Unique Field Target Match, Sunday Sept. 16th, Concord, Ca
Pistoleer:
Sept. 16th, 9:00 start. Those with extra energy and a devious mind are invited to assist in setting up the course, around 8:15 am.
We will hold the match at the USI Action Pistol Range, where it is normally held.
The 2018 World Field Target Championship

is in the record books, and at the top of the Team Piston Class, Team USA took top honors.
To celebrate and commiserate with our champions, this match will consist of 1 shot per target, instead of the regular 2. We will have 9 lanes, 3 targets per lane. After completing your first 9 lanes, you'll go around the course one more time for a total of 54 possible hits. It wouldn't be a Diablo match without a few Forced positions- 18 off hand shots will proscribed.
We'll are still running an optional competition – "Predict your Score". Shooters who want to participate forecast their score before the match. The shooter who lands closest to "his/her/undeclared" score at the end of the series of matches wins a prize. Shoot off for a tie- come December. Min of 3 matches for consideration.
Weather is predicted to be sunny with highs around 79 degrees and as always, variable winds. There will be bottled water supplied, and I'll have some excuses prepared in advance, in case you run our of your own?
NOW-at NO Extra Cost! Electric lighting in the restroom!
Rifles are strictly limited to 20 fpe.
.177/.20/.22 caliber with lead pellets only.
We have PCP (Open) and Springer divisions, WFTF, Hunter and Pistol.
Hunter classes may use buckets and sticks- scope power is limited to 16X or scopes dialed back to 16X for higher power scopes.
We shoot in squads of two and three. Eye protection is required for both shooters and spectators. Cost for club members is $10.00 and guests are $15.00.
Juniors under 18 with a member are free.
I have a loaner PCP if someone wants to come out and give FT a try. Let me know via email ahead of time.
Ladies and juniors are encouraged to attend to experience what the excitement is all about.
There will be free air tank refills after the match for club members tanks with a current hydro.
All shooters must sign the 1 time USI liability waiver form located on line here prior to shooting a match at USI:
http://unitedsportsmen.com/ waiver/
It is free, signed online and is a one time procedure.
After signing the waiver, all shooters are required to obtain a USI "Blue Card" available for free at the club house.
You must have your Blue card with you. Get one at the club house before the match. USI is now charging a $5.00 replacement fee. I suggest you take a picture of it and store it in your mobile device. We will be checking for Blue Cards- again, no charge, but it must be in your possession.
All FT and Air Gun Silhouette events are listed on the Diablo Rod and Gun Club calendar here:

Amusing musings from Chris K, about the new format:
gracious, all this getting up and moving is going to be hard on us old guys. If you're going to start switching things up, how about adding a Senior's Class where all the shots are taken on targets in a single bay and we don't have to get up and move at all? So as not to age discriminate you could call it the Couch Potato Class and anyone who doesn't feel fit can enter.
I think we're on to something here. Steel targets could be in the form of things couch potatoes gravitate towards.....pie, beer, candy bars, potato chips, pizza, soda pop, TV and a TV remote.
What say ye, young feller?

Pistoleer:
Crack me up, will you? It was recommended to shoot three targets, instead of two targets, from each lane precisely because of the one shot format- but I didn't think about the handicapable's at our match, and the amount of Advil we'll be supplying. I better raise the entry fee to cover the massage therapy?
18 lanes vs our normal 15-16 lanes- will the three more "get out of your chair" lifts really affect your fitness? Maybe it's time to retire the springer and get a gun that doesn't require as much effort to load, like a maybe a slingshot? I'd say a blow gun, but the only air we are capable of passing is coming out of the wrong end!
See you there?
