Dear LVSA Friends of the Wind:
Today’s .22LR 50yd Bench Rest Fun Shoot match was number 12 of this season’s 23 events. We are officially over the hump so it will be smooth sailing from now through the last match. High scores and plenty of X’s all around.
And speaking of sailing, today’s wind would have been a sailor’s delight if the sailor in question reveled in challenging conditions. The wind varied in both intensity (from howling to moderate) and direction (predominately form the north, but making arbitrary and capricious switches from N to E and all points in between). I know the wind is our friend, but there are times …
Other than the wind, conditions were typical for our Wyoming summer: cloudless skies with temps in the mid 80’s.
Thitry-three matches were recorded, seven with irons and 26 with scopes.
We reached a milestone today; since this series started back in August 2011, we have shot approximately 3,042 targets. Congratulations.
With a few notable exceptions (check the scores below), scores were down across the board. Still, an afternoon spent at the range in the company of one’s fellow shooters almost guarantees that a goo time will be had by all – and it was.
Thanks to all the helpers (especially the target setters and those who chased the wind blown targets up the hill), and to all the competitors.
