F _Class Nationals 2009
Butch and others:
Today at Butner the weather could have been nicer, the rain has subsided, the temperature was delightfull. The only bad thing was the wind. After relay one and two shot the wind began to whip up 10-25mph. The course is laid out to shoot south to north. The wind was blowing predominately from the South south-west and fishtailed back and forth. There were some early clean scores shot at 300 yards. By the time we shot 500 yards the wind was a major factor. I don't know if there were any clean scores from 500 yards.
The wind reamained a major factor but was more consistent at the 600 yard line. I heard other shooters say they did better at 600 than 500. I would expect the scores to be posted fairly quickly the stats lady had her numbers keyed in.
Todays scores have not been posted yet. They may not be posted until the entire full bore match is over.
I met a lot of really nice folks.
Tomorrow we shoot 800, 900, and 1000 yards.
Wednesday is a 600 and 1000 yard practice.
The Nationals will officially begin on Thursday.
We are having a thunderstorm tonight and it may rain some more later this week.
