    Field Precision Rifle Match at Palo Alto

    April 13, 2013

    We had a great turn out for a beautiful spring FPR match yesterday! 20 shooters attended during some of Palo Alto’s trickiest windage conditions. A fish tailing wind and building mirage created a great learning experience for some brand new shooters and a humbling experience for the seasoned veterans. Out of 14 shooters using a rear bag rest, Ted Torres managed to come out on top with a 581-19x. Mark Olivier took second with a 578-11x and Chad Morris in third with a 575-18x.


    In the *No Bag* class, Jay Meynier shot impressively with a 565-13x, especially considering he was using three different bullet loads! (175SMK, 173FMJ, and 168SMK) We also had a handful of F-Open practice shooters and awarded a medal to Taylor Boudreaux for her top score of 575-19x.


    The next FPR match is Saturday May 11[SUP]th[/SUP]. Mark your calendars and bring a new shooter along. As always, friends and family are welcome to come spectate, cheer on, and/or cook!

    Ted and Rick, thanks for a great match! The fishtailing winds that you set up were quite challenging!
