I'm not currently shooting FT but still find it well worth attending just to see friends and get the latest on all things airgun.
I learned the Grand Prix rules now call for all full size targets past 40 yards, that would increase my Hunter class scores perhaps as ranging with a 12x past 40 is tricky if not impossible and knowing the KZ size might help if bracketing? The Big yearly Heflin AL FT event is again canceled, the Cajin's are next weekend and several friends will be attending. Stoeger pellets actually are pretty good, I had no idea. Somone got a really good deal on a Sightron 10050x60 scope, always nice finding a good deal and face to face is always the best. I sold a sidewheel and saw some very nice new design sidewheels that were cnc printed. Generalkly just had a great time!
Jeff seen here shooting his HM1000 was nice enough to stop by at 5:50am to pick me up,
After nearly 4 years Harold finally got the finishing touch's on his Steyr ,
Folks on the sight in range,
Steve checking his original left hand TX200 ( no MK ) with custom Walnut & ebony stock,
Nice old fashioned P70 with a few tweeks,
Charles just picked up this old style USFT Hunter from another local shooter,
Jim likes to customize to suit himself,
Larry likes to keep his rifles factory issued,
Can you say, squirrel hunt?
One of my favorite targets, max magnification,
David knocking them down,
Firemarshall with his TM1000,
Roz with his BM500, ( had a three man lefty squad this match)
Larry firing his latest TM ( HM?)1000,
Dottie clearing lanes,
I think Steve was our only piston class shooter,
Charles with his new rifle,
Danny was on a 2 person Steyr squad,
Harold seemed to shoot very well now that his rig is a finished, ( I hear the Blue makes it shoot better?)
And more more more but I'm a bit tired still.
It IS always worth getting to a match, great people. advise, deals, just one of the best times one can legally have.
Hope everyone else had some fun too.
