Hello everyone,
I wanted to post some pics my daughter shot yesterday at the Bench Rest in Ione (CA). It was a real blast (no pun intended) ;D
Wanted to share some pics hoping to lure some of you lurkers out of the shadows and onto the range next time for some fun. It was really nice to see some of you GTA'ers there (you know who you are ;)).

I'll update with more pics later. ;)
Enjoy!

Soooooooooo jealous!!!! Looks like a great way to spend the day!!!

Great turn out ... think we had 15 or 16 of the available 20 lanes occupied with an enthusiastic air gunner flingin some lead down range !!
And the fun afterwards ... ;D ;D 50 yard paint balls and bottle caps taking shot for shot down the line ;D ;D
We had 5 spring gun guys with .177's shooting the SAME class that made us the stand out class of the event ... GO SPRING GUNNERS !!!!
Yup, day spent with friends is a good day indeed !!

Many of the new shooters are hardcore springer shooters so in their honor we created a Heavy Varmint Piston class for all to compete in. There was some serious competition in this class, and considering that this was the first BR match for almost all the springer shooters and that there was only one set of wind flags for the entire match I think the results are pretty impressive. When the smoke cleared the wimpiest rifle in the piston match shot by Mark W was high springer and the highest card in the springer class was shot by Niko with a TX200. One of the most impressive rifles at the match was a Diana 460 shot by Jeff S, who amazed everyone in the plinking contests after the formal match. Jeff consistently picked off paint balls, bottle caps and 223 shells at 50 yards, hanging with Matt L and his FX Revolution and Kyron with this .25 Marauder. Jeff competed in the unlimited class but used the 25M targets rather than the 50yd targets. Had he used the 50 yd target his score wouled have been 10-20% higher giving Matt a run for the class title.
Thanks to all who attended the match, with a special thanks to Ken M who helped with the food and beverages for the day. I hope to see you all again at our next match in August.
Jim in Sacramento

Great shots Niko, nice to get one of these events documented !!

Thanks Scott!
You should link Jim to this thread so he can grab some of these pics too.
The guys are welcome to the full res versions of any of these pics. I can email them to folks so anyone can just shoot me an email or PM.
I'd like to get a FT event documented with some pics too one of these days.
I'm trying to show people that it's just a bunch of nice folks having a great time and hoping to entice them to come out.
