Results from "Spring Gun Only" Match
by George Gardner
July's Airgunning Atlanta match temporarily retired the Precharged guns in favor of a "Spring Gun Only" match. Walt Roller was the winner with a score of 39 out of 44 using his TX-200. Ken Hughes paired with George Gardner using George's Custom 77 and took Second Place with a score of 34 out of 44 shoots.
George took Third Place with a score of 33 out of 44 targets. It is tough to be beaten with you own gun.
Doug Vinson captured Forth Place and Bennie Davis came in Fifth. All had a very good time and the weather was excellent. Next month we will be back to our normal guns and the course will be expanded to use more lanes; approximately a 60 shot match.New Flash. Walt Roller has a new toy. This one causes his butt to get sore. A bicycle for Walt? For other in the club that own and ride bicycles there is a new trail in Cobb county that you should check out. It is called the Silver Comet Trail.
To all, shoot well.. See you in August.

2000 World Field Target Match
Covington , GA July 10, 1999
Airgunning Atlanta received a call from Tom Ittery from Hernando, Mississippi, stating that his club, MSTS, would allow Airgunning Atlanta the opportunity to host the 2000 World Field Target Match at Atlanta's Wolf Creek Olympic Shooting Complex.
After polling a couple Airgunning Atlanta club members, it is the consensus that this event is of a size that Airgunning Atlanta membership feels will be overwhelming with an estimated 120+ shooters in attendance. Comparing the World Field Target Match to the recent 1999 Georgia Southern Regional Match with 36 shooters provides Airgunning Atlanta with a measurement of the intense coordinated effort that will be required if Airgunning Atlanta were to host the World Championship match in year 2000.
Airgunning Atlanta has received a green light from the Wolf Creek Olympic Shooting Complex to utilize their Olympic grade 3-D Archery course to accommodate the 2000 World Field Target Match. It just seems that we have not recovered from the May 1999 Georgia Southern Regional Match and cannot see exerting the same amount of effort all over again on an event four times larger and not even held at our own match location.
