Manatee 600 yard IBS Match results 1/27/2018

[BT1]

Hi guys,

Strange day at Manatee. Morning relays had moderate but switching winds. The later relays had very difficult conditions. We had 10 to 20 mph tailing and switching winds, made some like me shoot for "poop".

Several of our more careful wind readers were still able to post some nice scores. Congratulations to those that can make any sense out of spinning wind flags. I sure can not.

As an example: I was kidding with the guys about my 5"+ wide HG group, saying it was my best of the day, ha, ha. yes, 5+" wide but look at the vertical. That Wheeler Deep Creek Tracker bra sure shoots better that I can aim.

Still a good day to shoot with friends.

2 more matches to go, so if you are in the area, enjoying our "most times" great FL winter weather, come out and shoot with us.

There are more pictures of the winners if interested.

Concur with your thoughts on the heavy gun conditions. Can't blame my Dasher. Can blame my shooting as my wind-gust corrections were obscenely counterproductive. Surprised that some shooters seemed to excel under those conditions. They sure deserve credit for their prowess.

Used a new Wheeler BRA rifle to take high score in LG. First time using it and not really tuned. It sure is "sweet" to work with. LG conditions were way more controlled and you could pattern conditions for repeatable results.

Manatee is a challenging place to shoot. Hope many are game to take on that challenge for both the February and March events.
