As you can see our illustrious match winner Mr. Gamble has just one more miss on the course and he shoots a 20/40, and as you know from past experience Mr. Gamble is not a 50% shooter!!!

TARGETS ARE AS FOLLOWS
700 24" square was (NOW A 36" SQUARE) there was going to be trouble seeing the 24"
800 4' circle
900 4' octagon
1023 4' square

The 700 yd target was hit 21% of the time , 800yd 40%, 900yd 29% and the 1023yd just 26%.

In the future the 700yd target will go from a 24" square to a 36", the 24" square will move to the 600yd line, all other targets will stay the same. Gooooooood luck to ya.
Don't know when the next one will be, I'll keep you posted.

Thank you Dale and Brenda

See ya next time!!!

--------------50/110 46%----69/110 63%---31/110 29%---26/110 24% ------36/110 33%
.
212 hits out of a possible 550.-------39% over the course.
Targets are as follows 600 24" square 700 36" square 800 4' circle 900 4' octagon 1023 4' square.
Before the first shoot received many comments about what a challenge that 900 was going to be due to its location, . It seems to be holding true to every bodies hunch. Its running at 25% after the first two matches. Not sure what Dale had figured out on it but he was all alone, & with a 38-55 no less! Everybody's group looked like a shotgun pattern, everywhere but on the target

Thanks go to Dale & Brenda Schweigert for allowing such a great place to shoot!!!
Thanks to the score keepers, spotters & Dale & Mark for bring 4 wheelers and helping to paint.
Special thanks goes to Walt & Dallas Scott for helping me. I haven't hurt my back, like that in a long, long time. Yowzers!!!
