On Saturday, June 24 FWRR hosted the third annual Indiana Junior High Power State Championship Match. The match was a great success with all of the Juniors, Fort Wayne Rifle and Revolver’s Juniors as well as the others, rising to the occasion with great scores – no one had a bad day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have prepared an article for the ISRPA Newsletter that I am including in this post, but before we get into that article I want to highlight some of the accomplishments of the FWRR Juniors that need to be acknowledged:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marshall Rohrbach:<\/strong> Marshall took second place in the State Match, second place to Madelyn Schnelle. Madelyn is a Distinguished Shooter and has been recognized nationally in many instances, so a lot of shooters finish behind her. BUT<\/strong>, Marshall shot a 480-18X for the match and won the Offhand Stage with a 96-2X and the Simulated 600-yard stage with a 197-12X. Marshall’s 480-18X was a solid Master score and was a personal best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mia King: <\/strong> Mia also shot a personal best with her 96-1X Offhand score. That put her one X-count behind Marshall, the State Offhand Champion and three points ahead of the State Junior Champion. Her 460-5X, a personal best for a match, was a solid Expert score. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kileen Shaffer: <\/strong> Kileen started off with scope issues and was only able to salvage an 80 in her Offhand stage, but she hung in there like the competitor she is and came back with 95, 96 and 189 scores in the last three stages, finishing with a match score of 460-5X. Her 92% score put her in the Expert Class and is probably close to her personal best for a match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addiysn Shull: <\/strong>Addiysn is classified as an NRA Marksman, but she has been putting up some good scores in practice lately. She kept that up on Saturday, firing a 452-2X aggregate that put her into the Expert Class – another shooter who peaked with a personal best at the State Match<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tayt Shaffer:<\/strong> Tayt is our newest shooter, just turning 12-years old on May 24. This was his first 50-round across-the-course match and he turned in a 349-2X score for the day. It was a great effort and a lot of the other competitors and adults gave him “Atta-boys” for hanging in there on a long match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of our “old” shooters shot Expert or higher scores. All of then turned in a personal best at some time during the match. These Juniors are beginning to be force to be reckoned with. When you see them – let them know how proud you are of their accomplishments!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Madelyn Schnelle Posts Three-Pete for 2023 Indiana Junior High Power Championship<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The question on just about everyone\u2019s mind on Saturday, June 24 at the third Indiana Junior High Power State Championship Match was; \u201cCan Madelyn Schnelle pull off a Three-Pete and take the State title back to Wildcat Valley three years in a row?\u201d\u00a0 Eight other Junior shooters from all over Indiana had gathered at the Fort Wayne Rifle and Revolver Club Range to do their best to keep her from doing just that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a good day for a high power match; cloudy but not dark and absolutely no wind \u2013 the flags drooped listlessly most of the day.\u00a0 A little spritz of rain fell as the shooters made their way to the line but it stopped quickly and Madelyn fired a ceremonial First Shot to open the match (and to verify a repair to one of the Silver Mountain targets).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of the Offhand stage, it appeared that an upset might be in the making.\u00a0 FWRR\u2019s Marshall Rohrbach, the Offhand winner for the previous two years, shot a blistering 96-2X followed by FWRR Mia King with a 96-1X, Wildcat\u2019s Alex Becker with a 94-1X and Madelyn with a 93-1X.\u00a0 The reigning champion went into Sitting Rapid in fourth place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The match got serious in Sitting Rapid with Madelyn coming back with a 100-4X clean and Marshall following up with a 97-2X score.\u00a0 As the group moved back to 300-yards to finish up, the score was Madelyn 193-5X and Marshall 193-4X; Madelyn was only ahead by a single X-count.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the 300-yard rapid prone stage Madelyn and Wildcat\u2019s Logan\nBecker shot identical 99-4X scores. \nMarshall got into an NPA problem and fired a ragged group but salvaged a\n90-2X from the string.  Madelyn went into\nthe final stage, Prone Slow fire with a 292-9X to 283-6X 9-point advantage over\nMarshall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is an old saying that it isn\u2019t over until the fat lady sings, but Marshall hung in there.\u00a0 He opened up his Slow Prone with five 10-X shots, a 9-10-9 series and then eight more 10-X, finishing with a 9 then three 10-X shots for a total of 197-12X.\u00a0 Logan Becker jumped back into the fray with a 197-6X and Madelyn finished off with a 194-10X.\u00a0 Marshall made up three points on Slow Prone with a 197-12X, but the 9-point advantage Madelyn had coming into the stage was just too much to overcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Madelyn Schnelle had pulled off the Three-Pete with a 486-19X score, but there was serious competition for her top spot all the way.\u00a0 Congratulations to Madelyn for hanging onto the Indiana State Junior Championship against some serious competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
