Team N-Squared (Norb Norbert and Tom Nagle) were the top\nteam in the Leonard Johnson Memorial Match shot on Saturday September 21st. Team\nJohnson and Johnson (Jerry and Doug) were the runner-ups with a close second\nplace finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Leonard Johnson Memorial Match is shot in honor of Leonard Johnson (Jerry\u2019s father and Doug\u2019s grandfather), a long time FWRR member and a collegiate small-bore champion.\u00a0 Leonard was active in small bore and high power shooting, so the Leonard Johnson Memorial Match is a combination of the two disciplines.\u00a0 It is a team match.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 Then, atop that \u2013 when the shooters move back to 300-yards, they still shoot on that 200-yard reduced target.\u00a0 The match has been called \u201cThe Toughest 2-Man Team Match in the Country\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s match ran afoul of two other state level competitions, so only two teams competed \u2013 but there was still some outstanding shooting.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Team N-Squared were close with Tom Nagle posting a 193-5X and Norb\u2019s 191 \u2013 1X.\u00a0 The match went to 300-yards with Johnson and Johnson in the lead by 6-points.\u00a0 But, at 300-yards heat and eyesight began to take their toll on both teams and N-Squared crept up on Johnson and Johnson.\u00a0 N-Squared captured a 334-6X aggregate to Johnson and Johnson\u2019s 325-4X.\u00a0 For the day, Team N-Squared came away with a 718-12X aggregate to Johnson and Johnson with a 715-15X. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Somewhere under that hat, muffs, glove and coat – Norb Norbert lines up for a 300-yard shot.<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Just wait until next year though.\u00a0 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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, thanks to all of the shooters for donating their award winnings to the FWRR Juniors!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FWRR High Power season will close On October 19th<\/sup>\nwith a 3 x 20 300-yard Prone Match.  Make\nplans to come out for this last match \u2013 make me schedule four relays! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
