10/5/13 Was another nearly perfect day for FT in Alabama. Strike that, it
WAS A PERFECT DAY FOR FT
. Course was set moderately difficult as practice for those heading to Nationals. Weather was fantastic starting in the low 70s and just getting to 80 by the end. Breeze was nearly none for most of the match which was highly unusual for this range. When it did kick up it caused the usual problems.
Eight shooters took to the course with seven of the regulars and one strange fellow from Long Island now transplanted to Ga
Yep, GTA's own Lillysdad (Gabe) has relocated to the great Southeast and made it to his first FT shoot with us. I had the honor of shooting with him and had a great time. We were the only two springer shooters and both were shooting right around 12fpe (Gabe's HW77 vs my TX200HC).
While I out scored Gabe, I know that in reality he out shot me. He shot the whole course British HFT style (kneeling or standing, no sitting, no sticks) while I shot US Open FT style sitting with straps. Look forward to seeing him at our future matches.
Doug was once again the overall high score and seems in good form for Nationals and Ken wasn't far behind.
After the match I managed to put mu truck in a couple holes and my thanks go to Gabe and Rod for getting out and safely on my way. Most of the shooters hit Marie's BBQ for lunch, but I followed my own post ritual and stopped by Riverside to grab a slab of ribs and a butt to take home.
Here are a couple pics compliments of Pete.
And yes, that is major PCP surgery done in the open following the match
