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.
