There was a light turnout for the match with 5 custom and 1 factory gun, someone said there was a conflicting match somewhere close by. The conditions were pretty good but it got a little breezy as the match went on out to 300.I managed to win the custom class w a 141 score, Gary Hendrix was 2nd w 134 and mt protege Eric Coleman was 3rd w 131. Eric shot well for his first match and was winning until we went to 300, the wind was pushing him into the black and he couldn't see his shots, so he assumed they were in the black 10 ring but when the targets were retrieved he had a nice little knot in the 6 ring with his last shot going in the 8 as the wind letup. The name of the gentleman who won factory has totally slipped my mind but congrats to him also.I think everyone had a good time, I know Eric and I did and I got to see Jim Gigglio for the first time in probably 20 yrs., It was good to catchup a little. Thanks to Pat and Glenn for putting on the match and a special thanks to Pat for the use of his rest.
 
It's near Hurt Va. I have no idea if they have a website or not. This is the first year that they have held any kind of match to my knowledge. The have 8 benchs on the 300 yd rifle range and a great looking shotgun facility. I don't think they have any intention of holding any kind of sanctioned matches but I think they are planning to do some more kinds of club shoots next year. They are a good bunch to shoot with so I hope they continue.
 
BIG! way to go Steve that makes two in a row maybe you can make it three in a row at the Rock next week Good shooting
 
well i thank Ronnie was working Butch was working at the gun shop Ken said he might come some how i got a Email that said the match was going to be on the 22 and then last monday i got one that said it was back on for the 15 and working all week so no time to go even sight in my gun when i was not going Raymond and Tom backed out i think. I sure would like to see them keep these match`s going but i think they they need to get some input from the shooters and make a few changes like the targets for one thing old blind guys like me cant see a black ten ring at 300. Everyone but Butch should be at RCGC next week Butch will be out west
