GRAND AMERICAN 2022

The Grand is well under way and today is day 2 for John Davis and myself. Day 1 we both shot doubles. John shooting a Parker GHE, vent rib, double triggers, BTFE went a respectable 89 out of 100. I shot a 55 using a GHE for the first 50 and a DHE for the second. The pic below is John shooting today in the prestigious Champions of Champions 100 target competition. We both shoot another round of doubles and a round of handicap. More to come….

I assume from the picture of John above that they do not use human pullers at the Grand now all voice activated ?

That’s correct.

So John ended up with a 98 in C of C. We then moved on to the handicap competition. The skies have cleared but a stout headwind has kicked up. JD posted a 93 from the 23 yd line. I shot handicap from the 20 yd line and broke 74 out of 100. Our final competition today is Doubles. Update to follow.

So we can say John was sandbagging in the doubles with an 89/100??

Not hardly

We finished the doubles competition around 5:00 pm. It’s a fun, fast paced event. John had 94 and I had 72. I was happy with that. My right shoulder is really getting sore from recoil. I obviously haven’t practiced enough to build up a tolerance. It took 20 or 25 shots before it started loosening up enough for me to shoot somewhat comfortably. Tomorrow we shoot the Singles competition. That’s 200 targets from the 16 yard line. I’m hoping my shoulder will be able to handle it

Good shooting to both of you. How hot was it?
