatures started in the high 60s and climbed to the high 70s by the match end. It was a glorious day to be shooting outside with barely any wind. The only environmental challenges were large swarms of bugs, the density of which noticeably increased on lanes 11 and 12, as well as poor lighting for several lanes due to the full tree canopy. We had no target malfunctions!
The average course difficulty was 29.74, with four 3/8” and two ½” kill zones, and eight targets at > 40 yards. Scores were closely grouped with the top scorers in each division leading the ‘rest of the pack’ by just a few points. Open Division was the best represented, but the match high score of 49/60 went to Greg White who was shooting a new rifle for the first time. Another notable score of 46/90 was shot by Hector Medina in WFTF Piston.
Thanks to Scott Broom for help with setting up the match, to multiple shooters who arrived early and helped run strings, and who stayed behind to take down the course, and as always, many thanks to those who travel long distances to compete and keep our sport alive. Mark Mayer acted as match Director.
The next match at DIFTA will be held on Sunday September 7th
