It had rained for a couple of days coming up to the match and there were still some lingering showers early Saturday morning, but by the time we were ready to start shooting – it was a fantastically clear, beautiful day. Eighteen shooters, including four Juniors came out to shoot and we had a variety of shooting irons at the match. We had Service rifles, Match rifles, Palma rifles and even some F-Class rifles show up to shoot.
Some days it pays to get up early
Even if it is a bit brisk …..
Ready on the firing line …..
In the Service rifle class, Doc Habel took top honors with a 559-12X outing. The high Junior was Tayt McDaniel (only two points behind Doc) with a 557-7X.
Our Juniors take a really different approach to scoring, but – whatever works!
In Match rifles, Mike King seriously Creedmoored Jim Jackson with a 593-32X to Jim’s 593-19X.
In the Palma group, to no one’s surprise, Joe Bakies took the top place with 597-31X. Tom Nagle was the high F-Class shooter with 549-9X.
We will start the Winter Offhand matches on Saturday, November 14th at 9:00 followed by the Winter High Power half-matches at about 10:00 or whenever the Offhand matches finish.
I know – that is the first day of rifle deer season, but if you’re not sitting in a deer stand – come out and shoot with us!
