Six shooters and one spectator (my wife aka match photographer 
) enjoyed a cold, overcast, and windy morning of shooting today.
The conditions were as tough as the competition was in today's event. But, we had fun making the little chickens fly at 90 yards.
Here are some random shots:
One has a minute to engage five of these from 90 yards with 10 rounds from a standing start:
One's score is the number of birds left standing and the low score wins. Each shooter makes three runs at the little birds.
Peary uncases his TC Classic.
I shoot some sighters. Didn't even have to remove the turret caps as the zero was still holding from my daughter's use of the rifle in the Speed 90 Match at Thanksgiving.
Bill shoots his Ruger 10/22.
BJ left one up in the first string. I have done this before and it stings. However, he hung in there and cleaned the next two racks. You never know what little quirk or errant wind might leave the door open for you.
Watching the hits and misses.
The hat and hearing muffs were crimping my style in the sighters, so I decided to just go with ear plugs during the actual match. It was a good decision.
Keith and I loaded only five rounds instead of ten for the shoot off for first place. He finished before I had even shot my third round. I assumed he had cleaned them and I pressed down for a 5 for 5. As it turned out, I needed it to win. Keith had left one up.
Today's scores:
Place, Shooter, Rifle, Scope, Ammo, # left standing in 1st Rack, 2nd, 3rd, Total, Tiebreaker
1st Danny Creasy, CZ 452 American, Simmons Deerfield 4-12X40 AO, CCI Blazer, 0,0,0,0,0
2nd Keith McBrayer, Ruger 10/22, Barska 6-24, SK Rifle Match, 0,0,0,0,1
3rd BJ Kavanaugh, Savage Mk II FV, Barska 6-24X42, CCI SV, 1,0,0,1
4th Peary Willard, TC Classic, Tasco World Class 3-12, Federal 510, 1,0,1,2
5th Bill Parkhurst, Ruger 10/22, Nikon BuckMaster 6-18X40, CCI SV 2,1,1,4
6th Mike, Savage Mk II, Bushnell, Federal Auto Match, 3,1,4,8
Thanks for all the help in running the match fellas and thanks for taking the pics Karen.
Not sure when or where the next Raptor Match may be, but I know there will be one.
