2018 Annual Foul Weather Rifle Match Results – November 23, 2018

With the move of a day from Saturday to Friday, we had a much lower turnout than last year, only six (6) shooters.  However, those chosen few enjoyed moderately warm temperatures and a sunny day.

The high F-Open was M. Ruhlman with a 393-10X.  High and only F-TR was Scott Burr with a 398-17X (also, high F-Class shooter for the day).  High sling shooter (Palma Rifle) was Ray Gross with a 398-22X.

This match was the last outdoor match scheduled for 2018.  As we get closer to New Year’s Eve we will evaluate whether or not to run a New Year’s Eve Shoot.

However, in the interim, try the 2018 Snow Country English Match Series.  Look in “Events” for locations and course of fire:  Program is 2018 Snow Country English Match Series.

2019 Snow Country Match 1 Results – November 17, 2018

Match One (1) of the 2019 Snow Country was fired at Muskegon and Monroe this morning.  A total of twelve (12) competitors competed.

Of note in F-Class, Steve Jones fired two 10X cleans to start the year.  Quite a performance, moreover he finished the day with a 599-52X.  Makes you wonder what happened with the one nine (9)….

Next scheduled matches are in December.  Howell has the first of December, and then Monroe on the 22nd.  Look in “Events” for more information about future matches.

2018 Halloween BSA Charity Match Results

On a cold Saturday, just after Halloween, MCSC held their annual “Halloween BSA Charity Match”.  This match was held for the benefit of Venture Crew 7772 from Midland, Michigan.

Crew member keeping score for Marcel Bollinger.

In the past the Crew would provide the pit service, however, since the implementation of electronic targets at MCSC, we have used the Crew as scorers.

Unfortunately, due to the cold weather, we had an unusually small turnout for the match.  With only eight (8) shooters, all the participants received a “Top Ten” hat to commemorate the match.

The high F-Open was Bret Solomon with a 588-22X.  High F-TR was Tom Fisher with a 595-30X.  High Sling shooter was Mike Quillinan with a 598-32X.  Even with the chill the scores were still good.

The complete results:
