Stage 1 was a strange experience... 7 Ps for 20 shooters! Why?
1) The early-morning cold air chilled our brains?
2) Emanations from the sewage treatment plant affected judgement?
3) Tuesday shooters "blow and go!" - P's be damned!
4) Sweeping the targets three times from the same direction seemed far too simple, so many chose to sweep back and forth in order to confuse themselves? Bingo!!!

I don't really know how to explain the misses, but the targets were big and at a reasonable distance - same as we will be shooting this Saturday. As for me? It is (sort of) excuse #3 as I do try to push myself and try new things on Tuesday matches.
Glad so many came out to shoot today! 20 shooters is a new record. We will have to go to two posses soon if this keeps up. Thank you Lightning McCoy and Tombstone for running the clock today.

p.s. I put some photos from the match on the website.
