UFT at Wyandot, OH - August match report

[wolfmangreg]

Awesome weather for this month's matches- as good as it gets for August in the midwest. Right around 80 both days with low-ish humidity. Little wind on Saturday for the rimfires, only held off on one lane, & not much (more like fudged a little left in the kz). Bit breezier on Sunday, nothing requiring major hold off, but enough to take into account on four or five lanes.

Tikka & CZ rifles all around Saturday, with Lapua & Norma ammo represented. My squad mate shot Norma & did very well with it. Always liked the smell of burned powder, but have to say that Norma was the best. Almost as good as Ballistol or Hoppe's #9 .

But on to the airguns - this isn't the Hard Powder Magazine forums!

Saw Air Arms, Taipan, Weihrauch, American Air Arms, & Umarex on the course. Had a new guy shooting his first field target match of any kind. Acquitted himself quite well, especially considering he didn't have fully vetted dope for his rig.

It was an awesome weekend for shooting, probably the best one this year weatherwise. The smell of shooting rimfire ammo is about the only thing I miss from firearm shooting, but not enough to go back to it. Like we used to say in the 82nd, Airborne!

Was a welcome change from the first three matches.
May was soggy, rained all week including match days. Course was a swampy mess.
June & July were also wet, along with heat & humidity you could cut through.

Starting to mesh with the Vet II. Quite different off the sticks than most rifles I've shot. Not necessarily worse, just different. Seem to have figured out the hold & positioning she wants. Best I've shot in a while.

Greg, Great shoot and Course, thanks for all your efforts. You’ve have that Taipan II cooking, 59/60 with an older SFWA 12X scope! Congrats! Hope Roger heals quickly.

Thanks Mark! Think it was a bit lower, can I take the extra you added & apply it to next month???

Good nice to be able to judge the difficulty and how many shooters.
