That was not so bad, sure it got warm by @ noon, but by then we were Done !!

So this is our story from the June SVFTC match held at the Yolo shooting facility in Davis, Ca ......

As in the past we had members at the gate with more arriving shortly there after having our 48 SHOT match getting set up super fast! All in attendance 17 were given 1/2 hour or so of practice before we did our shooters meeting and got after the killin' of the steel quarry by @ 9:30 there about.

With the forecast of wind and actually a fair breeze blowing during set up, course difficulty was backed off a bit as was the number of shots to deal with the heat also forecast for Sunday.

Squads were assigned leaving us to have one squad of 3 where our Co-Leader Jim C was assigned (to crack the whip and keep em moving). Must have worked because they never fell behind or held up other squads on their heels. Not more than an hour or so into the match those winds that blew earlier really laid down allowing some darn fine shooting to take place. Never heard a call for a cold lane or any target malfunctions which certainly help speed us all along.

We all finished up give or take @ noon with a few stragglers taking more time that would be typically allowed at a major FT match, but hey this is club match where FUN rules the day. ( just worth mentioning being we talked about being time conscious at the shooters meeting ) ... LOL it's all good.

Clean up was SUPER FAST with most giving a lending hand to get us out of the up ticking heat. After completion 10 or so stuck around for lunch in the AIR CONDITIONED club house where we had sandwiches, chips, cold refreshments, cookies and WATERMELON !!

Wanted to pay respect to a few shooters who really have upped their game. Zack who has been shooting with us for a couple years recently made the switch from a Piston gun to a PCP and this was his first match with us as a cookie eating/dark side convert ... Well done my friend!

Praise also goes out to a relatively new shooter with SVFTC, Tom K who has picked up the game really fast and is shooting some impressive scores ... Very well done !

Here are the day's results ..........
