Field Target Finally... made it to a match this year

[wolfmangreg]

Been a rough few months between family medical situations & upheaval at work, trigger time disappeared for a good while. Was able to get a couple short practice sessions in the last 10 days or so, & got the itch for a FT match. With (miraculously) nothing planned for this past Sunday, figured I better take advantage. Had a bit of a panic when I got home early Saturday evening & started to gather my gear- only then realized I hadn't yet worked up range marks for my parallax wheel! Thankfully, weather was cooperative & was able to finish up before dark.

Hot & buggy, but had a great time anyway. This wolf really needed some time to roam the woodlands on the hunt for metallic critters.

That's a nice looking pair of AA guns! .177 or .22?

Thanks guys!

Interesting anecdote - Met a fellow shooting a beautiful HW100 with the adjustable laminate stock... & his last name was Weihrauch! Got a real kick out of that, thinking of changing my name to Greg Daystate

@Danman - The springer is a TX200 in a custom stock. He has it tuned to ~11 fpe for WFTF class. Not sure about the PCP model, will ask the fellow when I chat with him again. He's the match director & does a heckuva job at it. They're both .177.

I was shooting a Revere Safari:

Nice, sure looks like a lot of fun! It looks like my full length S510, same stock even. It's my most accurate, problem free gun to 60Y hands down.

WOLF you’re back! Glad you could get out and smell the roses for a bit. Next time you’re headed up to Wyandot let me know perhaps we could ride together? Great looking Revere.

Will do!

Honestly expected something to pop up & put the kibosh on the whole thing, right up to the minute I left. But it worked out
