Looking like a front may pass through Sat night into Sunday morning. Winds changing from Southeast at 15-25 to Northeast at 15-25 by mid morning Sunday. Are they likely to call the match Sunday morning or wait it out a little while if it looks like it may pass through by 9-10?
I just printed the stickers for the rifle weight certification. Remember, 8.25 kilos (18.18lbs) for F-TR including bipod and mirage shields, etc; 10 kilos (22lbs) for F-Open including mirage shields, etc and 3 inches width on the fore-end of the stock. (We will have hacksaws, axes, knives and drills if adjustments are needed.)
What scale will be used this time? That fish weight scale used at one of the matches last year was not too friendly to me vs the other scale used prior... Or perhaps my rifle has just accumulated a few oz's of crud over the years...

We don't have power at the 1000yard line. We would need to bring a generator.Never discount an industrial belt sander as a viable option to meet the weight requirement.
That time of year again next weekend at Bayou Club south of Houston TX. Team match Friday, individuals Saturday and Sunday. Match is almost full according to the email I read yesterday, if you wanna get in do it soon! Extended weather forecast is showing 20-30 mph winds Friday & Saturday, if that holds up it's gonna be fun!............Looking forward to seeing everyone again and hoping to meet some new shooters as well, expecting to see a well run very competitive match!........

We work with the weather outlets to show extreme forecasts like this so we don't continue to have the reputation of only shooting cupcake conditions.
When you show up it will be 2-3 mph steady cross wind with overcast and just a little mirage just to see the wind speed change from 2.5 to 2.7 mph. And for goodness sakes just stop shooting when its gusting at 3 mph! Ha! ...Dreaming
Perhaps we need to order a pallet of bricks to keep the targets from bobbing around. And a basket of clamps to keep the targets in the target frames..?!
Same conditions as last year!
Nothing more frustratingugh.. I hope my vertical is not like last year! I was making perfect 12 O'clock "8" wind calls....
Just shorten the barrel with a hacksaw! A perfect crown is overrated.Hand file, hammer and chisel, lots of options.
Come on Jay, make it happen!dang, I was planning to go to this back in February. Any other weekend than this and I would have.
