By this time of the day, the temperatures in the open had become quite warm and the sun beat relentlessly on those six brave souls who risked melting. Thank goodness there was a little breeze from time-to-time but it was impossible to know what the winds were further down range.
Targets were large enough and orange enough to shoot at 200m but the mirage at that time of day made it almost impossible to see where the shots were printed. As a result we would all concentrate and once in a while, when the breezes blew, we would get a hint of a dark spot on the target and this became our reference point. Needless to say, our scores were nothing to "write home about".
After one set of targets, we, very sensibly I must say, unanimously decided to call it a day. We tallied our scores and multiplied by two so that the scores today could be comparable to scores from other matches.
It was definitely another learning experience and the source of a lot of discussion on the way home.
