Robert(Bob) Hoppe is the 2009 NBRSA 600 Yard National Champion.
Second place went to Billy Copelin and his 2 brand new 6 Dashers.
Roger (The Expiper) Amos came all the way from West By God Virginia to set a pending 3 tgt score record and took home several prizes.
Don (The Pumpkin) Nielson won 12 target score and a box of plaques to go with it.
Jerry Tierney,Lou Murdica,Bruce Bangeman all did very well but I don't have the sheets in front of me to list all of the details.
The shooting as Jay posted below was very tough.We had plenty of switchy winds and so much mirage my 12-42 Nightforce never got off of 12 power.
Lou Murdica gave Eric(Ear Muffs) Stanton a phone call and told him to fly in with just some muffs very similar to what happened last time at Reno.Lou lent him his wife Connies 6BR with ammo Lou loaded up and he won a box of plaques and shot the smallest group of the match.
The guys from Idaho minus Jay,Idaho did extremely well with Bruce Bangeman taking home 2-3 plaques.
Turnout was 50 shooters despite the depression we are seeing in the economy and a good time was had by all in attendance.It doesn't get much better than 3 days shooting on the bench next to Lou Murdica,Don Nielson and Eric Stanton.The new March 36-55 is a very nice scope and a big thank you goes out to our new Match Director Craig St Claire.
He ran it like a true pro.We had free lunches on friday and sunday with a well catered free lunch of bbq brisket on saturday.Free soft drinks and water on the line and at our gathering point Culbertson Cove.
The scoring was done by Gary Childs and Jim Connell and the results were done before anybody had finished eating.Greg Wilson ran the pits and our own Guru of everything Bob Dorton got everything on the line and pits ready and waiting in advance.He is truly one of a kind.
More when I get through emptying my truck but before I go a big Thank You goes out to the suppliers who furnished us with prizes.
Bill Shehane at D-B supply The Ambassador Of LongRange Shooting donated a sweet stock.I offered the winner cash for it but he already had plans for it.I heard my father also put in a bid on it and was unsuccessful as well.
Sierra Bullets is always a great supporter as is Cabela's,Midway USA,Russ Haydon,Krieger,Bartlein,Shilen,Lee Reloading,Redding Reloading,Forster Products,Dewey Cleaning Supplies and a big Thank You to Mac Tilton at MT Guns.
Mac wanted a Barnard action to go to a non-winner and Rick Duncan was the lucky shooter.
