High Power Season Closes With a Fantastic Match!

What a way to close out a High Power season!

We had everything that a High Power Match could ask for.  The weather was outstanding.  The day dawned bright and just a bit frosty, but as the sun warmed the range, the frost vanished and the morning light on the targets contrasted with the fall colors to make a picture that looked like a fall postcard.

A beautiful start to a great match!

Then, there the helpers.  We weren’t going to shoot until 9:00, but when I got to the range at 7:30 (yes, almost in the dark) there were people already setting up targets.  Who could ask for a better crew to support a match? 

And yes, the sky really was that blue on Saturday!

Next, if you are going to have a match, you need shooters.  How about the biggest crowd of the year; 25 shooters?  We had Grand Seniors, we had Juniors, we had Service Rifles, Match Rifles and a contingent of Palma and F-Class Rifles in the match – just about every ingredient you could ask for a match.The match was a 3 x 20 300-yard prone match. 

A great bunch of shooters and a beautiful morning.
Looking from the high end to low end of the line

We set it up to be a casual fun match – shooters were assigned firing points and each group of shooters decided how they would fire the match.  One group of shooters shot all 60 rounds at once and another shot the match 20 rounds at a time.  If someone was waiting for a shooting position and one came open, we just swapped firing points and kept the match moving.

How well did it work?  We started a little after 9:00 (there were some last minute oh-pooh’s in getting set up) and finished a three relay 3 x 20 match by 11:58!  This was a great bunch of shooters who moved the match right along.

Ashley Stevens works with Addysin while Tayt tries to figure out why everything goes backwards when he turns the knobs!

And, even after five seasons with the Silver Mountain Targets, we still manage to discover new things.  The guys on target 5 made a new and mystifying discovery.  If you made a sight correction, the point of impact moved the wrong way.  Upward elevation corrections moved the point of impact down and right windage corrections moved it to the left. When we cleaned up targets at the end of the match, we discovered the exact combination of swapped cables on target 5 that made for backwards corrections!  Maybe we need to send some folks back to kindergarten to learn their color words when they install targets. (We’re poking fun at ourselves – not fussing!)

We had three categories of shooting yesterday; Service Rifle, Match Rifle and Palma/F-Class rifles.

In the Palma/F-Class group, standings were:

First                      Joe Bakies           598-41X

Second                 Tom Bonner        596-34X

Third                     Lewis Levin         553-12X

Match Rifle settled out like this:

First                      Mark Walters     591-26X

Second                 Ron Dague          578-13X

Third                     Jim Jackson         575-12X

And the Service Rifle shooters:

First                      Ashley Stevens                  596-26X

Second                 Gary Mabis                         591-14X

Third                     Mike King                           590-20X

Fourth                  Marshall Rohrbach           571-16X  (High Junior)

These were great scores and there were a lot of good scores for the day. One great story of the day is Miss Aria, our newest Junior shooter in her first match (another left-handed 12-year old girl).  She swapped rifles this week and is shooting a full sized rifle that weighs as much as she does – well, almost – maybe.  She started with a 153-2 for her first string.  After a bit of a rest, her second string was a 173-0X and then she finished up with a third string of 189-4X.  That was really good shooting Miss Aria!

It was a great day – we had fun and everyone enjoyed a great match; a most excellent way to close out a high power season. The only problem – what do we do to make high power shooting even better next year?

We start Winter Offhand on Saturday, November 9 at 9:00 AM, and follow up with a Junior Class and the Winter 40 shooters.  Come out and join us!

FWRR Junior High Power Shooters Present High Power Clinic

What do college basketball coaches and Junior High Power coaches have in common? 

Both of them have to recruit to keep top performers in their program, and FWRR is no exception.  Our best source of new Junior shooters is the DeKalb County 4-H shooting sports program.  4-H shooters go through BB gun, air rifle, air pistol, archery and .22 rimfire shooting classes and after they complete these classes, many of them want to continue shooting in a more advanced formal program.

FWRR member Patrick Jessup heads up the DeKalb 4-H .22 rimfire program and last summer he invited FWRR representatives to come out to a 4-H shooting session and make a presentation about the FWRR Junior program.  Larry Beardsley and Mia King made a pitch to the group and Mr. Jessup gave us a list of prospective shooters.  We followed up with the prospects and decided that we had enough interest to hold a class for prospective 4-H shooting sports graduates.

