I shot in a IR 50/50 indoor/outdoor match at Tuckers Creek Rimfire Club in Elizabeth W.VA. Friday night. It’s a 3 hour drive from the house but it’s lots of fun. The club house has 10 benches that we shoot of off. They call it indoors because it has 4 walls but with 10 large holes in front of the benches that we shoot through, so the cold air blowing in it still feels like your outside. They have a large wood burning stove in the back corner that gets it in the 50 degrees range inside which feels good compared to the outside temps. Plus the stove makes for a nice hand warmer after you get done shooting a relay.
We had 5 to 15 mph with switching winds which made for some good shooting. We had 16 shooter there and after the second card was completed only 4 guys was setting at a 500 score. I was in that group. Unfortunate 3 guys dropped a point which made only one guy cleaning all 3 cards. The wind ate my lunch on the 4th row on the last card. I should have be more patient and waited for my wind condition to come back in my favor. I was glad I only drop one point.
1st place shot a 750 with 48x’s
2nd place shot a 749 with 56x’s
I came in 3rd place with a 749 with 54x’s
The only way to win with this group is to clean all 3 cards with a high X count.
