After the medal presentations and a really wonderful lunch provided by Jean S., six shooters went to the upper range to shoot the 200 meter benchrest/prone match.
It was still pretty cool but much better than in the morning. We had to wait for a shower to pass and Ash P. put up a handy screen tent over 3 benches. Very little rain came down after that was done but the cover was a welcome addition and would also work very well in the hotter parts of the summer. 
The sun came out after a while and stayed for most of the match but because of the strong wind, there was very little mirage to deal with. Bullet holes could generally be seen with ease - for some of us, much to our disappointment.
The wind was very strong coming mostly from the left of the range. There was only one flag up about 1/3 of the way down the range and it was whipping back and forth to the point we feared the thin aluminum pole might bend. Without indicators on the rest of the range, it was imposiible to tell what the wind was doing there but the pattern of shots indicated a left wind. Once we had made the adjustments and waited for a reasonabe wind, some shooters shot pretty good scores. The match director and statistician today was Greg S. Scorers were Ash P. and Bert deV. The range officers were Ash P., John McC. and Bert deV. We all took turns driving down to the targets to change them.
