For the Saturday, May 9th match we had 18 shooters turn out on a brisk spring day. We had a first time occurrence on Saturday – we had our first Junior Girl serve as a Range Officer. The usual crew of old coots was unavailable for RO duties, but Miss Mia King was certified at Camp Perry as a CMP Class 2 Range Officer last summer so she had an opportunity to put her skills to the test – and by every account she did very well. Now we old guys can retire.
The well-equipped Range Officer; pen, scorecards, clipboard, iPad, timer, servers and of course – a smile!
We had five shooters shoot 50-round matches and eleven shooters fire 80-round matches (two folks did not turn in scorecards). In the 50-round match, Jim Jackson (who assisted the RO with electronic target duties – thank you Jim) took top honors with a 487-18X. Miss Aria Hobbs, another of our Junior girls, took second place (and High Junior) with a 470-5X; topping her grandfather Jess Jessup’s third place 464-8X. These kids just have no respect for their elders.

In the 80-round match Marshall Rohrbach came out on top with a 786-29X performance, followed by Mike King with 781-30X. Third place went to one of our visitors from the Toledo area, Mark Stevens with 769-12X.
The RO dilemma; Okay – where am I, what comes next – what have I forgotten?
Our next match will be on Saturday, May 30th. This is a 3 x 300 Prone Match and it is the first match of the 2026 FWRR Club Championship series. These are popular matches and once registration opens – early requests for squadding are recommended.
