Great, Thanks for posting them

Nice pictures...thanks. Looks like and I heard you had overall good weather conditions. On the other hand....this short video clip from my little Sony camera shows how the weather was for most of the HP match. Match one day one was good, but all hell broke loose for the rest of the match. Turn your speakers on.

Hmmm... Better use the heavy bullets for this one.

Now that's windy..... WOW

[Bob Mc Alice]

Yeah Bob.....was a real pain to shoot in. Day one afternoon hunter gun was cancelled after two relays due to all but the chickens were falling down. We tried shooting on the swingers, but it took too long to verify hits (by an official) . A show of hands voted to shoot two sixties instead of three 40's. The weather did not improve that much and it made for two long days of shooting in the wind. There were a few times of lighter wind, but overall scores suffered. I shot five matches with both scopes turned down to 10X. I was able to at least stay on the bank of five and it made finding the correct animal easier when you got blown to the next guys targets. Of course, Sunday morning was real calm as the weather system moved out of the area!

Bob, as you know, it's always the most calm just before the match and just after isn't it...
