Want to send out a big thank you to Rosebud for hosting And to all the shooters that made the trip .
it was another really great shoot at Rosebud , weather was cool and calm on Saturday morning then warmed up nicely in the afternoon with a very light breeze , Scott Stevens dusted off his rifle from last year and beat the crap out of us shooting a teen agg in the am ,(excellent job Scott) wind picked up in the afternoon and made it more challenging , Tony Gauthier got it sorted out and led the way in the afternoon with Dan and Rick close behind , Sunday at 200 started out the same cool and calm in the early morning then about 10:30 the rosebud wind we all know and love started to show up and increased to switchy and turbulent wtf by noon , mistakes were costly , it was a fun and very challenging week end with a little something for the trigger pullers as well as the wind readers,
Rick and crew had this match running so smooth we were done with both relays by 11:30 so we got a 1 1/2 hour lunch to visit , and we were still all done by 3:30
all the improvements made to this facility over the last few years have turned an already great club into a top br range in the country to shoot at, even though we were missing a bunch of regulars we had an excellent turn out . It's one of the few areas where numbers are increasing every year for sanctioned group shooting .I believe this is because of the two things , a club that supports and encourages sanctioned competition shooting , and a big effort the local shooters put into helping ,informing and bringing along new shooters with the most current trends /info as well as equipment that is winning at the big shoots ,
Looking forward to the shoot in September and I hoping to see an even bigger group
