From LD below:
We had a lot of fun on that long range shoot, but I didn't have quite so much fun on the 25M benchrest match, due to really shifty winds, and I tried my .22 FX impact, which was harder to shoot off my regular front rest as my usual USFT rifles, esp since I used a poor pellet choice on first card. It was cold and the winds were VERY shifty ... keeping everyone's scores lower than normal.
The Long Range shoot, which I will continue from now on with the name "Canyon Shoot" continues to develop. I let some of the guys shoot prone off bipods, and they WHIPPED us guys that can't or wont shoot that way.
BUT, since the game is mostly about who busts their clays FASTEST, I think I'm gonna stick with the prone allowance, but let everybody also use magazines and shoot from light benches off bipods or front bags if they want. These changes will speed the matches up, allowing more relays, and thus, more fun! I'm still going with .22 cal max, and no slugs tho.
Anyway, here are match results for the Benchrest first, then the Canyon shoot.

Canyon Shoot: 109yds at clay pigeons ... singleshot .22 pellets, five targets as fast as possible from bipod, FT position, or prone. Duel style, two shooters at a time going for quckest clearing of their five clays.
Duel 1: Matt K. vs Roger L. : Roger sitting FT style, Matt K. prone. Matt K. winner
Duel 2: Mike B. vs LD: Both sitting on stools off bipods LD winner
Duel 3. Matt S. vs Jeff C. Matt Prone, Jeff on stoll off bipod Matt winner
We didn't have a shootoff, because Matt did a swift, jawdropping five for five shooting display we all knew we were unprepared for.
We had a fine lunch of beef ribs, potato salad, macaroni salad, and a sweet watermellon.
I'll be back next month better prepared.
