I wrote in the Newsletter that we had managed to have a good\nHigh Power season, but when you think things can\u2019t get much better \u2013 they\nsurprise you by getting even better!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturday 8 August was a High Power shooter\u2019s dream day.  The Director had confused everyone \u2013\nincluding himself \u2013 by putting the wrong start time in all of the notices, but\nwe managed to bring the first relay to the line by 8:20 and the day just\nimproved from there.  It was very\npleasant; low humidity, not too hot (warm \u2013 yes, but by no means broiling) and\nno wind.  If ever a shooter needed a day\nto get no-wind zeroes, Saturday was indeed that day.  The morning session finished up about 11:00\nand we got the PM session started about 11:30, finishing around 2:30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the unexpected benefits of our electronic targets has\nbeen the number of shooters who have chosen to shoot a re-entry match in the\nafternoon.  As one re-entry shooter\ncommented; \u201cIf I don\u2019t have to pull targets, I can just shoot all day\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had three guests show up from around Maumee, Ohio.  They had heard good things about us from a\nLima Sabers shooter and they just took a road trip to check us out.  They were pleased with the appearance of the\nrange and they gave us good marks on the targets.  There are a lot of places to go shoot on most\nSaturdays, and FWRR is getting noticed as one of the better places to be.  Thanks to all of you guys for making it that\nkind of place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The quality of shooting matched the quality of the day.  Almost half of the shooters for the day\nposted Master scores, 752 or higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Results for the day were:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First:                Mark Richards                        775-29X<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second:           Carl Johnson               774-21X<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third:              Geoff\nBranson                        771-18X<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On interesting note for the day, none of the top three\nshooters were the top shooter in any of the individual stages. Stage winners\nfor the day were:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Offhand          Jeff\nBeierke                                         189-  4X<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sitting Rapid   Tim Plowman (Maumee, OH)       200-11X<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prone Rapid    Mike King                                          198-  6X<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prone Slow     Mike\nKing                                            198-11X<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The upset of the day was in Sitting Rapid.  Geoff Branson left the line in the morning with a Double Clean 200-9X, certainly an impressive accomplishment.  BUT<\/strong>, in the afternoon session, Tim Plowman \u2013 a visiting Distinguished Shooter from Maumee, Ohio Creedmored Geoff with another Double Clean – 200-11X.  Just what does a guy need to do to come out on top on a day like that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Silver Mountain Targets worked well.  There was only one short outage and our Pit\nSitters were right on top of it.  They\ndid a quick power-on reset of the target and we went along with only about a\n90-second interruption.  Dave Schnelle,\nthe US Silver Mountain Representative had spent Thursday afternoon at our\npractice monitoring the targets for the \u201ctarget went red\u201d issue.  We are a very convenient test site for him\nsince we are his closest mid-size user of this particular configuration.  We sat for a long time, and finally one\ntarget went red for us and Dave sent about 15-minutes of data back to the\nsoftware developer up in Canada. \nHopefully we are a contributor to solving this problem that has pestered\nfolks this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unless something unexpected happens, the next match will be\nthe Hoosier Home Range Hundred Match on September 5th<\/sup>.  Yeah, it\u2019s Saturday of Labor Day weekend, but\nthis will be a quick match that will get you off the range by about 12:00-noon\nand give you all the time you need to eat hot dogs with the family.  Details will be coming up soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the rest of September, we will have the CMP Games Match\non September 12th<\/sup>.  I am\nplanning this match as a chance for folks to shoot multiple re-entry matches;\nbring two or three guns and shoot all of them. \nI have had questions about a Sniper Match.  If I can generate enough interest (about 10\nshooters) I will put together a match that will be fun and challenging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the last Saturday of September, we hold the Leonard\nJohnson Memorial Team Match.  We shoot\n.22 rimfires at 200 yards on the SR-42 target and then move back to 300-yards\nand shoot center fire on the same target. \nWatch for more details on this match as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 One last bit of\ninformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FWRR Meeting on Tuesday August 18th<\/sup>\nwill be held at the FWRR Range at 7:00 P.M.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It WILL NOT be at the Trion Tavern at\n7:30<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be\nwell and be safe<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
