Sunday PM Thunderstorm


An afternoon thunderstorm caused minimal damage and an hours delay Sunday afternoon. The shade cover did cause some tense moments when the wind tumbled the cover against the pine trees south of the firing line while narrowing missing the returning target painters.

View from the large shade tent after the front moved through Sunday afternoon. Most of the rugs were kept dry despite the downpour and shooters took cover in the big shade tent, the ready shed, cars and some hardy shooters rode out the storm on the firing line.








Physics mystery: Target paint propellant caused white clouds when it came in contact with the heavy moist air. The temperature dropped 20 degrees in a short time. Temps for Friday and Saturday's matches were in the low 90's.
