5 of us got together in the Central California wine country at John's place.
The view from his driveway is spectacular.
We rolled down the hill through what used to be an old stagecoach road to get to the course. 54 shot match split up on each side of the road.
The oak trees are thick, but they soon opened up to the practice range. When we pulled up in the truck, John's gracious wife was just finishing up on a final trimming around the lanes. She and John cut out just enough of the grass to practice in, but they left most of the spring wildflowers in the meadow.
John makes his match interesting with different types of targets. There's a rooster up on top of this tree stump and when things are working right, it'll crow when you hit the kill zone.
He also puts reactive targets (which kick up a red paddle when you hit the KZ) in 5 lanes, one in the standing lane. But for me, this has been the toughest one. The
smallest KZ had to be 1/4".

John Knapp tied with John B, so our match director awarded him the 1st place trophy.
Scott got a 3rd place.
And Vince got a belated 1st place trophy from last month's match. Better late than never!
That wasn't it. John likes to set up a wing nut challenge. Most of the guys were getting hungry for lunch, but John and I were still up for a bit more competition. No, the guns were not loaded during this photo.
We took turns shooting at one target. I won $20 by shooting the hardware off the bolt first.
I wanted to take a photo of lunch, but I was too hungry by then. Thanks again to John for putting on the match.

You'd win the match if we put some *live* targets out...

Such a great location !
sadly the near 600 mile round trip is a bit much.
Will be back one day no doubt
