Results Cajun Spring Classic final results

Talk about an awesome weekend! The weather was PERFECT! Thank you Bayou Airgun Club for hosting yet another world class Field Target and Benchrest match.

Final scores are posted below. Daystate Redwolfs dominated the WFTF and HFT classes with wins in both categories and a third in WFTF and a second in HFT.

I would like to correct the misinformation that “NO WFTF spring gun competitors were at the competition “! Yes indeed there were! Me!! 
I was the lone WFTF piston shooter so they put me in with the pcp guys, which is fine. 


This event is a perennial favorite of mine. The match is always well run, the venue, people and food are always great. This year was no different and the weather could not have been better. The temps were mild, mid 40s warming to mid 70s with deceptive winds to keep things interesting for everyone. Thank you to all of the hard working folks that set up and ran the match, great job as usual. I will be back next year! Let the good times roll!

Ken- no slight intended by my obvious "misinformation". Since match directors segregate the hunter class trash (me being one of those) from the elite WFTF shooters we don't get to meet and greet with y'all and therefore don't know who of the elite shooters were indeed shooting PCP or springers. Sorry for the confusion; in my haste to get scores posted, i made a mistake and then made a further mistake by reporting that there were no WFTF springer shooters in attendance.

Hey Art I am just playing around.. I knew you didn’t mean anything “deliberately intended to deceive.” 😊 I apologize if it came across as I was upset about anything.

Since there was no equipment listed on the scoreboard or identifier to let anyone know I was shooting springer, how would you have known??? 


For the record I do not think Hunter division is “trash” nor WFTF is “elite”.. each division is its own game, different sets of challenges and advantages. Both games require you to be a proficient shooter, know your equipment and be able to handle the environmental situations and mental stresses of the course of fire on the day. In the 30+ years I have been shooting FT I have shot all of the divisions, I enjoyed them all for different reasons. 

See you at the next one! Thanks for posting the scores.

FYI and FWIW, Match Directors are, by and large, super-humans possessing of otherworldly powers of logic, reason, and, most importantly, FAIRNESS. Those super-human powers remain honed to a razors-edge through constant exercise, under the strictest of scrutiny(s)... COMPETITIVE SHOOTERS! ;-)

Case in point- What to do with with a (now) very dilute division of three classes, often spread over few enough shooters (in total) at any given match as can be counted on one hand? Truth be told, that example may be one of the least challenging situations MDs face.

I happen to know the Cajuns MD, and he's definitely an otherworldly character! Seriously though, although I don't know the 2022 Cajuns MD real well, well enough to be confident in his abilities and character. Good show, Carey! 

And although I also don't know aforementioned springer shooter real well, having been squadded with him at a past Cajuns, I know his shooting skills well enough to say if the MD had known him as well he would have NO reservations in throwing him into the PCP lion's den! That the guy was one of only 5 WFTF shooters at Cajuns to break the century mark (including his score ;-), shooting what amounts to a glorified sling-shot, speaks volumes about Ken's shooting skills! 

And that old outlaw going by the alias "Podna" is another shootin' SoB. Y'all need to keep an eye on all the outlaws mentioned in this post.

Don't ask how I know.
 
Fellas -

I hope my question didn't come off as a criticism, was just curious. I don't have the talent or stamina to compete in WFTF Piston anymore, but still like to see who's competing with a spring gun.

Ken - I'm convinced you could show up with a Cummins Tool Truck special and still shoot a great score. SALUTE!

Hope to see you at a match soon as well!
