GOB match report 9/12/2020

Lower than usual turnout again this month but the 6 who made it enjoyed a nice morning of Field Target in the pines.  It was great to see Brad at Roz's Hollow for the first time in a while, and also one new competitor, Oscar Valent, was visiting from Florida.  Oscar made quite an impression on the course and we hope to see him often in the future.

Earlier in the week the weatherman was predicting a nice fall feeling in the air Saturday.  Well, that did *NOT* happen, but fortunately neither did the chance of rain for the day. Temps were a very muggy 80 at match start and reached about 87 by match end around 11am with winds just breezy enough to keep you thinking.  We're still honoring COVID precautions and shooting solo so the match moved along very quickly.

I managed to take home the overall win by tying my previous personal best score, but my PB was only one point better than Oscar who shot an awesome 57 in his first visit to Roz's Hollow. Cliff and Roz had a tight battle for the Open win with Cliff prevailing by one point.  Brad's score is illustrative of the importance of stock setup and fit, especially with a springer... he was using a proven action in a new stock that didn't fit well and struggled with unpredictable fliers all day.
