BAGA - Badgerland AirGun Association
2001 Season Opener
Field Target Match
The day turned out to be a picture perfect day for our first Field Target
Match of 2001. The weather was most cooperative with mild temperatures and
bright sunny skies. However, there were some of those "whirly wind
gods" on a few of the longer lanes in the wooded course. The turnout from
our membership was very strong with several of the shooters attending their
first FT Match. This is a young club and we like to see our membership grow.
The course was still a little "green" but should be up to snuff in
the next couple of weeks, especially if the weedwacker stays running. The
target layout was a little tough for a first shoot, but we'll make efforts to
correct the course and give it a more balanced design for the next round. I
estimate that it would have scored above a 40 on the Troyer Difficulty Chart.
The course was 60 shots spread out on 25 lanes. Targets ranged from 10.5 yards
to one set at 55+ yards. Kill zones ranged from 3/8" to 1-1/2" with
majority being in the 3/4" range. We had 2 off-hands and several up in
trees.
The scores were spread out quit a bit, which reflects the course' difficulty as well as the new shooters and first match jitters. Also, as a first, the new Zasadny Modified Steyr LG100 recorded its first official win. It was also good to see an old venerable springer do so well on this course…an R-1 with an 18 power scope…I was impressed. So you can see that anyone can come out and enjoy a day at an FT event with what ever you have in your gun closet.
Awards were presented at the conclusion of the event. The top three positions received Award Certificates and the first place position also received coupons for a free future FT Match entry. In addition to these awards, each participant was entered in a random raffle for prizes that were donated by club members. These included a box of pellets, an indoor/outdoor thermometer and a $25 gift certificate to a national airgun supplier. These raffles will be standard fare for our matches and all attendees will be included in the drawing. In addition to the prizes, members provided snacks, drinks and fresh fruit to help re-energize the shooters after the match. Thanks again to all the members for their donations. Again, congratulations to all winners.
