Twin Cities Rifle Club
Pleasant Hill, NC
ChrisC, the real match director, returned today after an extended absense to get a shoulder replacement. He wasted no time complaining that the sight-in range was a mess, and where are the pens I left here 6 months ago, and is this the release form from the clubhouse ( you dumbass), and there’s no ladder at target 7, and I’m NOT turning this into a job today, & DID YOU MOVE TARGET 12?
Jeeze…………… but it was REALLY great having him back! Welcome home, brother.
We set up both the gas line and the woods course for this event. It was a one shot per target, 28 lane, 56 shot match utilizing both the open, or Gas Line Course shown to the right and the woods course. Many of you may remember them from the 2021 Carolina Classic Grand PrixWe had worthwhile wind(up to 4 mph, switching direction) to keep us on our toes and the weather was great. Mostly sunny with a high in the low 70’s.
We got a late start ( about 10:45 am) due to fouling spray paint nozzles that slowed Chris & I down from getting the targets prepped. Two man squads were used without timers and we finished the match around 3 pm. We shot the open course followed by the woods with a break in between.

Both Roel (front, waving) & Josh ( background) were shooting Hunter piston at 10.5 FPE. Ro tried it for the first time today & swore if off. Josh as been doing it that way for some time.
MattS (right) with his Walther LG400 and 8-80 March. Matt is coming on stong as a realtively new FT shooter.
Since the first Saturday of 2022 is January 1, we’ll probably hold the January match on the second weekend. We plan to shoot another Euro style match and may fire up the grill between courses.
Merry Christmas to All
