What a nice day for FT in Northern California !
Wish to first THANK everyone who attended & especially those who came early to set up and/or stuck around to help tear down.
Sunday morning started out sorta misty & low clouds quickly burning off by @ 8:00 as we started getting set up. Blocks went out random having those present set the ranges they wished to shoot for each lane. Targets were then selected to keep the match not too hard / not too easy pending block location/ range chosen.
By @ 9:15 nearly everyone was in attendance with the practice area near elbow to elbow .... Pop pop pop on down the line.
At @ 9:30 we call a shooters meeting and get down to the squading finding we have 5 NEW SHOOTERS with us today ( Very cool ! )
Try and get new guys with experienced and manage to get a pretty good match up.
As the 2 man squads head to there lanes we are 1 odd man out and need to make a 3 person squad so no ones shooting alone ... what fun would that be
Course is 12 lane, 2 shots per target left to right format with 1 lane our forever popular OFFHAND
3 Bell targets at 2 each counting for 6 points. Entire match is 50 shots.
Match starts winding down as the first score cards start coming in by@ 12:45 and the 3 man squad still has 4 more lanes to go ... dang I'm part of the 3 man quickly realizing there waiting for the MD to keep the event humming along .. needless to say the last 4 lanes got rushed and your MD's score sunk like a boat full of holes. We finish at @ 1:30.
During the match we ONLY get a single protest on a non falling target which sadly does not go well for the protest person ... targets fine and obviously those frustrating SPLITS that look so good but lead that scatters ain't on the paddle.
Lots of laughter and chatter noted while the match progressed seeming all were having a great time with those new few learning just how challenging the game of FT actually is.
Ending the match we also got to witness a shoot off between the TOP 2 shooters and days high score in OPEN PCP between the other Sacramento FT club MD Ronnie E & out of state guest from Arizona Bill C. * Results in 1st / 2nd reflect how that went.
Results are below:

2nd ) Bill C 45
3rd ) Fred B 37
4th ) Dave C & Scott the MD 32

Ok so I was dealing with a colicky grand baby yesterday when I commented yesterday, hense the
grumpy grandpa.....
Sunday's shoot was fun, great weather, and as always, great company.
Ione winds were odd.... instead of the typical hurricane we shoot in, it was an odd intermittent swirling wind, that made shooting a challenge.
It good times were had, lead was slung, and targets were knocked flat.
