AMAZING!
FANTASTIC!
INCREDIBLE!
Those a just a few of the words that come to mind when describing the 22BR shoot in Lake George last Saturday. What deserved such hyperbole ? Well, I'll tell you. First of all, the weather. It started out at -29C early in the morning when we drove to the range. The temperature had risen to about -18C when we started the match and rose to a balmy -12C by the time we had finished it. What saved us was that there was almost no perceptible wind, except very close to the target stands. The sun was very bright and reflected off the snow with a blinding glare and also caused a reflection inside the scope.
Despite all this - the first set of 20 counting bulls shot produced 7 perfect targets - yes seven out of 12 shooters did not lose even one point for the first target. The top 3 shooters ended up shooting a perfect match and entered the Lake George 400 club. Congrats to John Mc., Terry McN. and Bert deV. Pretty amazing - something I've not seen since I started shooting.
