Roger Avery Wins at River Bend

Roger Avery overcame some switchy winds to win River Bend's monthly club match. This month was a score match shot in overcast, threatening weather that didn't really have much windspeed until the last few minutes of the last target of the day [ ask me how I know this :rolleyes:]. It WAS the nomal mixed up conditions that we have battled most of the year with it being rare for all your flags to show the same condition.

The temp was down about 10 degrees below what we have been having this month which was appreciated. There was only a few moments of mirage at the start of one of the last 100 yd targets but it went away before anybody started shooting their record shots. There were 13 shooters with 4 factory rifles and 9 BR rifles.

We started out at 200 where we had 6 shooters go clean. The highest number of 250's shot at 200 in the previous 2 matches of the year is 3 so Roger's presence must have made everybody bear down a bit more :D . Roger and Jim Andress tied for the 200 yd win with 250-13X. Wes Burke was 3rd with a 250-11X. Bill Griffith shot a 238-2x to beat the other 3 factory class shooters.

After lunch we moved the target frames to 100 yds. The conditions didn't have much wind speed but there was enough going on to make shooting a 5X pretty difficult. Only seven 5X targets were fired and only Bill Dittman and Roger Avery managed to shoot 2 of them. Steve Black did manage a 5X with his Bruno built 6BR. Bill Dittman won the 100 yd segment with 21X with Roger second on 20X. Wayne Hunt lead the factory guns with a 247-4X.

Thanks but it was all the gun. It had 28 rounds on the barrel when I went. The magic man Mr. Rivers just did a superb job chambering it. All I had to do was pull the trigger. roger!!
