Nice pics, Mjutras! Looks like it was a blast!

Hopefully I won't have to work next time around Would really like to meet some fellow forum members (although not to eager to show how bad a shot I am...)

I don't think shooting skill is something to worry about- the maximum score was 48 (i.e. perfect)- but the top scorer as I recall, was 33, and someone (never shot an airgun before) managed a "zero"- i.e. no hits. Nobody seemed to have any issues- although I think a couple of the more dedicated FTA competition guys might have been upset at having an 'off day'.

we had a blast , evrething was reunited to make it super duper fun , after the ft shoot a buntch of us went to frank's place and cronied our gun , then setup a bunch of target and plink the afternoon away . this part was as mutch fun as all the rest ..

It was a great day, good company. Thanks to our host and Dave for put it together.

"Official" results were sent out today. I don't think last names were recorded, but here were the results:


Here are the results that were read out at the match. Scores are out of 48.

33 Brian
24 Duncan
21 Todd
19 Eric
18 Dave
16 Michel
11 Andrew & Marc
8 John & Jean
6 Andre & Frank
0 Kevin

There seems to be a couple names missing (don't know why) but their scores would not have placed them in the top 3 in any event.

So, as anyone can see- shooting "expertise" is not a big factor at these things as all sorts of variables can be present- i.e. weather conditions, guns being used, and so on. Hopefully no one is bothered by me posting this- but I think it serves as a good example that anyone can/should come out to these events- it is not a collection of Olympic marksman, generally speaking.

Ya, I read the same e-mail (scores) from Dave when I got home from work tonight.

Looks like he's thinking of having another shoot on May 27?

Damn!!....Might have to get my AR sooner than I thought!
