The Cedar Springs Club Championship and Autumn Match was held 4-5 September. The (in)famous Erie Haze was much in evidence all weekend. Fog delayed the start on both days, and the light was never really clear. There was only a light breeze, coming off the Lake, which no doubt brought in more mist. Visibility was a problem, especially for those with iron sights, but it was pretty murky even through a scope. However, scores were high in the fairly benign conditions, so perhaps a clear aim is not so vital after all. There were very few target rifle shooters, most of those still active at this time of year being more attracted to Winona than the Springs. It is a pity when dates clash like that. The F Class was quite well represented in all three divisions.

All in all, it was a good weekend - just a pity that more people did not show up.

I asked the F(F) Class people what bullets they were using at Cedar Springs this weekend

Mike Halmo - 223, 80gr Sierra - score 517
Jim Thompson - 223, 80gr Nosler and 80gr Berger - score 515
Dick Moore - 223, 68gr Hornady, and 308, 155gr Hornady A-Max - score 495
Tom Maynard - 223, 80gr Nosler - score 491
David Dixon - 223, 75gr Hornady A-Max, and 308, 155gr Hornady A-max - score 485
Mike Chung - 308, 155gr Sierra - score 473

Jeff Lambe was the top TR shooter, with the good score of 440.49 out of 450.90 Bob Pastor won the overall F Class with 529/540 Mike Halmo won the F(F) with 517 Ric Melling, the F(M) with 496
