Wild River Air Rifle (Grants Pass, OR) - USARB Report Outdoors September 13, 2017

Switching winds created interesting shooting conditions. Several times I heard, “How did that
happen?” Impacted scores with only 2 250’s, both by You Know Who. Hope to have Oliver,
Chris & our favorite firefighter from up north back one of these days.

Bemused

Yes, how many times have I said to myself, "how did that pellet just land where it did?" What I'm finding out is that one of the most important shots in bench rest shooting is the shot after one of those misses. It can be so easy to get rattled. My rule when a drop a shot now is to shoot a sighter no matter what.

By the way, nice job with the 250's Ron. Not easy to do outside.
