We had a really good turn-out for the match on Saturday August 9th, especially considering that the Camp Perry matches had just completed and it promised to be a hot, humid day. We had two full relays with a single shooter on a stand-along overflow target.
For the first time we also had three shooters shoot a 100-shot, a 1000-point aggregate match. It was hot – it was muggy. We didn’t have much wind to speak of and everyone sweated a lot – but nobody seemed to have any heat issues.
It’s nice to have a full line!
In the 100 round match, Gary Mabis took the top place with a 962-25X, followed by Mike King with 957-32X. In the 80-round match, Marshall Rohrbach took first place with 785-23X (which should complete his 240-round string to make him a CMP Master). Mark Richard was second with 774-24X and Dan Wigel took third with 745-17X. Kileen Shafer was the top Junior in the 80-round group with a722-12X.

Our next match is Saturday August 16th, the Leonard Johnson memorial Match. This is “The Toughest Two-man Team Match in the Country”; .22 rimfire rifles at 200-yards and center fire rifles at 300 yards fired on the MR-42 target.
