Twenty two rifles went to the line at Two Brothers yesterday and had a fine shoot. The wind and some rain challenged things a bit. We had sustained switching winds of 15 mph with gusts around 25, so the scores weren't as high as the recent past. But the competition was fierce and a good time had by all. We had three rookies who had never shot a centerfire benchrest match before, Curtis & Ethan Riterling and Tom Aldridge. I don't know the Riterling's history, but Tom has competed quite a bit in rimfire benchrest. His experience showed as he finished 3rd in the GA shooting a borrowed rifle and even shot one perfect 66 on the 3rd card of the 200 yard match. The next highest score on any 200 yard relay was a 63. We have one more match at Two Brothers the first Saturday in November and one at Strategic Edge on October 28th.
