FL State / SuperBowl 2008
February 2nd and 3rd .
Truly a "Super" Field Target Event !
The 2008 Florida SuperBowl Field Target Match was a Super time for all. A total of 26 shooters competed in this annual two day event which combines the Florida State Championship and the SuperBowl Field Target Match.
Two distinctive courses challenged the participants. Each course consisted of 24 targets; 2 per lane; 2 shots at each. Saturdays course was designed and set by Dick Otten (Desoto Airgunners Club) and Sunday’s course was set out by Cliff Smith and the Tampa Bay Airgunners. Together the 96 shot match tested every shooters skill and equipment. There were some close shots (under 11 yards away); and some long shots set deep in wooded areas. Targets on the ground; targets resting on stumps, and a few perched up in trees all provided a delightful variety and test of skill. Doug Miller shot a phenomenal 95 of a possible 96 "kills" earning him the Top Gun award in the PCP Division. As fate would have it he missed his last shot on the last target of the event! Harold Rushton, a relative new comer to our sport took Top Gun award in the Piston Division. Well Done.
With temps in the low 80’s by mid afternoon and only a moderate breeze to contend with, shooting conditions were nearly excellent. The weekend long festivities concluded with award ceremonies and a barbeque luncheon at Tampa Bay Airgunners hosted by the local VFW facility.
PS: Tie breakers were determined by pre-selected lane results.
PSS: For sports fans who can’t get enough; all this weekends airgunning excellence was followed by a darn good football game that Sunday evening too !
