Varmint Rifle Match – July
It was an excellent day for our match. The weather couldn’t have been better; cooler than predicted and little wind.
We had 12 shooters, mostly our regulars and two new faces: Stew Naaden and Bob Cunningham. The weather seems to have improved the scores. The competitors were running some high ones this match.
In the Custom class, David Rohrich took first place with a 590. Don Granlie took second with 375 and Sam May brought up third with 370.
In the Factory class, Tom Liebel made a big comeback from the first match, taking first place with a 520. Doug Kitzan took second with 505 using his 6.5 Creedmore. Tom’s brother, Tim, took third with 360.
With only three shooters in the AR class, everyone placed. Sam May took first with 325, Jaylen Granlie took second with 300 (nice going Jaylen!), and Doug Kitzan took third with 210.
Jim Vollmer suggested we use fluorescent orange instead of black for our silhouettes. I’ll look into the possibility. He would also like to see a small target to use as a way for a shooter to keep track of which silhouettes he has shot. Probably a good idea since it’s easy to lose track. I’ll look into that as well.
See you at the next match, on August 23!
