Dear LVSA Smallbore Bench Rest Fans:
The flags were limp and the temperature was 82 degF when I drove through town at 12:45 pm today on my way to set up for the .22LR 50yd Bench Rest Fun Shoot.
As the match progressed, however, the temperatures rose as did the wind. If fact, it should be said that for the first two hours of the match, the wind was quite challenging. The only saving grace was that it was predominately a cross wind from the north. Remember, the wind is our friend (but you gotta believe!).
But the competitors were not daunted by the conditions. Thirty-three matches were scored. The average score in the Scope class was 393 – 21X, the highest average score of the season. All participants in this class had a double digit X count. Nice shooting, folks.
We welcomed a new shooter to the ranks of these matches: Kelsey Beck. Kelsey shot in last winter’s .22LR 100yd BR matches, and her husband, Jared, has been shooting in the 50yd BR matches this season.
We also welcomed a young spectator: Jace Warren Beck, age 28 days. Jace spent most of the match sleeping (see attached pic), but it is hoped that somewhere deep in his subconscious, this memory of his first match will take root. Congratulations to proud parents Kelsey and Jared.
As always, thanks to all who helped with the match, and as always, thanks to all who participated. A good time was had by all.
