The CAAFTC – Crosman All American Field Target Competition – is rolling along nicely. So it’s time for our report on the second day of this 2018 Crosman Shoot.
The Practice Range was open from 7:00 AM. Then, after the Shooter’s Meeting, the main Field Target match began at 9:00 AM. An event like this requires lots of High Pressure Air for the many PCP shooters competing. As you can see from the photograph above – there was plenty of that available at the 2018 Crosman Shoot!
As in previous years, both airgun ranges at the Brooks site were in use for the 2018 Crosman Shoot. There’s an open field range and a woods range.
Conditions on the open field range looked beautiful…
… with even the shade of trees to protect shooters and spectators from the sun…
… but the wind was brutal, as you can tell from Hector Medina’s reaction to this shot…
Meanwhile, down in the woods, conditions were calmer at the 2018 Crosman Shoot. That’s HAM specialist PCP tester Doug Rogers competing with his Weihrauch HW100 in the foreground.
Also shooting in the woods was well-known trick shooter Rick Rehm. Regular Field Target competitor Shawn Pragel from Crosman is with him to the right.
New competitors are always welcomes at the CAAFTC! Below, we see Match Director Sean McDaniel (left) with Reg Landry from Canada. This was Reg’s first-ever Field Target Match and both were enjoying it greatly, as you can see!
Thanks are due to Sean from all the competitors at the 2018 Crosman Shoot. He puts in a huge amount of work to make this annual shoot a success, yet still finds time to compete himself and have fun…
Not a FT newcomer, but a first-timer at the CAAFTC was Dennis Baker, the owner of Baker Airguns. He was concentrating hard for this shot at the 2018 Crosman Shoot…
… but showed his out-going side, too!
After the morning FT shoot and some well-earned Lunch, Kristen Coss and Tyler Patner from Pyramyd Air ran the Gunslynger speed silhouette competition.
In this “sudden death” competition Bill Rabbitt won using a Marauder. That’s Bill third from the right in the photograph below. Bill was defending his title at the 2018 Crosman Shoot. He won the Pyramyd Gunslynger competition last year also. Hmmm, could there be a trend there?
Day Three of the 2018 Crosman Shoot sees the final part of the main Field Target event. Rain is forecast. Let’s hope for some dry weather tomorrow!
