PALO ALTO MID-RANGE PRONE
March 7, 2009
We had a great turnout on Saturday the 7th
of March, as thirty four shooters enjoyed perfect weather and good shooting
conditions. The prone shooters outnumbered the f-classers with twenty
compared to fourteen for f-class. That included ten shooters entered in
the Marksman class, which is a healthy sign for the future. We hope the
trend continues as new shooters are the life blood of the shooting sports.
On the prone side, Bob Jenkins was Match
Winner with a terrific score of 594-34x. Fine shooting indeed Bob.
Buck Kliebert was top gun in the combined Master/Expert class with his score of
585-23x. With ten entries in the Marksman class we awarded down to 3rd
place, that being Bob Bose with his score of 551-7x. In second place was
Norman Bennett (who was recently reclassified) with 554-14x. It was good
to see Norman ‘on
the podium’ again. Good shooting. Taking first place honors
in Marksman was Louisiana’s
hot shooting Junior, Mike Liuzza with 574-19x.
On the F-Class side of the range, your
humble scribe finally found an acorn and won the match with a score of
591-25x. It is amazing what a good rifle can do for a mediocre shooter.
Whitney Simoneaux took first place in the Open class with 585-25x. The
F-TR class had eight entries and scoring was very close amongst the top
three. Second place was awarded to Lonnie Dutreix with a score of
572-15x. The F-TR winner was Jeremy Lomax with 573-10x. Note that
only a single point and an X separated the top three shooters. Ms. Ashlyn
Kliebert was third by the single ‘x’. We are indeed honored
to have two wonderful young ladies attend our matches. Ashlyn once again
showed she is a lovely force to be reckoned with when shooting her .223.
I also want to send a special thanks to Miss. Maddie Jenkins who volunteered to
score during the match. Thanks for attending Ladies, and guys you
too. We hope you enjoy our little match.
Our next match will be Saturday April 4th.
The following month, May we will hold our 2-day Spring Regional on the 2nd
& 3rd. Mark your calendars. Also, the range will
host the Bayou State Regional High Power across the course match April 17-19. We hope you can attend
both, and spread the word. See our web site for details http://www.paloaltogunclub.com
