Match Results

Match results for the 600yd 45rd Fullbore match held today in East Wenatchee, WA.

The event went well after a bit of stuttering initially as people got acclimated to the Fullbore match format combined with the alternative (new) scoring system. Temps into the low to mid 80's, winds were moderate, 8-12mph w/ occasional gusts to 15+, and the direction swinging from 7-9 o'clock with some regularity. I know I had from as little to 1.5 moa to as much as 3.5 moa of wind on the gun (shooting a .308) throughout the day. Just fast enough the mirage wasn't much help, and the flags were close to maxed out as well. Definitely made things... interesting

Two sling shooters battling it out for Match Winner, two people shooting 'Other' - a little father-daughter competition going on there, and not quite enough F/TR or F-Open shooters to break either one out as a separate class. All in all a nice little match - I think good fun was had by all.

Thanks to all who showed and helped make the match a success.
