I shot another IR 50/50 unlimited match at Mountain State Sportsmen Association in Parkersburg, WVA on Tuesday evening. We had 19 shooters in attendance. With only one match to go before the seasons come to a close.
I ended up on the second relay on bench 3. The wind was decent most of the night. I watched the first relay shoot and I picked out 3 wind conditions that it mainly was blowing. A head wind, 10 o’clock and some times from left to right. I decided to mainly shot in the head wind but sometimes I would shoot the 10 o'clock wind.
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 first relay I shot a 750 with 17 x’s. The second relay I dropped a point on target #1 for a 749 and 11 x’s. My last card I shot a 750 with 16 x’s. I ended up a 749 and 44 x’s for the night. Super happy because it’s the highest x count I’ve ever shot. So close to a 750 but another swing and a miss for the perfect 3 clean cards for a 750. So close….. I ended up in 5th place for the night.
I was shooting over flags on bench 3. Bench 1 and 2 had no wind flags. Lots of flags to my right that I never looked at because the wind was always blowing in my face or from the left. The guy that got 1st place was shooting on bench 1 with no flags. Go figure! Talk about a good shooting gun with the right ammo that was tuned for his gun. Wow
I’ve said in the past that this group is some stiff competition. Check out the score just in the top 12.
