Keep your lead up Steve. It is obvious that the shooting lessons you are getting from your daughters is paying off.
It's a beautiful day at Belmont with clear blue skies and just enough wind to catch the careless, which would seem to include me, Keith Hills, Andrew Burns, Matt Paroz.......But not Steve Rigby, who is on fire ! Winds are from the WSW but less than 8 mph now as we get ready for the 800
Extreme accuracy and precision shooting at long range can be a very addictive pastime.

I wondered about that too... if you zoom into the target it seems that it stands for Pin... center of the X ring

Or listening to us key bourd shooters saying click up, click up, click, no not that much.
The censors wouldn't want that, Tim. At the 900, you would be hearing a cacaphony of that "F word" !! Huge variations in conditions.......winds mainly from 8 o'clock to 12 o'clock but huge differences in the speed of the changes in direction. My own target is a good example..... lots of us with great waterlines, but 5's either side........so all we have to talk about is our "great vertical". My 54-0 gave me last place, but still well in front of Mark Fairbairn and Mile Samuels' scores with big FTR pills. Matty shot early and his conditions weren't brutal.........still they were hard, and he did a great job. Alan Fraser handled very tough conditions with class. Just into the second 900 now. Winds much kinder.

Rod, I have tears in the eyes reading your banter. Sure must be tough. Tony, we can rename it epicyclic serve. Mate, back on the horse and draw out the sabre Take no prisoners tomorrow.
