Here's some pics for those interested. It's nice to see some sunshine even if it is only in a picture. Btw, are we getting the match reports mailed out or emailed? Anyone know?

Saturday Pictures
Those were from Saturday no doubt. My flag stands vibrated so much with the wind we had on Sunday, that one of my weights fell off my flag and another was loose and ready to fall. It was a COLD wind too but benchresters are tough. Tee shirts on Saturday, winter coats on Sunday. That's Arizona. -----Bill

Thanks guys. Glad you like the pics. I took them on Friday during practice. It was even calmer then than Saturday.

I was there - -
The week between Christmas and New Year. I had hope to be able to get in to have a look around but was not able to. That week was COLD! Made me wonder why folks go there to spend the winter. Went to Tombstone on Thursday of that week and it was 27* with ice on the sidewalk and everyone in all that they had with them to wear. I'll be looking farther south for a place to spend the winter, me.

Hummmm!
OOOOHHHWOOOOW.....! Man that's juuuust a bit left to right... Let's see.... I'll hold here....Bang............HHHHHOOOOOOO!
Been there done that!!!
Guess a <1.500 at 200 woulda been considered good on Sunday! Letups with adjustments (windage in the wind) would be KILLER!
Ruff stuff!

You would have had a lot of 10" penalties on Sunday and some pretty blank targets.
Seriously, though, there were times when the wind probes would be pointing straight up -- that was when there was a 40 mph wind blowing in your face. Conditions changed from 200 yds inward the target above was the result. The 40 mph headwind changed to a 40 mph quartering wind then a cross wind. The probes went from straight up and down to horizontal. Bad Ju Ju.

Turk Takano sent me these taken on sunday.
This picture of my target reminded me that I need to get the details on how to adjust the sensitivity on my Kelbly trigger. The 2 shots on the left were the head on condition that I was trying to shoot. The 3 shots on the right are from the quartering wind gusting so hard that the wind was firing my gun. I had a total of 6 shots go off by themselves in the afternoon.
So how do I reduce the sensitivity on my Kelbly trigger?

You were looking for the same condition we were-(headwind). Velocity intensity didn't sseem to matter-if you could hit that headwind just right you could make out with .5 or .6. Louie was getting a little smaller-he was very quick. I would wait until my Graham flags looked like a bunch of salmon swimming back and forth upsteam and try to get through before the quarter winds came back. The flags would whip back and forth and you could just see the tails of the flags. When you saw this condition it was get them down there as quickly as possible. If I had that movie of yours, I would host it and post it here. 30 seconds of video would drop most people's jaw to the floor.

Lawrence,
Are you serious about the trigger adjustment, not sure if you were just having a joke or not ??
The sear engagement is at the front part of the trigger blade itself, accessible from the bottom of the rifle through the trigger guard. You may need a ball end allen key to get to it readily. It is a 1/16th if I am not mistaken.
Depending how fine the sear enagagement is already you may need a little more to make the trigger a little more positive. A tiny turn anti clockwise will add a little more sear engagement. You don't want to much of course or you'll have creep.
At the front of the trigger housing, you will need to remove the trigger if it is a glue in, is the spring preload and overtravel. If the sear engagement is already OK you might just need a little more spring preload.
My Kelbly trigger came set up kind of odd in that there was no spring preload at all and the trigger was basically resting on the loose spring. That made the pull as light as possible but also made it subject to not cocking ocassionally and produced a smidge of creep now and again since the trigger didn't rest in a well controlled position. I wound on a little spring and corrected the sear, it is now right at 2oz and crisp as the proverbial glass rod. Before it was around 1.5 ounces and just a little fussy due to the way it was set up.
Here is a link to a PS article on the trigger, you may have seen it, it has cutaway pictures which show what is going on inside the trigger.

So that was the secret. Well what about those of us in the middle lanes that never got a headwind?!
I watched Bryn Borras plop down a .180" on the bench next to me in that quartering crap to take the small group and it blew my mind.
Hey, great pics of Sunday by the way. The dust bowl is really eye opening. Thanks Turk.
