Here are a few pics from the Guns of August Midwest regional match held in Middletown, Ohio last week. We had 337 competitors from all over the US and Canada.
I have found it very difficult to get any decent photos of a shooter on the firing line since he or she is always surrounded by the timer operator and three hit spotters not to mention the fact that we are shooting through windows and doorways most of the time. Add to that the safety issue of staying behind the firing line and all I get most of the time is pictures of the shooter's backside. Any suggestions on how to work around these obstacles would be appreciated.
This first picture is of the color guard at the opening ceremonies.
Pecos Pete on the left, my shooting buddy, Vance Montana and me on the gallows platform.
That's me shooting my '66 carbine (shown in an earlier post) from the gallows with "Longeye" spotting.
End of stage 12 and the match. I managed to shoot all 12 stages without a miss. I should look happier but I was relieved.
