WVPPS 1st match of the year.

[Bosshoss]

Thanks WVPPS for a fun match. Beautiful day on the range.
The wind was tough on the poppers today.

Had a great time. Stage 1and 2 ate my lunch. I need to buy a swinger or get a key to the shed. I swear I ate up 10 seconds on stage two staring at them

Someone, who will remain nameless, really threw a wrench into my stage 2 plan with a no shoot over a port. I had a difficult time coming up with a good 2nd plan. I came up with a plan but it was not good nor did I execute it very well.
I called my shots ok, I was surprised by a delta that I thought was a mike and a mike that I called a Charlie.
It was really good to get outside and shoot. I had a great time even though I had to shoot with chaney all day

Where was there Range Equipment failure?

One of the steels on the last bay didn't want to fall. No worries, we just gave everybody a hit if they shot at it.

Sounds about right

I'd like to thank Coach for letting me know about the match. I had a great time at my first match. Everyone on squad 2 was really supportive and encouraging. Weather was awesome and had a good time meeting a lot of great folks.

Sometimes I remember things wrong, what with age and stuff.

Could be the activators on bay 3 just worked down into the mud a bit and needed a smidge of support added to the rear to get the angle back about right. No big deal.

Unless you were the next shooter after said "smidge of support was added"

 

[Grelber]

Would you please fire a calibration shot

No, yakkety yack

Do you want a reshoot (since you missed)

No , yakkety yack

Then I didn't know what else to do after the crying started.

Sorry I missed this one. Likely my only opportunity with my schedule this year. Had to manage my herd of pumps and get water out of my back room.

Sores are up.

Steel in bay two and three caused one calibration request and a couple reshoots. A couple poppers were shot down and one did not challenge. The wind caused a couple resets prior to the COF. Overall I don’t think most considered it a big deal. I think most were happy to have an outdoor match with some spirited conversation.

Yeah poppers and soft ground and wind is a challenge. When said poppers are activators it can slow things down resetting them when the wind blows them down repeatedly.
No it wasn't a big deal.
After all the rain and weather we had in the past week it was great to be out in sunshine with blue skies doing what we love with friends.

Would it help to put the popper on plywood when the ground is soft?
