At the match last month Mr. Wynne and I were having a fire side chat one of the subjects was about the new rule change for the FTR and Bipod shooters in our BR matches. Mr. Wynne made a reference about because of the recoil of these guns taking them off target every shot it was not a true BR match. OK let me stop right here and say I know very little about true BR matches. The only BR match I’ve ever shot were at Reese Bottom and I did watch one BR match at Brocks gap. So I was lost at the meaning of his statement until the ride home. Like most I’m sure my ride home is a time to replay the match and analyze how things played out and get a game plan for next month. But this ride was about true BR. And along about Eutaw it hit me. Thinking back about the match at Brocks gap I remembered how shocked I was about how fast the shooter shot his 5 shots. It was almost like a race to see who finished 1st. which was not what I was expecting. I’ve always been a slow deliberate shooter sight alignment; breath control, trigger control but these guys were load and shoot load and shoot. After the match I ask about this and the reply was their trying to shoot before the condition change. BINGO! I’ve heard this comment at Reese Bottom but it went in one ear and out the other. OK Mr. Wynne am I right on the meaning of your comment by saying it hard to shoot before the condition change if because of recoil after every shot your gun is now point towards Aunt Nancy’s house and you have to pick it up and get back on target. Compared to the mechanical rest guys shooting lighter recoil guns that don’t veer far from the target. Like I told Mr. Wynne I really don’t care if we do it by Score or by Score and Group I’m just trying to understand this stuff which brings me to this:
I believe 90% of the guns taken to the line at Reese Bottom can win on any given day. I believe 90% of the shooters that go to the line with ideal conditions can win on any given day. But if I understand the shooter that shoot before the condition change OR even better can adapt to changing conditions is the shooter that you see win month after month.
Just a little Sunday afternoon Range rambling because Mr. Wynne ask us to use this forum
