Yellow indicates the stage winner. I won the first stage and did mediocre on the rest. Since there were four stages and four strings (five actually, but the slowest string is thrown out) per stage being down 11.69 seconds means that I averaged less than three quarters of a second more per string than the match winner. It was a closer match than it might look like.
I came in second on the bowling pin side match:
AdamM: 21.63
JoeH: 23.21
Don W: 25.61
MikeB: 29.40
BobU: 30.33
RogerW: 37.84
MikeC: 42.94
JohnG: 43.30
Had I known there was going to be the bowling pin match I would have brought different ammo. I have some hollow point bullets loaded a little on the “warm” side specifically for bowling pins. As it was the ammo I was using didn’t have as much momentum to transfer and had a greater tendency to bounce off from a less than direct hit. That might have made the difference between first and second place. But there is no shame in coming in a close second to Adam.
