Saturday
was another beautiful day for field target match. Only four competitors
arrived since the course is officially closed due to most of the
targets are being prepared for the 2001 Nationals.
Bennie
Davis and mark Scheu tied for match winners using their spring-piston
airguns. Bennie stated that he shot his best scores ever shooting 37
of 40 (92.5%). He was tied by Mark using his HW-97.
Saturday's
match was the first time J.P. O'Connor had shot a field target.
J.P., a 10-meter Olympic coach and competitor, is trying his hand at
competing in the 2001 US Field Target National Championship in
October. He is using David Still's Pro-Target, the same rifle
David used to be awarded First Place Team trophy at the 1999 Cajon
Spring Nationals. Since J.P. does not have much time to practice, he
is allowing David to calibrate the Pro-Target and J.P. will shoot
when he can.
