Many a fine shooter showed up for the Harrison Sportsman’s Club 100 yard score shoot held on August 2, 2014. By the time I arrived at 8:00 am there were already three sets of flags set! There wasn't a breath of wind to be had in Clare County when the commence fire command was announced by range officer Jim Guinn at 10:00 am. The calm lasted throughout the entire match. Joe Hynes, looking like a professional golfer, pulled out his newly reamed (last night) 30PPC out of his goodie bag and proceeded to fire the second highest score ever shot on the Harrison Range with his winning 250-24X! There have only been two 250-25X’s ever shot there – one was by Larry Feusse and the other was by Brian Albee. BRIIIIIIAAAAANNNNNNN, WHERE ARE YOU!!!????? We congratulate Joe on his exemplary win in the VFS Class! Second place VFS laurels went to Rick Averill shooting another .30. And third place VFS was won by the Roger City Freighter Captain, Rob Fairbanks with yet another .30.
Now onto the Factory Class where that Indian River Referee, Bob Zimmer, showed up with two of his fine factory rifles in 6PPC. Bob won top laurels in the Factory Class with a fine 248-10X (we didn’t have the traditional olive twigs to make a Greek laurel wreath) so we awarded Bob with a jackpine branch and a wad of money. He also took the second slot in factory class as well and was awarded a pile of money for that as well. Third place was locked down by Kurt Krug with a 245-7X and was honored with a rousing round of applause.
There was a free raffle held at the Budd Lake Bar for Dick Wright's 22PPC. Seems as though he left it at the range, so the assumption was that he didn’t want it anymore. Tickets were passed out to all those in attendance and a complete description of the prize was announced. Unfortunately, before the winning number could be drawn, Dick decided that he wanted to keep the rifle so the raffle was nixed. Oh what fun can a bunch of shooters have! It just doesn't get any better than shooting at the Harrison Benchrest Range!
The next match will be a 100 yard group match on Saturday, August 16, 2014. Bring your friend(s) and a smile. We sure do have a great time!
