Match Report

This morning we had a good turn out in Concord CA for our Diablo High-power, Long-Range Airgun Match. Shooters competed on 7 bench course of fire with different sets of steel targets set at varying distances from 15 to 150 yards & one additional offhand course. 12 shooters total came out to have fun, meet new friends and compete. Shooters came out as far as Nevada, Sacramento and Fresno. Weather a little cold in the morning and wind was light. Course was very challenging, especially the very small teardrops targets passed 100 and also the KYL/ break the limit courses. Overall, a great day was had by everyone!



Match results:

Dave R  finished first with 55 points out of a possible 80 (55/80), along with 9 on 9 for the offhand shooting followed by 

John B. in second with 51/80 along with 9 on 9 for the offhand

Steve in third with 51/80 along with 9 on 9 for the offhand

Sounds like the off hand lane might need a little tweaking (shoot off a stability ball?) but the "Break the Limit" was a Heart breaker.

Lovely sport, I say we get some t-shirts made: get a black and white, face on shot of Pete with a Pirate Patch and devil horns, squinting down a barrel- PLR Air Rifle, Diablo style!

Thanks for doing this guys!
