In the small end of the range we had four (4) sling shooters. Three (3) were scoped service rifles, and one (1) lonely Palma rifle. Of the service rifles the high score was Tom Feige with a 384-10X. The lonely Palma rifle was Leo Cebula with a 386-11X. Leo was sorry he wasn’t at his winter home in Arizona….
Okay, I apologize I was off in Arizona enjoying the weather, and wasn’t able to get these posted until I came back.
We have four competitions that have been held so far, two at Howell, one at Monroe, and one at Grand Rapids. As such, we have scores for matches 1, 2, and 3. For match 3 only one score has been posted, so I did reports on matches 1, and 2. Match 3 will be included once I have another match 3 score.
