A few of the "brave" souls that decided to shoot last night's HPM match in the rain...ya'll know the range is covered right? Foreground to background: Len Remaly, Chuck Cannon, and John Payton.

We had record low attendance at last night’s HPM. Many of our regular shooters are competing in GA and a few wimpy competitors decided to stay home because it was raining. There was very little wind but it was pretty dark with all of the rain clouds and downpours. I tested a few lots of Eley Black since the wind was fairly idle. The first lot was pretty good and gave me a 200-16x so I’m looking forward to testing it again to see if I get similar results. In the end, Len Remaly and myself ended up tied with a pair of 399-27xs narrowly beating out Chuck Cannon with a 398-31x . Len won the tiebreaker with the higher second stage target and won the match. Complete results are here.

After the match we were treated to a homemade blueberry/raspberry pie made by John Payton and his wife…delicious!
