Speedy Gonzales wins the Texas State Unlimited(10),HV at Seymour,Tx
27 Shooters traveled to this small,West Texas town to test their shooting skills.
The Seymour,tx stool shooters Range, at Seymour,Texas,has a reputation, similar to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally,for being the host of the Unlimited Rifle (10) match for many years. The Match organizers at Seymour,have worked tirelessly to keep this fun match on the schedule. In my opinion, the unlimited Rifle is a true Icon of the Sport. In recent years, there has been an effort to standardize the unlimited rifle design. If that happens, the title “unlimited” will no longer apply. Gulf Coast Regional Director Mike Bryant showed up with an early example of A Skip Otto Rail. One of two in existence. Creativity and imagination is what makes the unlimited Rifle special.
Very Seldom do you get calm conditions at Seymour. The wind blew all weekend. Typical for West Texas.
Saturday morning, we shot the Unlimited,100yds. Jim Nicholas,a West Coast transplant, bested the pack with a fine .2182 agg followed by Speedy Gonzales. 2360, Kyle Shultz .2746,Trae Reed .2748, Gary Bristow .2792.
Saturday afternoon, we shot the unlimited 200yds. Hall Of Famer,MIke Conry took the honors with a .2925 followed by Hall Of Famer, Speedy Gonzales .3234, Larry Baggett .3638, Dr Timothy Oltersdorf .3729, Mike Bryant .3758

The work that goes into putting on a match is often taken for granted. The Match organizers, John Horn,Scott Hunter, Kami and Trae Reed ,work hard at keeping this match on the map. Lodging reservations at Seymour,Tx are prearranged by John Horn, If you plan on attending this match next year give John a call.
Volunteers,Trae Reed and Darryl Whitman arrived earlier in the week to assist with pre-match preparations.
