The weather was beautiful for the match today. The conditions started out pretty light and some good scores where being shot but by match 3 the points were falling with regularity. The wind was switchy with hard pickups and letoffs, my probes would go from a nice gentle push to maxed out in a blink of the eye and if you were breaking a shot when that happened it was 9 ring bound or worse. Cuz'n Roy Darnell took us to school w/ 250-10x score, Tommy(HFV) Mckee was second w/ 247-8x and Phil Lewis was 3rd w 247-6x. We had 13 shooters in VFS and 7 shooters in Factory class. I can't remember the young man's name that won Factory class but he shot a fine score of 240 with a hot shooting Savage in 6br. That was an excellent score for a factory gun in some tough conditions. I'm sure Jeff or someone will post the results soon so he can get the credit he deserves. Thanks to Jeff, Bob and Dennis for a fun match. See ya at the range, Steve

Great weathe, great shoot, thanks to Bob and his clan. Those two Savages, Steve Stanley spoke of, were riding a single "Tan Paint Pony" on the north side of Columbus County, (forbidden lands) (don't pass thru w/o protection. Me and fellow shooter picked them up and brought them to "The Rock" . They were cleverly disguised again this year, but they are none other than a father in law/son in law team "Papa Smurf Savage " and a cyber character "Pac Man, Heath Packer Savage. The Pac Man shot a 240 w/x amount of x's. Pa in law, Papa Smurf was @ great disadvantage, (also w/240 and some x's) shooting a 22-250. He could have easily beaten the son in law, but the _Pac Man made Smurf baby sit his 9mo old baby , 4 days straight w/little sleep. The second disadvantage, Mr. Smurf Savage allowed the Pac Man to pre-load his ammo I'd have to draw the line somewhere.
