Beautiful weather for this month’s match. Not too hot and very light winds. Five stages, all ten rounds. Snipers shot the same course of fire unless otherwise stated.

The grenade pitch to start Stage One, the ties breaker. Then six pistol rounds at a medium 25yd. target. From any unsupported position, sweep targets at 300, 300 and 200yds, one round each and repeat.

Prone supported on Stage Two, alternating targets at 300 and 200yds.

Sitting supported on Stage Three, engaging targets at 400 and 300yds, hit twice and move. All remaining rounds on a 200yd. target.

A Nevada Sweep on Stage Four, with targets at 300, 200 and 100yds. Sitting unsupported.

Standing on Stage Five. Engage a 200yd. target until hit twice. All remaining rounds on a 120yd. target. Snipers engaged targets at 400 and 300yds, same scenario, sitting supported.

It was great to see the unofficial flavor of the month, the YSL rifle, take the first four positions.

Possible high score of  59.
