Potomac Rifle Match
July 17, 2010
Results
Match weather for this event was great. We didn't start any fires!!
Scott and I had installed a new target array of large, medium and small
targets at an unknown but long distance in a clearing on the hillside
visible from shooting position five (do I need to say for Precision
Class?). On the morning of the match, we tried to range this
target array, but couldn't get a distance reading. As a backup
plan, we ran a GPS unit on both the target array location and the
shooting position. Result? 1,337 yards!!! Later in
the day, Dale Poling ranged this target array at 1,335 yards from
shooting position # 5. According to the info I brought home from
the match, only one shooter got a hit with one of three shots on the
array. We expect that success rate will improve in subsequent
matches as shooters develop dope specific for this array.
Chris Gittings admits to having miscalculated Sonny Stewart's
scoresheet so Sonny was not recognized at the match as match
winner. That miscalculation is corrected in the standings below
for Precision Class.
In Hunter Class, there was a tie for first place. However,
Lloyd left before all scores were in, knowing that there might be a tie
and his absence from a possible shootoff for first place would cede
first place to the other tie scorer.
