Having shot a 30 out of 40 last September in IHMSA's Field Pistol Any Sight (FPAS) category with the .45 Colt 625-7 for a leg up into AAA class (the next to highest) I had a year to shoot another 30 or better to be reclassed. Of course, after having done it, I went and changed the 625's RMR for another version with manually adjustable brightness, thinking it would help with dot definition. However, the new reddot's adjustments were poo! So, decided to use the high rise scoped 629 to do the deed starting early this year. And proceeded to shoot a 30 with it, but the score card was marked up for the iron sighted 29-3 (which scored a 29 that month) and turned them both in, only to discover the error too late! So neither score counted officially. Errr!!!
Then commenced to messing with Big Bore, and Field Pistol scores slipped thereafter.
So, last chance.
Started out the day cleaning all ten Chickens. And proceeded to botch the rest of the entry, with 7 Pigs, but only 3 Turkeys and 4 Rams for a 24. Ugh!
Did think to bring plenty of ammo, so shot a reentry (but no spotter), rather better, but weakening on the near critters: 8C 9P 5T and 6R for a 28. Close!
Got Kdiver58 back for spotting and decided to try once more after an excellent lunch.
Only 6 Chickens! Aieee. But not mathematically impossible to do a 30 yet, so on to Pigs: A nine. Whew!
