All week the chance of rain kept hovering around 60-70% for Saturday. After consulting several weather forecasts, it was decided on Friday to go ahead with what the match. However, though the shooting was hot, the temperatures were not climbing only into the mid-80’s by match’s end. The rains also held off until after the match so everyone got to load up and get away before it got beyond sprinkles.
27 shooters from Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Texas and Florida made the match and with rain clouds forming around mid-match wind conditions became an exercise in patience.
F-Open had 8 shooters and it was a shootout between Jim Suber (Mississippi) and Brian Bowling (Tennessee) right from the start. By the end of the day though, Jim bested Brian by 1 point to take the overall win with a 597-36X and Brian took 1st High Master with a 596-32X. These guys can shoot. And they’re a lot of fun to be around, too.
David McLain (Mississippi) won 1st Master with a 581-17X, besting Wes Cummings (Florida) by 1 point.
FTR had 11 shooters and C.J. Britt (Mississippi) walked away with the win posting a 595-23X. In the Master Class Jade Delcambre (Louisiana) took 1st with a 591-24X. Do it again next month and that High Master card will be on its way, Jade. Wes Powell (Louisiana) came out of the Sharpshooter class to take 1st place in the combined Expert/Sharpshooter/Marksman class posting a Master score of 584-26X. Great shooting, Wes.
Prone side saw 8 shooters with Warren Freeman (Louisiana) posting a 594-24X to take the overall win. Bill Lackey (Mississippi) took the honors placing 1st Master class with a 578-26X. John McGowan (Mississippi) shot a very nice 591-21X to win the Expert class. John is another of those shooters that will be moving up very soon.
Remember the state match is October 5th and 6th.
Thanks to all that came out and helped get the range ready for the match. We will see you next month.
