Field Target Club

The crew gathered on Friday to set targets and get the course in shape.  According to Van, “Overcast Friday cool slight breeze, slight wind and rain last eve.”   Friday afternoon saw the “chicken lil” silhouette game contested.  This is supposedly similar to metallic silhouette, using rimfire targets, and shot at 40, 50, 60, and 70 yards from a field target position.

Jake stated….
 "Well, what can I say?  That was another great day for shooting WFTF, and I'm sure it was for the shooters in HFT.  Van, Barry, and the many other shooters that helped set up the course did a great job.  All the targets had a very clear view of showing the KZ!  Even for us WFTF shooters that are "shooting sitting on the ground!"  Everyone was in good spirits and having a great time.   Next match I'm going to do my best to make it up there on Friday and shoot some Chicken Little.” 

Mary Ann, our club Treasurer stated….
“The best part, and I wish I’d gotten a photo of it, was Barry on his motorbike shooing the cows out of the sight-in range. “
