Friendship April 2024
Posted: Tue Apr 23, 2024 1:53 pm
Another match in the books. Another cold weekend. Did I say it was cold. It's April for crying out loud.
Above freezing, but with the wind it was heavy coat and coveralls all weekend.
On Friday, 26 rifles showed up to contest the .22 match. 14 Traditional and 12 Modern. When the smoke cleared, (OK it was .22), several ties required breaking. Seven shooters stood on the chicken line to determine the final positions.
Modern 3rd place was secured by Tracy Vannatta with a 31 after a shoot-off with Terry Kneval. Match winner also required a shoot-off with Brad Parmer and Keith UX tied with 34. Keith persevered in the shoot-off for Match winner with Brad second.
Traditional too required shooting those pesky chickens to determine the final positions. Don Guthrie, Steve Farringer, and Mel Barnell all scored 31 to tie for third. Don bested the other two to secure third and the 1/4 ounce silver coin. Michael Rouch shot a 32 for second and the 1/2 ounce silver. Mark Finney bested the field with a 33 to take the 1 once silver coin home to add to his collection.
Don't forget, next month's .22 match starts early and will be run by the NMLRA during their NRA Regional weekend. I will be there, will you?
