Congratulations to all the winners and to Dean for a fine showing to win both group and score.

Jon Baker, a teenage shooter showed up and shot his first 600 yard match. After getting his feet under him, Jon shot a very fine 90-5x score on his third heavy gun target. Way to go Jon! I would bet that he will be back.

After the match on Saturday, Justin Cockcroft treated everyone to a very good fish fry. Thanks Justin.
Thank you to Mike Cockcroft for a nice range and a well run 600 yard shoot. If you can't enjoy yourself at Pinevalley, you don't know how to have fun.
See you next time.

I sure enjoyed shooting Saturday, up until then didn't even know if my rifle would go 600 yds. Justin sure knows how to cook catfish and Mike knows how to host a great shoot. Prior commitment kept me from shooting Sunday, but enjoyed every minute I was there and looking forward to the next shoot.

Many thanks to Mike and Justin for all the hard work and expense in putting on this match.It was a great experience to shoot against national and state champions and to get whipped by young guys like Dean.The match ran like a fine Swiss watch, and the camaraderie unsurpassed.
 
You know shooter turn out is bad when you can only give out 9 top ten patches. Thanks to those who came and I will make a decision soon if there will be any more NBRSA 600 yd matches at my range.
