Midshires second round Field Target

3/30/2016

1 Comment

 
Well Saturday arrived I've been looking forward to this one as I missed the first round I arrived at the club about 8.20am to the sight of two red kites hoovering in sky. Our Russell Webb was going to come today and take some pictures for a magazine article he was going to submit to Airguner for publishing.
Simon arrived next and we got on with setting out a course, keeping many of the targets close as we where expecting winds around 20 mph I was aware that I had put out a few reducers so when the other members arrived I suggested that the rest of the course be set using full size kills. Helen was obviously feeling very confident as she placed a 25mm target out at near full distance, she later changed it for a full size kill but now having seen her score I don't think a 25mm kill would have caused her too  much concern. Well after a short chat about next years winter league grading we got under way. My shooting partner for the day was Andrew and the wind was clearly left to right our first target was number 1 a close 25mm reducer which shouldn't have caused too much of a problem but we both missed it Andrew not giving enough wind and me over cooking it. We both missed the next one and got the third. On to the next lane a kneeler Andrew cleared it and I made achieving a good score even harder by missing all three of them so after 6 targets I have one X on my card, omg me thinks. Then its Andrews turn to make FT look hard missing 4 out of the next 6 targets, fortunately I only dropped one of the six. I was giving about six inches of wind and in one case the target took another 3 inches. After both of us getting 2 of the 3 standers we moved to other end of the course to find that the wind was very different and seemed very tame in comparison to what we had just experienced especially as it was out in the middle of the field. We only needed to be just outside the kill for a knock down. Andrew finished on 17 and I managed a 20 to my surprise. Score cards came rolling in with a few very good scores for the conditions. I needed to collect Helens card as she had started checking her spring out the next round, so I asked her how she did hoping that it was less than mine only to find out she got a staggering 26 my immediate response was how the hell did you do that. So well done to Helen and thank you for making our scores look worse than I think they should be. So well done to those that attempted the course including Carl on his second visit to the club. A big well done to Ray with a pb of 21 (joint second today) with Simon Martin. Please refer to the competition section for full scores.
