Shiloh Rifle Forums

Got word through the border telegraph that Woody spotted Aviator to an overall Match Win today C-1 P-10 T-10 R-9 at Friendship.

If the Shooting Machine keeps this up nobody will be glad to see him show up at a match.

Thanks for the kind words.
Of course, the prior day's match was considerably more humbling for me.....

Now, if I could only learn how to shoot chickens....

Seriously, 40 plus shooters had a great time this weekend shooting two days of BPCR Silhouette.
Plus, Friday was a 22 Silhouette match, with classes for Traditional rifles, and for more modern rifles.

I'll get the scores posted as soon as possible. Three great days at Friendship, shared with friends.

We're always glad to see Steve show up. Hell, if I only went to win I would have given up a long time ago. Steve is a nice friendly guy good to talk with and be around just like almost all the other BPCR shooters. I hope to see him somewhere this summer at a shoot and we will all have a good time no matter who wins.

Thanks, John!
I go to have fun also!
I am humbled much more often than I win.
I take each shot and each wind guess seriously, but as Woody says, no one is shooting back at you.
I am as glad when a wind guess is good as when I make a good shot.
I have been lucky to have several experienced folks take an interest in helping me get better.

Steve you and woody should come to Kentucky for the spring fling. You too Mr Bly!!

Lora sent me the scores, so here they are.

Friday dawned cold but dry after a night of high wind and rain. 24 shooters contested in two classes. Traditional, (15), and Modern, (9).

Although it was severe clear, it was also very windy and cold. When all the grumbling about missed wind calls was done, Doug Gazeway managed to post a 29/40 for first place and a one ounce silver coin, with Jim Davis close on his heals with a 28/40 for second, and Steve Hubbard coming in third with a 27/40.

In the modern class, Sandra Pool posted a first place win and silver coin with a score of 28/40. Second was claimed by Kent Frye with a 26/40, followed by Chris Kenney for third with a 24/40.

Saturday was clear and again cold, but the wind had softened only slightly. Saturdays results are posted below.

Sunday was again severe clear and started cold, but quickly turned into the best day of the match, with coveralls being shed early. The wind also laid down, but she also threw a few curves to keep the spotters on their toes. The results are posted below. I see I forgot to mention that the match on Friday was the .22 match.

Looks like the Shooting Machine is picking up the the finer points of spotting for silhouette also.
Certainly has done so in target already.

Amazing young man.

Zack,

The "Shooting Machine" is in fact doing just that. I'm generally a fast shooter in silhouette, and he was ready with a wind call as I was ready to close my eyes and jerk the trigger.

This match was an experiment for me also. I pushed BACO bore wipers for both days of the match. Zero leading at the end of each day of shooting. I don't know that my score or vertical was any better but it was encouraging. I don't believe that my blow tubing days are over yet.

Woody

Ahh the benefits of youth. I wonder if he is tinting his temples with come alive gray by Revlon just to fit in with the older crowd?