We set October 12 as a date that worked for everyone and we worked on a class curriculum.  We decided that the CMP GSM class met our needs and we did some modifications to focus on the AR rifles we shoot in our Junior program.  We have a diverse and capable set of Juniors and we decided that the Juniors would have a major role in presenting this class to give back to the Junior program.  Mia King is a 4-H Instructor and a Certified NRA Pistol Instructor and Tayt Shaffer, our youngest Junior, is willing to try anything (well, at least once) and they agreed to help with the class.

We divided up the CMP curriculum and Mia took the parts dealing with Preparing the shot, Breathing, Trigger Control and getting into the actual positions.  Since I am way too stiff to bend into the positions, Tayt was our model – demonstrating different aspects of the Offhand, Sitting and Prone positions.

Mia King and Tayt Shaffer demonstrate the prone shooting position during the October 12 High Power Class

We had a very good turnout for the class; six students and three parents were present.  We welcomed parents because we want them to know just what we are doing with our program.  The classroom session went very well and after lunch, we had a shooting session.  While the students ate lunch, we zeroed three rifles at 100-yards and we had the students shoot from sandbags to work on operation of the AR rifles, practice trigger control and get used to using a scoped rifle instead of open sights.

We had a very good turnout with six students and three parent observers

Each student shot 20-rounds in their practice session and the emphasis was in shooting a good group – not necessarily putting everything in the X-ring. In summary – every student shot good groups and several beat up the black on the target pretty badly.

After the shooting session we did a class survey and we good high marks for how the class went.  Every student said that they would like to continue shooting over the winter, so we have a plan to go forward with this new group of shooters. 

We start Winter Offhand on November 9th.  After the “old guys” finish Winter Offhand, about 10 o’clock, we will meet with the prospective shooters (we’ll call them The Class of ’25).  We will have a class session and then a shooting session to follow up with the start we have made with this group of new shooters.

And, as college basketball coaches often do – we’ll declare that we had a great recruiting season.

Team N-Squared Takes 2024 Leonard Johnson Memorial Victory

Team N-Squared (Norb Norbert and Tom Nagle) were the top team in the Leonard Johnson Memorial Match shot on Saturday September 21st. Team Johnson and Johnson (Jerry and Doug) were the runner-ups with a close second place finish.

The Leonard Johnson Memorial Match is shot in honor of Leonard Johnson (Jerry’s father and Doug’s grandfather), a long time FWRR member and a collegiate small-bore champion.  Leonard was active in small bore and high power shooting, so the Leonard Johnson Memorial Match is a combination of the two disciplines.  It is a team match.  It is shot with .22-rimfire rifles at 200-yards (yes, 200 yards with a .22-rimfire) and center fire rifles at 300-yards. Then to make the game more interesting, it is shot on the SR-42 target, a 200-yard reduction of the SR-3 300-yard target.  Then, atop that – when the shooters move back to 300-yards, they still shoot on that 200-yard reduced target.  The match has been called “The Toughest 2-Man Team Match in the Country”.

This year’s match ran afoul of two other state level competitions, so only two teams competed – but there was still some outstanding shooting.  In the 200-yard stage, for Team Johnson and Johnson – Jerry Johnson shot a 194-6X with a 99-4X second string, but youth and sharper eyes overcame old age and experience as Doug Johnson shot a 196-5X.

Jerry Johnson with Leonard Johnson’s (his father’s) rifle. Jerry’s grandfather built this rifle on a Ballard action – the gun was stocked by an unknown craftsman. The scope is a scope built by J. W. Fecker, who taught his young helper John Unertl how to build rifle scopes

Team N-Squared were close with Tom Nagle posting a 193-5X and Norb’s 191 – 1X.  The match went to 300-yards with Johnson and Johnson in the lead by 6-points.  But, at 300-yards heat and eyesight began to take their toll on both teams and N-Squared crept up on Johnson and Johnson.  N-Squared captured a 334-6X aggregate to Johnson and Johnson’s 325-4X.  For the day, Team N-Squared came away with a 718-12X aggregate to Johnson and Johnson with a 715-15X.

Somewhere under that hat, muffs, glove and coat – Norb Norbert lines up for a 300-yard shot.

