Up here in the beautiful northwest, after 15 chances to shoot the smallest 10 shot group at 200 yds.
We have a winner.
drum role please........


Larry Boers and Gary Ocock have tied with a .294" group!

Both were awarded the trophy, and both will have their names on it.
Nice shooting guys!

Another Great Sniper King Shoot!

We always look forward to this one, and it was another great Sniper King shoot with lots of fancy shootin going on, and to top it off an excellent barbeque on Saturday evening! (the highlight for me was the 20 lbs of Copper River Sockeye that Floyd Middlebrook brought in!) Really great to have all the out of towners travel so far to come shoot with us and take a crack at winning the oldest trophy in Benchrest. I know Walt Berger had wanted to make this shoot for many years and it was really good to see him finally make it up here. And, for the first time in the 69 year history of the Sniper King, since 1944, we ended up with a tie! King Gary and King Larry! How about that!

Rick
Do you have the group size by year?
What was the smallest ever shot
Thx
DAN

Dan, we never have kept the numbers except if someone breaks the small group size because it then is a new range record. The smallest 200 yd, 10 shot Sniper King group was shot by Del Bishop at .242".

*I edited my above post to get Del's group size right after talking with Steve Kostanich. I think Steve gets honorable mention here too having shot the Sniper King group a couple of years ago at .254"!
 
No one won in '89...

That was the transition year the BR shooters moved from the Issaquah range to Tacoma. So no SK shot that year.
