Dear Believers in the Saying “If You Don’t Like the Weather…”:
When I left the house at 5:35 this morning to drive my 14 year old to swim practice, we saw the constellation Orion for the first time this fall high in the eastern sky. Orion has always been my favorite constellation. It indicates that winter with its snow and cold will soon be upon us. I like that.
At the start of today’s .22LR 50yd Bench Rest Fun Shoot, cold conditions were far from everyone’s thoughts. It was sunny and warm (80’s) and there was very little wind. But as the old saying goes, “If you don’t like the weather, wait five minutes and it will change.” And change it did in a dramatic fashion. At 4:45pm, the start of flight 7 (we ran 10 flights today), the wind went from essentially zero to 25mph from the south. It eventually stabilized, but never really slacked off in intensity. Yes, you have to believe that the wind is your friend.
Still, a good time was had by all (especially those of us who shot in flights 7 – 10).
Thirty-four matches were entered, thirty-three scores were recorded, seven in irons, 26 in scopes.
Many thanks to the crews who helped with all the work, and of course, to all who participated.
Remember, only three matches to go this year.
