51 screamer groups fired at the Sniper King! Official results Pictures Added
Hi all.
Another epic Sniper King in the books. Tacoma's Sniper King event, the oldest continuously awarded trophy in Benchrest, was the 3rd, 4th, and 5th of July, 2015. Awarded annually since 1944, the winner receives the trophy based on the smallest 10 shot group shot at 200 yards.
This year Lou Murdica beat them all with his .272" 10 shot group shot on Friday afternoon. Shooters had 15 opportunities to shoot that one small group.
I was pleased to see the number of people who traveled great distances to attend the Sniper King this year. They brought with them sunshine and temperatures in the mid 80`s to low 90`s all weekend. We had shooters attend from Colorado, Arizona, Wyoming, California, Oregon, Idaho, and Washington.
Congratulations to Steve Kostanich for winning the Agg King trophy this year with a .2146" 10 shot agg @ 200
The Sam Wilson Trophy was taken by Gary Ocock for the 4th year in a row, shooting a great 2 gun agg of .2161
Lou Murdica won the 10 shot grand agg Friday with a .2508
Of special note: 51, yes 51 screamer groups were fired over the 3 day event. This is why folks are traveling to Tacoma!!
The smallest were:
Jeff Lewis @ 100 yards with a .138" group 10 shot group, and Lou Murdica with his .272" 10 shot group @200
Larry White @ 100 yards with a .065" group 5 shot group, and Mark Walker with his .174" 5 shot group @200
Congratulations to all the shooters.
Great fun was had by all with tall tales and lots of good info shared all weekend.
Special thanks to Teresa and Larry Boers, who prepared for and attended the BBQ after the match on Friday. Smoked Brisket and Pulled Pork were on the menu, and both were amazing! It`s truly remarkable the quality of people we surround ourselves with. This group is among the finest. It was very nice to meet some of the shooters and their spouses that traveled to be here.
And lastly, I`d like to bring your attention to the outstanding crew we have behind the scenes;
Karen Lynn, Jim Lynn, Zach Silverton, Matt Spradlin, Musafa Bilal, Dan Kjelland, and Craig Kensler all played huge roles in our successful match.
Thank you all,
Jeff
Our next match will be August 1st and 2nd
100/200 Northwest SP & LV Regionals
See you there!
