OKCGC had their inaugural Xtreme Field Target match this past Saturday April 23rd. We set out 11 “Self Resetting” targets with KZ’s sizes from ¾”-3 ½” set at 22 to 95 yards. With a Troyer of about 32 and on a very windy day. The winds were 25-37mph from the south as we shot to the north! We shot one target per lane 4 times for a 44 round match. Most shot on buckets with bipods, a few went prone, and two tried off hand. It blew you around no matter what shooting position you shot in. Made it interesting to say the least!
Tony and I were not sure how the targets would react in this type of wind. But they did very, very well; we were excited! The shooters had a blast as they have been waiting for this XFT match to take place. After the match we all went into the Silhouette range building to talk over the match. Everyone said very positive things on how the targets worked and that the match went great. After about ½ hour we all went back out to the range and picked up the targets, blocks, and signage. I want to make sure to say “Thank You Guys for the help!” We could not do this without you! Oh, and then a few hours later we had tornado warnings south of OKC. Exciting day!!
Caleb shot very well, with a score of 30. Curtis was right behind him at 29! Al a 28 with his .30 cal FX. Keith and I were right there as well, both shooting 27s. Butch was so close with his 24 and happy too! This was Thom’s second FT match and was smiling all day. Larry and Bruce were going at it with each other shooting their tied scores. Tony was having a blast as he and Joe shot off hand on one lane. Joe 2 hits and Tony with 1, both had smiles on their mugs! Joe sure has a loud gun lol.
So overall for our first XFT match with “self resetting” targets it was a success! See at our next match on July 23rd.
See Y’all soon. Randy…..
