We had our last match of the 2018 season and it was a good one, not that any field target match is bad a one. This his match was memorable for that fact we had 2 shoot offs more about that later.
The match was almost cancelled because of a Nor Easter due in on the weekend it was going to hit on Saturday for sure, but there was a change Sunday would be a washout as well but as the week progressed Sunday looked like it was going mostly a good day, so Tom and I decided to hold the match.
The gate for the range opens at 7:00AM I got there about 7:00 to finish the set up pull out the strings and check the target after the storm, Tom and Roel arrived and proceeded to set up the sight in range. The shooters started to arrive soon after and started sighting in.
The course I laid out was 11 lanes 3 targets per lane for a total of 66 shots Avg Dist. 35.58 and the difficulty was 33.21 I normally don’t use any targets with a kill zone small then ¾” but after experiences at the Nationals and Crosman I put a 3/8” and ½” targets on the course and will continue to use them in the future.
