Today was our monthly match at Airgunning Atlanta and it could have been a nicer day for it. The temp was in the high 60's to low 70's for most of the day with some overcast skies that kept us from burning up from the hot sun. Only 3 shooters came today, it was probably due to the nationals last weekend. David, Ken, and myself had a good time despite the low turn out. It gave us some extra time to dial in and fiddle with our guns before we got started. We also had a fellow show up who was interested in airgun benchrest and wanted to see what types of airguns we use.
We shot 56 shots today, 44 sitting, 6 standing, and 6 six kneeling shots made up the course. The course was about an average difficulty factor, not sure what it was but I would guess around 30-35 Troyer. Since we only had 3 shooters in 3 seperate classes we all walked away winners today. David shot Hunter class with a beautiful 12ftlb Air Arms 400 classic. Ken shot international with an Air Arms NJR-100 short action in a super nice figured stock I hadn't yet seen before. And finally I shot my Daystate CRX in unlimited PCP. As usual we finished off a relaxing day with lunch at our local golf course. Sorry no pics this time I was too lazy to bring it, LOL.
We will have our next match on Sunday, October 19th starting with sigh-in at 9AM and a shooter's meeting at 10AM. Plan on staying around for some lunch afterward as we usually have a gang that heads out to grab some grub and continue the fellowship.
