Mike Conry Wins ,at Seymour,Tx for eight time in a row. Quite an accomplishment.

We had 24 shooters, A good turnout for this match. The Seymour,Tx area has had over 30 inches of rain this year. This farming and ranching community has been blessed with record setting rain fall this year. It rained Thursday morning, a gully washer. The humidity hung around and was quite evident all weekend long.

We shot the Unl 10 shot 100 on Saturday morning. Typical Seymour winds10 to 15mph winds with gusts to 20 was quite a challenge for most. Mirage was not a big issue. The wind took care of that. The field of wind flags showed green all weekend long with the exception of one shooter who had those Aussie Flags. They drive on the left side of the road down in Australia. This may explain why the paint scheme is different.

Mike Conry won the 10 shot 100yds in convincing fashion with a .2092. Charles “Huck” Huckeba was second with a .2428. (Tie Breaker) Scott Haywood was third with a .2428. Car Dealership Owner Ron Sewell,shot a smoking .141 10 shot group for the small group award.

We came back after lunch for the 10 shot unl 200yd and Mike Conry kept putting the whup on us.

Mike won with .2895. Gary Bristow was second with a .3231. Trae Reed was third with a .3358. Mike Conry had small group with a .407.

The trip to Seymour,Tx included an unforgettable dining experience at the Ranger Creek Hunting Lodge. Mrs Kami Reed(Co-Host) arranged for our visit to the Lodge on Saturday Night. We were not Disappointed. The Steaks were Gloriously delicious
And the service was professionally handled by the Lodge owner.

We woke up Sunday Morning to a Beautiful day and more West Texas wind. Wind velocity slightly increasead from the previous Day.

We shot the Heavy Varmint 200yd starting at 8:00Am. Didn’t have to move wind flags.
Mike Bryant won with .2372 agg in some tough conditions. Charles Huckeba was second with a .2427 and Mike Conry was third with a .2628.

We moved flags and shot the 100yd Heavy Varmint. Charles Huckeba layed down a .2152 agg in all that friendly wind(Yeah right) to beat the field. Tom Brown was second with a .2308 and Mike Conry was third with a .2444.

We had a great time, all made possible by a group of dedicated volunteers. Thanks to Mike Cordes from Oklahoma for braving the Flood waters and joining in on the fun. Also thanks to Tom brown and Scott Haywood for making it to their first shoot at Seymour,Tx. For those of you who stayed at home,you missed a great time. Try not to let that happen again.

Great time!

Glenn, it was a great time with some great people to spend the weekend with. Another memory was watching Mike Conry shaking his head after shooting a .093 in a tough wind and finding out that he was out done by Charles's .079 way down at the other end of the benches! Fine shooting by both guys! It was a really fun shoot and I can't wait for the next opportunity to get back up there!

Thanks, Scott
