Sometimes the weather guessers get it wrong, it was supposed to be cold, wet and raining instead we were blessed with overcast skies, intermittent sun with temps in the 50-60s and we will take that on any shooting day in February.
Two new shooters came out this month. James was one new to FT shooter and he brought out some of his big bore guns like, 45 cal Texan to sight in at 100 yards then watched the FT match to get a feel for our sport. James is already looking at FT guns to come back to compete with. Mike brought out his RWS 52 detuned to 15 ftlbs to try out piston hunter FT. Mike was gaining momentum as he gained more experience on a tough course. I believe the FT bug has bitten them both so we will see more of them in the future.
Otis finally had a Saturday off to come shoot with us and he showed up with a custom kitted out Ed gun Leyshi in .177 shooting 12 ftlbs and shot a solid score while making adjustments along the course.
David and his grandson Wesley spent time introducing Wesley to David’s Protarget and I think Wesley likes the world of pcps. It’s great to see a grandfather spending time with his grandson passing along his love of shooting sports. Wesley is a young teenager who is considering trying out for his schools’ shooting team next year. We hope he makes the team and keeps coming out to shoot with us too.
After the match we all went to our local bbq place to enjoy a good lunch and talk more airgun stuff. We enjoy the fellowship as much as the shooting. Hope to see everyone next month, take care until then!
