The FTRPA September 2016 shoot in pictures

9/21/2016

2 Comments

 
The Falls Township Rifle and Pistol Association always puts up a great shoot.

Usually, it is not a difficult shoot, so people leave happy to have downed quite some targets, BUT, there are always those targets that are "separators" that prevent almost anyone from cleaning the course.
Curiously enough, the MD's (all 4 of them) at FTRPA have absolutely no problem with anyone cleaning the course. They would LIKE it!

This attitude comes from years of accumulated MD'ing. You EASILY approach the century of accumulated experience between the 4 of them.

So, my point is that the place is just beautiful, the courses are reasonable, and the competition very friendly. A very enjoyable morning of shooting metal critters with friends.

If you have never been to the club, you owe it to yourself to go there. It is an experience you will always remember.

The official report of the Match has been posted already here. But if you are like me, you will like to see pictures!  ;-)

Without further ado, here are some pictures from last weekend's match:

MD's Rich Bassett and Joel Gupta
Picture
A well attended shoot by any standards, 27 Shooters with a total of 31 guns competing
Picture

Picture
Targets that have been in service for decades. Non standard as far as dimensions pose a peculiar problem to the Hunter Division shooters
Picture
More modern targets, but still not quite the run-of-the-mill
Picture
And some completely standard targets (Gamos)

Waiting to shoot. At FTRPA no timers are used. The terrain is flat and heavily wooded.

The lane was not long, but it wasn't a picnic either.
