As I was processing the last score updates that I received, I noted one of Dave Strycharz targets scored a 108.0. That made me wonder how many times anyone has fired a 108 or higher. I found only one, also by Dave that was a 108.1. Given the highest score that could be recorded would be a 109, breaking 108 is quite a feat. Congratulations on that score.

2025 New Year’s Eve Rifle Match

With the largest turn-out for a New Year’s Eve Rifle Match at Midland County Sportsman’s Club at seventeen (17) competitors my only reaction is WOW!

In F-Open with six (6) competitors, Cruz Stoneburner set the pace with a 400-32X. He was chased by Greg O’Connor with a 400-27X and Marcel Bollinger with a 400-26X.

In F-TR with eight (8) competitors, Seth Stoneburner was high with a 400- 28X. He was followed by Mike Boughner with a 398-23X and Richard Dixon with a 398-23X. Mike gets the nod with the greater last string.

For the Sling shooters we had Ray Gross finishing with a 399-24X firing a Palma Rifle, followed by a father son pair Kyle Matzelle with a 382-8X, and Al Matzelle with a 353-6X.
