Well, we had an interesting day at Salem for our match yesterday. The weatherman was calling for 6mph winds, but he was off by about 15mph, with constant 5-10mph very switchy winds with gusts to 20+mph that blew our target stands over several times, even with 3' lengths of pressure treated 4x6 posts laid over the feet. There were a couple of outstanding targets shot in those conditions, both by shooters that had not shot that particular rifle outdoors before. Chas DiCapua shot a nice 248-9X with his RAW, and Ed Hosier shot a 231-4X with his FWB 300, both impressive in those conditions!!!

Here are the scores:

LV
John French (AA 400)- 242-4X, 239-4X, 227-0X=708-8X
Todd Banks (RAW) 231-3X, 237-4X, 231-2X= 699-9X

HV
Chas DiCaupua (RAW) 244-6X, 239-5X, 238-4X=721-15X
248-9X, 236-5X, 241-5X=725-19X

Todd Banks (RAW) 246-12X, 243-4X, 246-11X= 735-27X

Ed Hosier (Thomas) 244-9X, 243-9X, 241-4X= 728-22X
John French (AA 500) 232-4X, 224-2X, 235-4X= 691-10X

Springer
Ed Hosier (FWB 300) 195-0X, 224-5X, 231-4X= 650-9X

Man, oh man Todd. Let's just all hope the wind god get it out of "her" system before the NE Regionals and Nationals. But, we've all been down that road before where we're expecting one breeze only to get blown away once the line goes hot. Remember Pinnacle Mountain?

Oh, I remember Pinnacle alright. That damn range still owes me a 250, lol. I mounted a scope on my old Suhl, recently reacquired, grabbed some of Bob Holbrunners favorite lot of SK Pistol Match Special and joined Pete and the other RF guys for the 13.5lb target at todays IR50/50 match. What a difference a day makes! Most of the guys were bitching that it was too calm! Lets hope for some of that for the Regionals and Nationals!!!
 
I wasn't going to mention the 250 thing.

Glad you got your old Suhl back, and I'm sure you'll have fun with it.

And yes, let's hope the conditions are more like that at least for the Nationals.
