The Nor'Easter blew threw on Friday pushed by cold gusts of wind that made Saturday's match a real challenge. Some competitor's estimated the winds to be gusting at 75 mph.:rolleyes:
I'm a little more conservative and would say 30 mph tops. The temps started out at 47 and worked up to a toasty high of 52.

Regardless, there were no dominant wind conditions -- just gusts and more gusts, switches and more switches.

Congratulations to the winnners!!

Michael,

I really enjoyed the season at Southampton and am now looking forward to next season. Thank you for everything.

Hi Everyone,

First, thank you Michael, thank you for running these matches, thanks for the T-shirt and thanks for the book. A job well done. One more important thank you goes to Maryellen for the great eats, delicious! :D

Let's split the wind speed down the middle. My guess is around 50mph gusts. I was watching the trees and waiting for one to come down.

Below are a few pictures from the match. you notice the wind prob cups laid over hard to the left? That was more the norm than the unusual. More than one flag or probe hit the ground...

Thanks Michael,
For starting Easthampton shooting rimfire this year. Will try to make most of your shoots next year. Great place and people to shoot with. See you in the spring.

Michael,
Thanks for giving us another place to shoot. You just might have the best attended matches in the North East, and we're all looking forward to shooting at Easthampton next year, whether you get the other benches(nicest benches in the NE, too!) up and running or not!

As far as the wind on Sat., Pete and I both shot during Hurricane Ivan at the Nationals in '04, and both agreed that the only difference between shooting in that hurricane and the Nor'easter we had on Sat was that it was drier at Easthampton. I've seen flags blow over before, but Sat. was the first time I've seen a piece of a flag float 30 feet in the air and land 75 feet from where it launched:eek:
