Don, just wanted to tell you it was a great match and was good seeing everyone again. A little windy though. But what else is new, its Ben Avery!

Dennis it sounded like from the reports coming in that the wind was dealing fits. They said today it was blowing the gravel on the berms.
Good job to all that participated.
If you get a chance give us your equipment list please.

Don here's a little frustrating example that I was facing on the 900. Shot a X first shot, a 10 2nd and 3rd shot, a 9 and fired the 4th shot, no hit...no impact and Steve couldn't see the impact either, 5th shot was over also even after a elevation change, I decided on not firing a spoiler and didn't want to poach time on Steve so needless to say I ended up with 6 misses. Steve switches over adjusts for the 8 minutes of elevation from my last shot and impacts one in front of the target. Long story short, the head wind at 90-100' in elevation that you can't see can be frustrating. But it's all good and we had a great time. I was shooting my C. Sharps Hi Wall in .45-90, 32" McGowan barrel 16 twist, BACO 459542M3 cast at 16:1 Fed 150GM primer and 80 gr. Swiss 1 1/2. The load shoots good, my vertical wind estimation no so good! Farringer did a fantastic job though, congrats to him.

Thanks Dennis. I remember well some of that weird stuff with the wind last year Ben Avery can be a tuff place to shoot for sure
Kudos to Ferringer for standing tuff all the way thru
But quite frankly I’m proud of all of you that shot the match

During the 1000 yd string Gullo lost one hat over the Butts wall due to wind, I hope he finds his other.

Last I heard they never did find it
One of those wild Burris probably ate it ?

I do know that when he went looking for his ball cap, he decided not to go poking around to much because of the rattle snakes.

Dennis,
You guys did a fine job from what I have read. I bet your hynese are dragging with all that shooting.
