Indeed the LWCB and his two swingin' brothers appeared, and the shooters did put a hurting on them.
Congrats to Josh K (bohem) on the win. And also thanks for supporting the prize table with gift certs for products and custom work from Patriot Valley Arms.
Scores:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...MTBfRzhsV3pSQ2c&single=true&gid=4&output=html Shooters had a choice on the CBS: Long or Short for full or half points. They didn't know the target size or distance when they made the choice. Only that "Long" was over 600Y, and "short" was under 600Y. Long turned out to be about 725 and Short was about 440 (but small). Point values were cut in half on the short one. They had two minutes to estimate range and get the target hit with a descending score per round expended.
The Longball stage saw three targets at 1045, 1000, and 900. 10 shots to hit them all. Only Josh, Rob O and Steve B hit them all.
Buying time was a new creation. A semi Auto RPK was set up in a bunker facing a target 200Y away. There were three targets long at 740Y, 667Y, and 390Y. Hit all three from a tree stump then get on the RPK and hit the 200Y target within five rounds (you could easily see the target splashes). Get back on the long gun and re-engage those targets as many times as you could within the 2:30.
Monkey shines - 10 rounds from 5 different positions including the roof of the target shed.
"The Postman always rings twice." A twist on an old favorite of mine. 667Y target. You earned 25 points for each CONSECUTIVE hit. So your first hit on it was worth nothing. Each consecutive hit past that was 25 each with a 100 max. You only had to get four to max the stage. Josh owned this like crazy with seven consecutive hits.
Stand/Sit/Prone challenge. 100Y, small paper targs. We all know this one but it's never easy. Steve B always talks about position shooting and he backed it up on this one, easily maxing the stage out. The gray box in the middle was .6" and he hit it twice.
"Murderers Row" - 500Y plate rack with a 5" plate being the smallest. These are new targets for us and we hope you guys liked them.
Holdover - off a simulated roof crest. Small targets close, and a skinny and a fat man out past 450Y.
Barrcade - Our barricade from Evil One Construction is still the best one I ever shot off of. Five positions, two shots each.
Swiss Seat - Tie your own swiss seat and hook up to a line with a carabiner. Make a shot at 520Y with as few rounds as possible.
We had some new shooters join us for this one. Many firing their first match ever. It was good to meet you all and see you come out and give it a try. Now that you understand the flow of it and how things work, I promise your next one will be a lot better.
And to our old friends and regulars, thank you for coming back again!
Here's one that
NOBODY got. Look at the target letters on the average shot distance chart of the score sheet........
