Randy Costa Memorial Egg Shoot Results
OCTOBER 3,2010
The last shoot of the season turned out to be a beauty! Weather cooperated nicely. Shooters were in fine form………….
As usual, we started the day with the 300 yard centerfire and the 100 yard sporting, handgun and rimfire.
100 Yards Handgun was contested by three shooters and four handguns. Gordon Giusti shot two different single shot handguns as he didn’t have any of his rifles ready for other competition. But although all three boys went 15 for 15 and a sudden death shoot out was required, once the eggs were replaced with ½” diameter “DumDum” lollipops, the shooting got interesting. In the end, Dave Nuttall took home the gold with Ken Cummings in second and Gordon Giusti in third. Fine shooting by all!
100 Yards Sporting/Hunting had the usual suspects approach the line. And it ended up in a five way, sudden death shoot off. Michael Fresco, Tyler Staff, Bob Ping, Steve Travers and Lou Federichi all went 15 for 15. DumDums once again and the winner was Bob Ping. Nice work!
100 Yards Rimfire proved entertaining. Nine shooters were at the benches and four tied for yet another sudden death shoot-off. Michael Astin, David Lee, Rob Cote and Bob Ping all shot 15 eggs with 16 shots. DumDums were called to service yet again, and Bob Ping took the gold. Bob was having himself one heck of a good day!
300 Yard Factory. Art Caputo shooting an AR-15 in 223 took top honors with a score of 15 eggs with 18 shots. Amazing for an AR shooting the “little” 223 cartridge. Who says ARs can’t be as accurate as a bolt gun!
300 Yard Custom. Joe Hecht, shooting a perfect score of 15 for 15 took this prize. Three football fields, a tiny egg, a bit of wind and not a miss. That’s impressive in anyone’s book! Nice shooting Joe!
300 Yard Superstock. Steve Travers held off all the competition to take home the bacon with a score I won’t repeat here. Steve assures us he will be tuning this rifle for next year. But the score was good enough to win and beat all others!
200 Yard Factory. We had 11 shooters to the benches. Ray Cianci took the honors with a 15-18 score. Real nice work Ray!
200 Yard Custom. Joe Hecht was having himself a fine day. He took this honor shooting another perfect score of 15 for 15. Some days you are just “on”, and Joe was having one of those days!
200 Yard Superstock. Three shooters entered this newest category. Any rifle that has a MSRP of over $1255 will be placed in this class. These are high end factory rifles with mass produced factory barrels. (Coopers, Top end Savages, Remington 40X, etc) Stacy Kehoe took home the top spot with a great score of 15-20 shooting a 308 in an Accuracy International rifle. What a beautiful piece of work that rifle is and what a great shooter Stacy proved to be.
I would like to give a huge Shout Out to Savage Arms Corp who has been helping to sponsor these Egg Shoots for over ten years. And all the other sponsors who supply door prizes for the shooters. It’s greatly appreciated!
This shoots Savage Rifle Certificate was won by Steve Travers….Way to go Stevie boy!
Well, that’s it until next year. Send me an email if you want to be included on this email newsletter and check the web site ( www.rvbprecision.com ) for next years schedule which will be posted in February 2011. The web site also has rules, past results and other Egg Shooting articles.
