It was good to see such a large turnout for the last Holbrook of the season. Good job Paul!

My friend Ray Hill has a saying..."The conditions were very 'sporty'." Boy were they ever, my new John Deere hat went flying more than once. Congrats to Todd for the agg win and a big congratulations to that "youngster" Bob. We got'a watch out for him next year!

Hope everyone has a safe winter. See you all next year.

Thanks for hosting the matches at Holbrook this year Paul.
Yesterday was certainly a challenge, but groaning and complaining about missed shots is always more fun with a good group of people.

Congratulations to the winners -- looking forward to next year.

Paul,

Thanks for posting the results.

Congrats to Todd WC Banks for the win in what looked like pretty tough conditions.

Paul,

Thank you for hosting another great match. Sorry about leap frogging over you and Ray for 3nd in the SOTY...:)

Todd, thanks for the schooling in those ferocious conditions..Great job! Mr. Al Hadfield thanks for all the tutoring and encouragement you have provided throughout the course of the season.
To Pete Roberson, Pete Wass, David, Michael, Penny, and Al Joly..Great shooting with you folks. What a excellent group! Also Big thanks to Gordon Eck for building that world beater rifle... I hope to see you all next season. That was definately a fun first season.. I'll be back! Be safe and have a nice winter!

Thanks to all,Bob Hill
 
Paul,
Another thanks for running the matches at Holbrook. Everything about the range is great...except the weather! It was good to shoot with the MA. crowd again.
Bob, I wouldn't call it "schooling", more like luck. Congrats on your second place finish and for taking 3rd in the SOTY against some tough competition! This is your first year shooting, right?
See you all in the Spring!
Todd
 
Paul, Once again, thank you for all that you and the others have done to promote our sport! Without people like you I'm afraid everything here in the Northeast would have simply faded away. My biggest regret is that my body has begun to fail me in enough ways so that I am unable to keep Pinnacle Mountain in the mix, plus as of late am not even sure if I'll be able to compete until I get out of bed on game day. Luckily, between you, Michael, Todd and now Pete the future of both Rim Fire and Air Rifle Benchrest is looking strong here in the Northeast.

Al and Penny, Congratulations on yet another fine season of shooting! It is always a pleasure to shoot with you both as you are what the fabric of benchrest is all about.

Bob, Your future is looking totally awesome! Between you and your dad it's looking like there may be a new family act poised to sit atop the leader board, and to give the Hadfields a run for their titles.

Michael, You my friend are what the past present and future of benchrest are all about! You are a true Gentleman that is always ready to not only take the lead at ever turn, but to always be there to lend a helping hand whenever necessary.

I look forward to next year and seeing you all once again at the benches.

Thanks Paul

Glad I was finally able to attend one of your matches. Very nice facility, Super Host and a great group of folks to spend the day with. I'll Be Back!

Dave,

I'm hoping it wasn't beginners luck....:) I feel fortunate enough to receive some great tutoring. Shooting with the best around certainly helps one's confidence.. Really looking forward to next season. I do hope we all get some Good Ammo for next year as well.....And without Paul Bendix to run the matches, there would be no SOTY at Holbrook...Thanks again Paul!
