Before I get started I would like to make an honorable mention, so please bear with me.
We all have known shooters who come to a match only to win. They are usually the ones who do very little to help out, and are the most eager to leave at the end of day. That is, of course, unless they have won something, and then all they want to do is stand around and gloat.
And then there are the shooters who attend most every match, but yet aren't there to win, but more to enjoy the total experience of the day. Oh, they may want to win just as much as everyone else, and sometimes they do, but it's not all that important to them in order to have a good day.
But, how often can we give recognition to a shooter who is there for no other reason than being with his fellow shooters? They don't care if they finish first or last, they always offer to help when there is a task at hand, and they are the one who has the biggest smile on their face; match in, and match out. A true Sportsman in every sense of the word. Well, we had a chance to honor such a person this past Saturday.

The awards presentation ................................................................................ Read this carefully. It says it all!
Barry Wood has been shooting at Pinnacle Mountain for 13 years and has rarely missed a match. He uses only one gun, his slightly modified Sako Finnfire, in all classes, and won't accept the offer of anything more saying: "I don't want to get spoiled". He may put out a wind flag or two, but only uses lower to mid-range ammo. And yet, if there is anything that needs doing, whether it be assisting someone else with getting set-up, hanging targets or tallying scores, he's always the first to step forward with an offer. And, at the end of the day, not only does he help with putting everything away, but he also will be the first with broom in-hand to help clean up the firing line. And yet, he has never won a match. He is there only because he is enjoying himself. As I said: A True Sportsman!
Okay, enough about that! Now, on to the results:
