Friday night ... IT RAINED and we mien REALLY rained to the tune of nearly and inch in the evening before making for one heck of a slosh fest come 8:00 A.M. during set up. It was still drizzling driving out and the first 45 min or so of setting course. Those crossing bridges mid field had water flowing over them and many shallow lakes across the entirety of the field .... but alas we're FIELD TARGET shooters and payed no mind
Turn out was a bit light for our typical season opener ( Likely due to the weather ) yet we still had 16 make it our for what ended up as a beautiful day of shooting.
We ended up setting 48 shots under the cover ( all string reset knock downs ) and 6 offhand/kneeler shots for match total of 54
* I apologize for NOT GIVING due credit during the pre-match meeting to our club member FRED B who over the winter took ALL of the clubs Gamo targets home, stripped off 4 years of paint and did a total repaint of them for our shooting and visual enjoyment ! Thank you FRED.
We also had the pleasure of having Bob K take the drive down from Snowy SE Oregon to rejoin the group for much laughter and catching up after he left the area upon his retirement last fall, along with John K coming up from Southern Ca to join in the fun. Nice to see you gentlemen !!
Saturday at IONE was our first being years past we always shot on sundays, Please make note of this as EVERY match at IONE this season will be a Saturday and ALL the YOLO matches on Sunday.
Today's scores are as follows:
OPEN PCP
Jack C 42
WFTF PISTON
Mark W 43
Bob K 35
Cameron K 32
WFTF PCP
Riz M 52 * Match high score
Robert S 46
Scott S 46
HUNTER PCP
Zack 51
Jim C 50
Fred b 49
Robb R 42
John K 41
Jim M 40
Russ 39
Frank W 36
Marty g 34
After the match we had a light lunch that the SVFTC provides, drinks and cookies too. Pick up all but 3 lanes of targets and proceeded to spend the next few hours just screwing around with some sighting in powder guns for the upcoming squirrel season up north. Rumor has it shooting FT makes us better squirrel shooters and shooting squirrels makes us better FT shooters ? .... seems to work.
Thanks to all who made it out, we all were treated to a wonderful day with just enough breeze to make you NEED TOO correct for it having few shots at the further distance hit where you aimed !! unless you did some wind doping. Hope those brave enough to aim outside the KZ learned something today as it is a skill set required when shooting in the wind, be it at a match or just shooting in general.

Man, what a FUN DAY!
Youze guys got even funnier over the winter.
Fred, you artiste!! All the misses to the right were mine, except for the misses to the left and those were also mine. I made it a point to correct for wind when there wasn't any.
Scott, how'd you arrange that lovely reflecting pool in front of the targets? Very Potomac. The footbridges were a nice touch, too.
And Mark, buddy ... my clock is now SO CLEANED. Thanks for doing that. Rascal.
