We will hold the match at the USI Action Pistol Range, where it is normally held, this Sunday at 9:00 AM. Those with extra energy and a devious mind are invited to assist in setting up the course, around 8:15 am.
What's special about this match? We've increased the number of targets, number of forced positions and distances. We'll be introducing an optional event- "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 match wins a prize. Shoot off for a tie.
Weather is predicted to be sunny with highs around 63 degrees and 8 mph winds. There will be bottled water supplied.
Rifles are strictly limited to 20 fpe.
.177/.20/.22 caliber with lead pellets only.
We have PCP (Open) and Spring divisions, WFTF, Hunter and Pistol.
Hunter classes may use buckets and sticks and 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/ (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:

Windy, cold, sun and clouds, we had it all. Played a game where you had to guess your score, closest shooter to their guess gets a bottle of French bubbly. Lots of off hand and winds played havoc all day.
How can wind change 180 degrees in less than 55 yards?
Two shooters tied, and we had a shoot out at high noon. Jim M. eked out a win, but the round was well played by both shooters.
Thanks to everyone who literally put their backs into setting up and tearing down the course.
Congrats to Cameron who smote me by 1, the loneliest number!

Had a great time! Thanks for hosting a fun match Martin. One point?! Finally was able to sneak one by, you're a hard guy to catch!
Thanks to Bob and a few other mischievous minds set a rather tough course. With winds it made things a little more interesting.
Good shooting everybody,
Cameron

Indeed a GREAT day and honestly one of if not the windiest ever shot at Diablo in the past 5 years.
Lol ... had to chuckle, a LOT ! that this match happened to be my first attempt ever shooting WFTF.
Dang do those light little pellets get moved around in the wind ... Once it started blowing harder give or take 11:00 was honestly LOST for where to hold.
Good fun and great experience ... Thanks Martin & crew

Holy Smokes, WFTF, for the first time, in those winds?
Yikes, don't you have enough stress in your life already, Scott ? I knew Bob K. was special, but that you were able to hit as many as you did was amazing! It wasn't with the .20 cal was it? That would be something like 630 fps for a 13 + grain pellet. I think Son Liu's daughter could outrun it down range.

Thanks Scott!
No LGU for me, heard they were great guns but I'm shooting a HW97K with a simple PG2 Vortek kit, touched up and tweaked a little by me. Has a Rowan extra set back trigger.
It has a tac vector 10-40x50 Sentinel scope with BKL double strap Highs.
Jess and I are hoping to make it for your GP this year!
Hope you're doing well,
Cam
