Remarks:
This was our third field target match for 2025. It was the perfect day to shoot outdoors with little to no wind under sunny conditions.
Pete S made significant changes to the course and increased the overall difficulty below 34 Troyer. He moved several targets to a longer distance. He moved the kneeling lane from lane 13 to lane 7. Both kneeling and standing lanes had the near target moved closer but with 1” kill zones.
After a brief safety meeting, we had people assigned squads and lanes. We had an odd number of people. So, we had one squad with three people and the rest had two person squads. We had two people shooting one at each lane and one scoring.
We had a bunch of close scores in Hunter PCP. Karen wins the class with a 55. We had a three-way tie between David F, Khoa T Jr and Stephan H. All scored a 53. The combined kneeling and standing lanes determined the tie breaking scores. David had 1 more than Khoa Jr and Stephan. Khoa had 1 more point at the standing lane than Stephan.
We had two cold lines. One was a wire extension for the string getting loose from the target and a concrete block with a target attached falling off the stump it was placed on.
Cheeseburgers with bacon and chips were served for lunch after the match with ice cream sandwiches for dessert.
Thank you for the people who helped wind up strings back to the targets afterwards.
