Results Capitol City, Saturday, 8-16

This double IR 50-50 Unlimited was the last match of the season. Conditions for the first two targets were pretty good, temps in the high sixties to low seventies, overcast, wind light and variable.

Later, the sun peaked out, the wind came up to about 6 mph and variable from about all directions...typical Cap City winds. We had to draw benches for the second match and not one person drew the same bench as in the first match...pretty rare!

Congrats to Paul Bendix for his three wins, especially his nice 249-19x on the first target of the day. Picher also did pretty well, winning three targets, but his off-the-shelf ammo had a few flyers, keeping him humble, if not a bit ticked off.

Joe Shaw, in his eighties and with bad eyes, had some good targets getting a 2nd and four 3rds. Mike Luce broke into the winning column with a third place on the last target of the day.

Chuck Kellogg won first Plinker of the day with his 10-22, shooting a 234-7x. There are fewer Plinker rifles shooting these days, but they're important to bring people into benchrest and help us make some lightly-attended UL matches official.

Looks like some nice high numbers up there in Maine. Good shooting Paul and John, seems you all did very well.

Paul, shooting a 249 19X can that first 250 be right around the corner? See you on the 21st of September at Holbrook.

John,
Thank you for running the Unlimited shoots at Capitol City. Your shoots are always a good time! As I summer on China Lake and am 15-20 Min. away from the club, I joined Capitol City R & P club this summer. Maybe next year I can talk Al and Penny, David, Michael, Todd, David Lee coming to a match. They can come up Fri night as I have 5 bedrooms plus two pull out couches. I will provide the food and lots of wine. Hoping everyone is hung over so John and I can do well.

Joe Shaw, Great shooting say hello to Bill the next time you see him.

Mike L. Congratulations on your highest score yet!

See you next year.

Paul,

Wow, such a generous offer for folks wanting to come to Maine for a match!!! The sport needs more people like you!

It's always great to have you at our matches. Maybe next year we'll both get some killer ammo, some decent conditions and break into the 250 club.

I'm looking forward to running more double IR 50/50 matches next year. Last Saturday was a lot of fun.

John P.