Just wait until next year though.  We will shoot this match in August, after the NRA and CMP National Matches and before the Indiana State matches to enable more shooters to participate.

And, thanks to all of the shooters for donating their award winnings to the FWRR Juniors!

The FWRR High Power season will close On October 19th with a 3 x 20 300-yard Prone Match.  Make plans to come out for this last match – make me schedule four relays!

Marshall Rohrbach Wins State 100-Yard Championship – FWRR Shooters Dominate at Fall Creek

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.

Thursday, 12 September 100-Yard Match

On Thursday afternoon we shot a 100-yard match as a warm-up for the Fall Creek 100-Yard State Championship on Saturday 14 September.  It was a warm afternoon, and not a weekend match, but 12 shooters showed up and we had to expand the match to a two relay match.  Thanks to all who came out – it just goes to show that if we offer a match; people will come.

Now, before you think that shooting a match at 100-yards should be simple, as we simulate longer and longer distances – the black of the target stays the same size, but more and more scoring rings get crammed into that 6-inch black center.  At a simulated 600-yards, the whole black is only about 1 ½ minutes wide!

Not surprisingly, Mike King took the top spot with a 490-20X score.  But, his 198-8X at simulated 600 wasn’t the top score in that stage.  Gary Mabis took second with a 488-11X – but with a 199-8X at simulated 600.  Jim Jackson took third with a 485, with a 199-10X at the simulated 600 yard stage.  Marshall Rohrbach took fourth place and High Junior with a 484-14X – solidifying his NRA Master Classification and just one stinkin’ point out of an NRA High Master score.  (That’s why it’s so hard).

Welcome to two new shooters; Aria Noel and Chris who shot their first sorta’ formal match with us.  And, good luck to the shooters who go to the Fall Creek match this weekend.  Knock ‘em down and make FWRR proud of you!

Mike King Takes 300-Yard Indiana State Championship

The ISRPA State Aggregate Championship series kicked off Saturday, September 7th with the 300-Yard State Championship match at Wildcat Rifle and Pistol Club.  Twenty seven shooters came to the match on a very good day for shooting.  The weather was brisk in the morning with intermittent overcast periods through the day, and one very short period when it spit a few raindrops.  By the close of the match the sun was out and it was a pleasant day overall.

The match winner was Liam McKenna, an imported shooter from Wisconsin – so he could not be the Indiana 300-Yard Champion, but he did put on an impressive show of shooting.  After Liam dropped 3 points at the Offhand stage, he proceeded to clean the next three stages – posting a 797-51X overall score and taking the CMP Gold Medal.

Mike King of FWRR was the Indiana 300-Yard State Champion taking the CMP Silver Medal with a 789-30X score.  Andrew Beaver rounded out the medal category with a 783-33X for the Bronze medal.

Emma Branson, a FWRR Junior took overall fourth place in the match with a 782-20X, High Junior and High Woman in the match.  That score put her one place above her Dad, FWRR member Geoff Branson with a 778-32X for fifth overall.

FWRR shooters took the next two places; Gary Mabis was sixth with a 774-22X and Marshall Rohrbach (Junior) took seventh with 773-24X (High Expert).  Mark Richard took First High Master, Match rifle with a 768-12X.  Addiysn Shull shot a 712-4X in the Sharpshooter class and Taytin Shaffer posted a 665-7X in Marksman.

Marshall Rohrbach, High Expert; Mike King, State Champion, Andrew Beaver, CMP Bronze Medal; Liam McKenna, CMP Gold Medal; Emma Branson, High Junior, High Woman

Congratulations to all of the FWRR shooters who made the trip to Wildcat and helped make a successful 300-Yard State Championship match.

Housekeeping Comments

Well guys (and girls), about once a year I have to fuss about things.  As Safety Officer, range housekeeping does contribute to range safety.  We do not have trash service at the range. We do not have a janitor to come around and clean up behind us. We have to clean up after ourselves.

I did a trash haul at the range yesterday. Both trash cans were full to overflowing.  We keep trash cans at the range for casual trash that wanders onto the range, not as community garbage cans.  The can over by the concrete benches looked like it had been used to dispose of trash from a picnic; food wrappers, plastic drink bottles, yogurt containers and – I’m not making this up – a dirty baby diaper.

Over at the 100-yard line the can was full of shot up targets, more drink bottles, potato chip bags and food wrappers.

