I am curious about the "Risk/Reward" aspect. Can you please explain a little bit about how that works? Thanks.

The smaller silhouette targets have more 'Risk' to hit them, but more points 'Reward' when hit.
(I couldn't think of a better name - does anyone have a suggestion?)

Okay. I understand the concept. Upon my first read I didn’t grasp that at each silhouette stage the shooter had only ten shots and therefore had to choose which of the 20 targets to shoot. My initial confusion was based on my own lack of reading comprehension . That does sound like a fun method for shooting silhouettes and I think your name/title of “risk and reward” is very fitting. Thanks,

Weather update...Great!

Zero percent chance of rain.

Mid-70's F at start, mid-80's F at end.

"...less humid with intervals of clouds and sunshine..."

Have you ran this before? Id love to see some pictures of previous shoots

 

[AGN225]

This will be the first time to do the 'Risk/Reward Silhouette Challenge'
Here is one of the two stands (needs fresh paint)...

And here's the scorecard...

Your silhouette competition looks really fun to me. I’d join in if I wasn’t all the way across the country. Maybe I’ll set up something like this for the family at our July 4th BBQ. I hope your event is busy and successful.

Another day of airgun excellence at Delaware County Field & Stream Association!

The weather did not give us any useable precipitation or wind excuses in the Field Target match - a good thing. We could only gripe about the temperature, which was warm-to-hot on a Pennsylvania scale (mid-80’s F.) At sight-in, a couple shooters discovered odd effects on their optics from the warm temperatures…strange how that happens. Fortunately all but one of the Field Target shooting lanes was shaded under trees. The kneeling lane was not - it was the ‘hottest’ lane - congrats to Brian VanLiew for cleaning it! We wrapped up the Field Target match just at noon, when the club’s shotgunners started, and gave the way-overhead Field Target tree canopy an occasional spray of #8 shot.

Suggestions on making the Field Target matches even better are always appreciated. An excellent one today was providing large-ish kill zones on the standing lane targets. Standing is hard…why make it worse!

From the Field Target ‘forest’, we retired to the airgun range - a nice open-sided building replete with floor-mount fans to keep us cool. We lost Mark Mayer & Paul Varney, who had to get on the road, but gained Mike Harris - yay! Both 10-meter and (first time ever) ‘Risk/Reward’ silhouette offerings were available. Brian Wagner & Brian VanLiew were the inaugural shooters at the ‘Risk/Reward’ silhouette. It was so nice they did it again! Mike Harris & Mark King did some old-school 10-meter shooting with a vintage FWB 300. Mike also used the opportunity to sight-in a sweet new PCP target pistol.

Big thanks again to George Riley for the sight-in field cleanup, handling finances, and support of all things airgun at Delaware County Field & Stream Association!

Here’s the scores…
