6–8-25 Field Target

First shoot of the 2025 Summer Swelter Benchrest Series was attended by 7 competitors and all opted to shoot in the early relay which began at 7:00AM.  Several volunteers arrived 'crack of dawn' early to set the target stands and to position their down-range windflags.

Conditions were near ideal, with most windicators showing almost Dead-Calm during sight-in and through the first  target card session.  Some puffy wind arrived around mid match adding a little more challenge.  

Competition was keen and we saw some terrific shooting today.    Scott A scored  a perfect  tally (250 pts) on his first target card.  Meeting the challenge  Bob C  kept pace, also shooting a perfect 250 points on his first target card.

Scott then went on to wow us by  shooting another 250 point score on his second target card.   Two for two perfect cards.
Very Impressive.

Chip was shooting well, hanging back  just a couple points behind Scott's two  perfect cards.   A lot would be riding on the results of the third and last card in the relay.

Scoring 247 points with 12X's on his third target card was enough to push Chip ahead of the group.  He won our  TOP GUN  recognition with an  overall  event high score of 745 points (without a perfect card).  Chip also earned the X-PRIZE today accumulating  39 X's;  a  notable achievement.

Some Super Impressive Shooting Today

With three perfect target cards scored in just our first event,  it looks like we will be in for some very heated high scoring competition through the 2025 Summer Swelter Benchrest Series.

Our next match will be another 25M benchrest relay Sunday July 13.  ( there's still time to practice ).
