Marshall Rohrbach won the Indiana State 100-Yard Championship on Saturday, September 14th at the Fall Creek Valley Conservation Club. Marshall is the first Fort Wayne Rifle and Revolver Club Junior shooter to win a state match, taking the top slot in a field of 13 shooters representing the best shooters in Indiana high power. This match is the second of four matches whose scores make up the ISRPA Aggregate State Championship.
Marshall’s victory was a bit sweeter because he outscored one of Indiana’s perennial top shooters (and one of Marshall’s mentors, FWRR member Mike King) – with a Creedmoor victory – a tied score with the winner being decided by X-count. Both Marshall and Mike shot scores of 780, but Marshall took the win with a 24X count to Mike’s 19X tally.
FWRR shooters took four of the five top places. Mike King was second with his 780-19X; Geoff Branson was third with 776-27X (high X-count for the day) and Mark Richard followed in fourth, just one point behind with 775-21X.
Gary Mabis finished just out of the top five with 768-21X, Emma Branson, another FWRR Junior tallied 758-11X and Doc Habel shot 749-11X.
Congratulations to all of the FWRR shooters – now on to Atterbury for the season finale.
