The turnout was not large. Eight guns were shot, all UAS. Ginny and Richard came and they started out in big bore, Ginny shooting her TC in 7mmTCU and Richard shooting his XP in 6BR. All seemed to be going great. The shots were cracking and the targets were falling. I started out shooting the XP in 7mmTCU. It is our “go to” gun when we want a good score. It started out perfect. Ginny and I tied in UAS international with perfect scores of 40 x 40. This was a great day for both of us as Ginny’s TC was a bit hesitant to start the day shooting but when it started shooting; it did not want Ginny to miss. This was my first 40 x 40 since the eye doctor took away my contacts. Brenda had chosen to wait until after lunch to shoot so when Ginny, Richard and I were finished shooting big bore, we all sat down to a leisurely and enjoyable lunch.

Do remember, when you shoot at Dugdemona Silhouette, the lunch is free.

After lunch we had another husband and wife competition. It was small bore UAS with the West’s in International and the Kirste’s in AAA. Again, Ginny came out on top. Ginny is having an outstanding year in small bore UAS. However, for the men’s side, I finally outscored Brenda in small bore after many matches were she has been showing me the way to shoot small bore. However, it was close as we both missed the first Chicken.

To finish the day, Brenda borrowed my 7TCU XP to shoot her first big bore round. She was well on her way to shooting a AAA score in her first match until she came to the last batch of rams. They would not fall for her but she still had a good starting score of 32.

Brenda and I really appreciate the West’s making the drive from South Louisiana. The weather was perfect, and all who attended had a good time. We plan to shoot a small-bore only match on July 19th and another big bore match on October 16th. The weather should be absolutely perfect in October for a big bore match. If you missed this one, you missed a really good shoot so don’t plan on missing the October Match. The food is free and we expect the shooting to be great.
