Big Bore BPCR Silhouette at Smithmoor

[Cody Smith]

Fellow Shooters,

The first monthly big bore match at Smithmoor was a success! We had 9 riflemen and women make it out. It being Quigley weekend, I was quite pleased with the turnout. Target visibility was quite good and we were lucky to get a relatively calm day to shoot. It was a bright sunny day and it did get quite warm on the shooting line without it being covered yet.. Several of us learned something about mirage as it was about as bad as it can get. Coralee whipped up some sloppy joes and Carol brought buns and some good mixed fruit. Thanks ladies for the nice lunch. Several of us were shooting either new rifles, loads, or sights and did not have sight settings which probably accounted for some of the lower scores. My sure bet new rifle and load didn't turn out so hot as I failed miserably on the lay down targets.....back to the drawing board! Dick Hennebry ended up high shooter for the day with a 20. Relatively new shooter Kevin Finney has showed huge improvement by also shooting a 20, but losing to Dick by reverse animal count. All in all, it was a great day and I very much appreciate all of the support we have had. Thanks a bunch to those that were able to make it out to shoot today as well.
take care, Cody

ps A time clock and a temperature/barometet meter got left at the range. Also, somebody accidently took an extra Stay Put shooting mat home with them as I am short one. Contact me and we will get a plan on how to get them returned.
