50\/80 Match<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

June 13, 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I woke up about 2:30 on Saturday morning, I thought I\nwas hearing a mouse gnawing on something in the ceiling.  Then, as I got my wits about me, I realized\nit was worse than a mouse \u2013 that was rain pecking on the window. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aw Poooh<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 why does it have to rain on High Power Match\nday?  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I tossed and fretted until 5:30 and I got up and got my day\nstarted.  I looked at the radar from\nseveral places and even though it was still raining, it looked like there was a\ngood chance it would break up even if we had to delay an hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, by the time I got to the donut shop at Harlan, the rain\nhad stopped to the point it just needed an occasional swipe of the wipers to\nkeep the windshield clear.  By the time I\ngot to the range \u2013the rain had stopped and it looked like we would not get\nrained on.  Mike and Glenna had already gotten\nthe Stat Office set up started.  We\nwaited a bit to be sure the rain was gone and we went downhill to start setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we get more familiar with electronic target setup, we are\nfinding that four or five guys can set up an 8-target line in just about the\ntime it would take for 8 pit-pigs to go down and setup cardboard backers, smear\npaste and put on paper centers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we started at 8:10, it was cool and cloudy.  Jackets felt comfortable and that wind\nstraight from 6:00 was cold on the back of your neck.  One target decided to act up, but we quickly\nfigured out a work-around and life just went on.  The clouds broke up quickly and by the time\nRelays 1 and 2 went back to 300-yards, we had just about as beautiful a day to\nshoot as could be asked for.  The light\nwas absolutely fantastic, wind was light and almost constant and the\ntemperature was \u201cjust right\u201d.  Relays 1\nand 2 finished up at 10:49 \u2013 an 80 round match shot in less than three\nhours.  Good work guys!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The afternoon went just as smoothly; the rookie Range\nOfficer ended up setting up a pair of shooters to shoot on an MR-63 F-Class target\nbecause of his fat fingers on the master control display.  But, at least the shooter doesn\u2019t have the\nshot-out barrel he thought he had!  Relays\n3 and 4 shot their 80-round match in just under three-hours as well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had 23 shooters for the day out of 27 registered, with 4 shooters cancelling for last minute issues.  We had some fantastic shooting, with many scores above 190 for the 20 shot stages.  Joe Bakies took top spot for the day with a 790-26X, but his 199-12X at 300-prone took second place to Robert winding\u2019s 199-15X.  It was that kind of a day

One of the visiting shooters commented, \u201cI haven\u2019t been here for a\ncouple of years.  I forgot just how\npretty this range is.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our next High Power activity is a Range Day for just fun\nshooting on the electronic targets on June 20th starting at 10:00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next 50\/80 Match is July 11 \u2013 it starts at 8:00.  Although I have not heard from the NRA, this\nmay be the first NRA Approved Match of the season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
