THAGC MONTHLY MATCH REPORT
4/14/18
Yesterdays match couldn’t have asked for any nicer weather. With temps starting in the 60’s & getting up to about 80 was great compared to our colder winter matches. Mother Nature decided that we needed some wind to go along with all the warmer air & sunshine. Weather report was calling for 10-12 mph winds with higher gusts. I would say that is about right for what we experienced at TCRC.
We had 16 shooters arrive early Saturday morning to prepare for the days event. We had several new or new to TCRC shooters. Rod Mann came up from Oriental, NC & used the club loaner rifle to compete while he is getting his rifle completed. Mike Edwards also joined us from Clayton, NC & shot my old / his new Steyr LG110. Mike had purchased it from me a few days before. Louis Loria came down from P-town, VA (Portsmouth for those not from this area) for his first match. Ray Hawkins was kind enough to let him use his Marauder for the match. Louis is in the process of setting up a sweet HW97/ Hawke 10-50 combo. Jody & Pam Morrison made their first-time appearance at TCRC. The long-distance ward goes to my friend from New Jersey, the world-famous Brian Van Liew.
The course was the back half of the 25 lane Euro course that we shot in November 2017. It was 15 lanes, 2 targets per lane, 2 shots per target for a 60-shot course. It had a SD of 5.7 with an average Troyer rating of 33.81 w/o wind. Factoring in wind raised the SD to 7.05 and a Troyer of 41.36. So, hats off to all of the new shooters who shot yesterday either without a lot of FT experience or shooting rifle/scope combos that you were unfamiliar with or a combination of both. You guys & gal did really well considering the course difficulty & wind.
