Yesterday we had our July monthly USARB match at Southern Michigan Gun Club and we had a very good turn out. Those that did show, shot both the morning event and the afternoon event which made for a great Grand aggregate. We were met with mild weather and clear skies. There were some light breezes, but the shooters handled it well.
I mentioned to everyone that we will be having the Great Lakes Invitational in September and that we would be using targets today that I was trying out for the ease of scoring by Pre-labelling the targets for competition number and bench and match. Surprisingly, that went very smooth and I believe that will be the “new standard” here.
We had a potential new shooter show up in the morning, and it was very good to meet him, Scott Worthington from the eastern side of the state. As it turns out we used to shoot some of the same clubs over there and just never had a chance to meet. He is familiar with air rifles, and familiar with field target, but now he’s checking out the USARB and EBR types of Benchrest. I believe he may find a good fit with our club. I also explained the new N50 system to him.
We had some real good scores. And some really tight races. We had Vern Bouws shooting the LV class and doing very well, we had Alan Moerdyk shooting the Springer class and shooting what I believe was his best scores that I've seen. (sir) Ryan Parks, shot the Open class and turned in some phenomenal scores of 740, and 743! Then for the most heavily contested class, the HV, we had 4 guys that were on top in the morning and afternoon… in no particular order, Tom Evans, Eric Simmons, Jon Wulff, and Ken Brown… these guys all did extremely well yesterday, Joe Chapmin, Rod Parks, and Francis Becigneul were right there, but with a couple small failures that kept them down in the running. Michelle had a rifle malfunction late in the day which kept her from finishing, and she had been shooting some of her best targets yet. Below are the scores. Web Admin, please post these scores and highlights.
Our next Match is August 7 , again I will be there by 8am , we ask that everyone else be there before 930 to get registration, flags, benches and preparation taken care of for a 10am start time. We have some more things to get in order for the September match to run perfect, I will hopefully be implementing them on August 7. We had a few shooters bring their registration and checks yesterday for the Great Lakes Invitational. You can help best by getting the word out to those friends of yours that may not get to our shoots or shoot in nearby states.
Thank you all for coming and enjoy your Freedom and Independence, Happy Independence Day.
