Well the Spring Fling/ State Piston Cup is over....Lets start with our favorite item when shooting a springer.....The WIND 
yeah it was blowing!!!!!! 6-13 MPH with gusts up to 20 MPH on day 1. Day 2 was 10-14 MPH with gusts up to 22 MPH.
Even at the 10 yard target, you had to aim pretty much on the edge, or just outside of the KZ to have the pellet blown in...Not to mention just trying to stay steady on the bucket and sticks with the wind hitting you from all sides.
When you are holding off the face plate, to hit a target, it is a little unnerving looking through your scope's reticle, and seeing you are off the target you are shooting at.
Sometimes over 4 MOA!!!!!!
We had 11 brave piston shooters in the HFT class, and some more ground dwellers types also, but hey we all know HFT is where it is at!!!!!!!
Day 1 NJ got 33 out of 48 and we were 6 points in the lead!!!!!! Not sure how that happened, but it must have been the 4 out of 4 kneeling I got.....
Day 2 we fell apart and couldn't hit
24 out of 48 and I got 1 standing 
Carl was right on our heals, and if he hadn't gone 1 for 4 on his last lane he would have beat us for sure.
The top 4 scores in HFT where, 57, 56, 55, 54....Yeah it was anybody's game, but NJ pulled it off.
This makes 2 State Championships NJ has under her skirt......
Stay tuned for the next adventure of Norma Jean, coming to an air rifle forum near you