If you come to the range, bring a Wal-Mart bag of something like that to throw away your trash.  If you bring targets or cardboard backers, take them back home with you.  Don’t leave them “in case someone else might need them”.

As an example, someone had built a nice target holder with a wooden frame to hold targets.  But – the frame was shot up and instead of taking the backer and frame back home, the person just laid it down beside the trash can for someone else to dispose of it.

Shot-up target backers and frame

Let’s talk about sandbag etiquette for a minute.

 We try to keep sandbags on the range for people who want to use them for sighting in or supported shooting. Building sandbags isn’t fun.  We get them from the county highway department and we have to fill them ourselves.  Each one weighs close to 35-pounds and loading them and unloading them gets to be work quickly. 

Sandbags are a thin plastic material that can be damaged and easily destroyed.  One way to destroy a sandbag is to rest the muzzle of your rifle on the bag when you are firing.  The muzzle blast blows away that plastic and lets all of the filling of the bag spill out.  Don’t rest the muzzle of a firearm on a sandbag; rest the fore-end instead.

Muzzle blast destroys sandbags

Another way to destroy a sandbag is to rest a Picatinnny rail on it.  The serrations tear up the bag with the same result – the innards become outarrds. If you have a rail, lay a towel or a carpet square on the bag to protect the bag.

And, in case the string on the bag breaks, don’t just throw the bag on the table or lay it down on the floor for the sand to spill out everywhere.  Sit it up out of the weather and we’ll get a new string on it or we’ll slip it in another bag.  If a bag does spill, there is a broom and dustpan out on the apron to sweep up the spilled sand.

Open bags spill sand all over the tables

And, just one last comment – if a sandbag does spill its guts – throw it away, that is a valid use of the range trashcans.

Wild Bill Simon Memorial Pop-Up Match – Saturday August 24th

Shooters:

We have Bad News and Good News:

The Bad News – The weekend matches at Camp Atterbury have been cancelled … .

The Good News – We’re going to shoot anyway!

Since the Camp Atterbury matches were cancelled and we lost a FWRR Shooting Legend this week, we have decided to have a Wild Bill Simon Memorial Pop-Up Match this weekend.

On Saturday, August 24 there will be a 3 x 20 Prone Match at the FWRR Range.  We will shoot a prone match, three stages of 20 shots each from the 300-yard line.  This is an any-sight match, so iron sights or scopes are OK.  Unlimited sighters are allowed in a 28-minute block time (three minute prep, five minutes for sighters and 20-minutes for 20 shots for record).

Registration opens at 8:00 and first shot is 8:30.  Since this not a CMP or NRA Match, just a club match, Match fees are $10.00 (a real bargain). 

The 100-yard range will be open during this match if other shooters want to come out and use that range – just co-ordinate Cease Fires between the two activities,

August 17 50/80 Match

Saturday 17 August dawned as a clear, sunny day that turned out to be neither too hot, too cold, nor too windy – another perfect day for a High Power match after an iffy forecast for the earlier part of the week.

Kileen and Marshall on a beautiful shooting day

Fifteen shooters came to the line and the first shot went downrange at 7:58 – two minutes early.  Thanks to all shooters for being prompt and letting the match get started on time.  Everything went very smoothly and we finished up a two relay, 80-round Regional Match by 11:15.  Everything was put away and cleaned up by noon – about the time that the dark rain clouds rolled in.

The match saw some really great scores posted; of the fifteen shooters, seven shot NRA and CMP Master or higher scores.

Mike King took the top place with a 786-25X score, dropping only one point in the rapid fire stages.  Mark Walters followed up with a 769-15X and third place was taken by a visitor, Shawn Agne with 767-21X.  Tom Collins and Gary Mabis battled for the fourth and fifth spots, both posting 766 scores – but Tom Creedmoored Gary with a 21X count to Gary’s 17X score.

Marshall Rohrbach took top Junior with a 762-22X score, well into Master score range for both CMP and NRA .  Marshall cleaned the 300-yard Slow Prone stage with a 200-7X score. Marshall did this the hard way; shooting a 9 crossfire in Offhand and getting only 9 shots off during Sitting Rapid.

A brief Thank You note:  Jim Jackson enabled FWRR obtaining a number of iPads that we used in Saturday’s match.  Thank you, Jim.
