Sunday, December 9th was an unusual day for this year’s High Power Shooting folks. It was sunny, it was crisp and clear, no wind – actually – for a change– we had a very nice day for the December Offhand Match!
To match the nice weather we had 14 shooters which put us into a two relay match, something else we have not had for a long time.
When the brass was policed and the targets scored, the day’s results were as follows:
First: Mike King 383-10X
Second: Mark Walters 367- 5X
Third: Mark Strahan 361 – 7X
The next match will be Sunday, January 13; register and set targets at 12:30 – first shot at 1:00 or whenever first relay is filled. Maybe our good weather will carry over into 2019.
Sunday, 18 November, turned out to be a really nice day for a rifle match. Six competitors and two observers were greeted by a Christmas card snow that covered the range as the match began. It was a cool (about 34-degree) day, but with no wind it was a very pleasant day to shoot. By the time we began the second relay the snow had stopped and water was dripping off the roof to give you a chill down your neck as you gathered brass at the front of the firing line.
We had an interesting mix of rifles today. We had two Garands, two 1917 Enfields, an AR and a Swiss 1911. These offhand matches are good opportunities to shoot that rifle that sits in the back of the gun safe that you never take out to matches when you keep score!
Results for the day were:
Larry Beardsley (Seriously!) 326-2x
Jeff Beierke 302-0X
Steve Kage 300-1X
Kris Hartwig 260-0X
Mike Bailey 221-0X
Joe Freiberger 184-0X
The next Winter Offhand Match is the second Sunday of December, December 9th, at 1:00. See you there!
We had a very nice early fall day for the match – a pleasant change from the wet, rainy and cloudy days we have had many on match days this summer.
