This was my final target score. I pulled a few out of the circle but none below the belt or off the silhouette.
Shout out to the Customer Service folks at Taurus USA. Through my own fault, I lost a part while cleaning the 856 a few days before the Conference, rendering it Non-Mission Capable (NMC). Nothing good ever comes from detail cleaning revolvers for me. Taurus sent me a replacement in time for me to restore the 856 to service so I could shoot the Match. That was a big relief to me.
I had fun with the match even though I certainly wasn’t ready to be competitive. After hearing the COF I made one of my goals to have everything in the circles, mission accomplished.
It amused me that a GM I know and talk trash with didn’t get all of them in the head.
That was a very tight match. I came in 68 I think, Bryan was 16th, the spread between us was .7 of a second.
