We truly thread the needle. On Wednesday, December 30, in the year of COVID, we saw snow and low temperatures. On Thursday, December 31 we had dry conditions, little wind, and temperatures outside hovering around 30 F. Moreover, in the tent it was easily over 40 maybe even higher. As I type this report on January 1, 2021 I watch the sleet falling. So, we definitely were able to thread the needle for our New Years Eve match.
When Ray and I arrived at the range at about 8:45 AM, we were pretty lonely, but at about 9:00 AM cars and trucks started arriving. Order lines (or squadding lines) often follow a poisson distribution. Which is to say it is random with clumps. Normally, I see a single “clump”. For this match we experienced about three clumps. Which is to say we had a lot of entries. Seventeen (17) to be exact. This was the largest New Year’s Eve match in our history.
For demographics, we had: seven (7) F-Open, four (4) F-TR, three (3) Palma Rifle, two (2) Service Rifle, and one (1) lonely Any Rifle shooter. The high competitors were: Marcel Bollinger, F-Open 400-28; Scott Burr, F-TR 399-23; Ray Gross, Palma Rifle 397-23; Derek Stratelak, Service Rifle 379-12; and Matt Wieczorak, Any Rifle 391-13.
