SEPTEMBER 15, 2018 - FLORENCEVILLE CENTERFIRE MTR AT 200m - RESULTS

After the Rimfire Benchrest match and the wonderful lunch was completed, several shooters went to the upper range to shoot a 200 meter MTR match off the bench. This match allowed for the use of front sandbags but no rear support other than our hand. We shot a match of 3 target bulls with 10 counting shots after having shot a sighter target at the beginning of the match.
The day had become quite warm with a temperature of 31C. The wind was cooperative, with very light head winds or quiet periods - at least where the wind flag was located. Further down the range we did not know what the wind was doing other than by using tree tops as a reference. There was a constant sun which resulted in a bit of sun-burn for the shooters and hot barrels for the rifles. Despite the hot sun, sighting was pretty good as the mirage was not as bad as we had experienced in previous matches.
During this match, Greg S. was the match director, head target changer (we used his truck to go to the targets) and head scorer (although truth be told, we all contributed to the scoring and calculations equally).
