Another IR 50/50 unlimited match was held at Mountain State Sportsmen Association in Parkersburg, WVA on Tuesday evening. It started out a nice warm 67 degrees but the temperatures quickly dropped to 59 degrees with a chill in the air. The match started at 6pm with 2 full relays we finished up at 9:15pm. It was definitely sweat shirt weather.
With 20 shooter I ended up on the second relay on bench 5. Lights are always a factor when shooting at night. Some rows I could see the bullseye and the next row you couldn’t see the bullseye and was just holding were you thought you should.
We shoot 3 cards, each card is worth a 250 points with 25 bullseye for a total of 750 and 75 x’s. My first relay I shot a 250 with 18 x’s. Second relay I shot a 250 with 10 x’s and the third relay I dropped 2 points in the same row and ended a 248 with 15 x’s for a total of 748 with 43 x’s. After the score are tallied I end up in 10th place. 1st place shot a 750 with 62 x’s, 2nd and 3rd place both shot 750 with 50 x’s. As I said said in the subject line that it was stiff competition, come to find out that the 1st and 7th ranked shooter in IR 50/50 was there. The guy that won 1st place was on bench #2 with the guys on bench #1 and #3 shot the lowest score. It’s all about reading the wind and the nut behind the scope driving the gun. When I drop 2 points on the same row I missed seeing my 4th flag that was turned from straight to 3 o’clock (-1) then back to straight (x’s) then it turned to 9 o’clock (-1) which showed on the targets. Lots of fun and still learning.
