Annual Briar Hail Memorial BR Match at the Shelby County Deer Hunters Club

Annual Briar Hail Memorial BR Match Recap at the Shelby County Deer Hunters Club!

170 shooters from the NBRSA Eastern region enjoyed some very nice hot weather and mild winds this past weekend at the annual Briar Hail Memorial Group Match at the Shelby County Deer Hunters Club in Port Jefferson, OH (about 1 mile from the sun!). The Shelby County Deer Hunters Club always does such a great job in making all the shooter’s feel welcome and very well fed!

Here’s the recap from our match!

Saturday morning brought us some very benign, but tricky wind condition conditions where our flags hardly moved causing most everyone to pull their hair out on numerous occasions.

Greg Walley easily mastered the conditions with a fine .2022” agg.

2.) John Petteruti: .2394”

The members of Shelby County provided a great lunch for all the shooters all weekend with some great food and….lots of delicious pie for dessert!

I would like to thank all the NBRSA Eastern Region shooters who attended and supported this annual Briar Hail Memorial Match. Briar was a staple at all the Shelby County BR matches. Let's remember to always keep Briar and his family in our prayers...

A very special thanks to Match Director, John Petteruti, Sandy Chitwood and the entire membership of the Shelby County Deer Hunters Association for their Scoring, Rangemaster’s Jerry Seitz and Jerry Stewart, Kitchen and the Target crews for all their tireless efforts and great food! The match ran extremely well at one of the nicest ranges we are very fortunate to have host matches in the NBRSA Eastern Region!

As a reminder, please don't forget to attend the Shelby County Deer Hunters Fall Finale Match on October 18th and 19th

Hope to see you there!

Jack Neary
