Once again FTR&PA put on a great match, with 23 guns shot in 3 Classes. PCP
(11 shooters), Standing (8 shooters) and Pistol (4 shooters). This time the
course moved further out into the range with 4 new lanes, 3 were out in the
field providing distance targets with small kill zones and “the wind”. A very
good test of equipment and shooters. Conditions could not have been better,
warm with a mild breeze lifting to a blow in the field. some of the 12ft guns
had to hold off the animal.
As always at our matches people seem to arrive early and spend a good
deal of time winding down from the drive by chatting with friends not seen
for a couple of months. Lots of interest in new equipment, Ray and Hans had
their
Crossman Discoveries out and we all had a go at shooting them, I shot Ray's off
hand at a silhouette pig, 36yds, and was very impressed. I was also impressed
with the pistol guys hitting the swingers on the sight-in range.
Thanks to FTR&PA for use of the range, the Archers for the food. and everyone
who helped setup and break down. November 30th will be our final match in 2008
please come and join us at the best keep secret in FT.
