The May match turned out pretty good. Less people, more new shooters I think than regulars but maybe being Mothers Day kept some away or maybe getting boring. I switched some racks around to shake it up a bit, some might stay in place others will be returned to their regular spot but for sure the Dog Bones will be out for next month.
All day Friday the wind really blew and from about noon on it really howled on Saturday. The scores suffered a bit due to the wind gusting up to 27-29 mph at times which made hitting some smaller targets tough but everyone gave it their all with no complaints. Those pesky Dog Bones someone slid in at 150 yards didn't leave much room for error with them being only about 1 inch wide with a bit of nubs at top and bottom. Sunday shooters did much better with them, they may appear later on as a bonus somewhere but for now back in the weeds they go.
Kurt Yoder was really nailing them with that Sako Quad, he's really putting on those Vudoo competitors. Let's hope he don't upgrade to a Savage MK II or we'll never stand a chance of keeping up. I did put the Chrono up for Cuda that wanted to try some $1.07/50 Aguilla ammo, I just may have to git me sum of dat. 78 shots recorded extreme spread of 118 fps with a 21.6 SD. That's some serious Longrange ammo there. He shot twice, first time when it was cold on Friday and tried it later on Sunday when it was well into the 70s to see if there was a difference. NOPE That's the same gun he shot Lapua SLR in last fall and nearly cleared the course and won the match with. AMMO AMMO AMMO
Bonus rack this month was splitting the bullet on an axe at 50 yards. Got 4 shots to figure it out, a lot tougher than you'd think. I included how they got their hits at the end of each of their names. OK, on to the scores. Class winners and a free entry next month will be Kurt Yoder in A, Mark Elliott in B and Karen Marsh in C. Check the little hanging clipboard to claim your coupon. There are past months winners also hanging there so check it when you sign up.
All ties decided by reverse count including bonus rack.
