RESULTS OF Palo Alto June 7, 2008
Our May
match was rained out, so we were due some
nice weather for the June match, and we got
it in spades. The day was warm and
the wind was constant and much appreciated,
at least in the pits. Thirty four
shooters turned out for what turned out to
be our largest match ever. Most
appreciated were the new shooters who tried
their skills at six hundred yards for the
first time. Some struggled at first,
then got the hang of it; and by days end
were smiling ear to ear. I'm sure
many will return and challenge the
plantation's winds at the next match.
We hope so, thanks for coming
guys.
Nine
competitors entered the Marksman class,
which is the future growth of our
sport. George Fournet was top gun
with a score of 549-7x, followed by Charles
Freeman second, and Gerald Liuzza in third
position. In the Sharpshooter class
Buck Kliebert shooting his new Palma rifle
for the first time took top honors with a
nice 574-19x. Buck has been waiting a
long time for that rifle, and I can tell
you it was worth the wait.
Congratulations Buck! The
combined Expert and Master class was led by
Rob Westfall with a score of 580-20x,
followed by Joe Mistretta in second
place. Nice shooting Rob! The
High Master class had five entries, and
first place was taken by Bob Jenkins with a
score of 592-25x. Gary Henry was
Prone Match Winner with an awesome score of
597-29x. Great shooting
Gary.
The
F-Classers were represented by eleven
shooters, who pressed hard for points on
the half size targets. The F-TR class
was won by Duane Landry, who was shooting
his .308 Remington off a bi-pod.
Duane's score of 566-13x bested everyone in
the TR class. In the F-Open class
Mark Miller took first place with 584-18x
by Creedmoore count over Joey Clark who
shot the identical score for second
place. Top honors and the F-Class
Match Winner's spot was taken by Whitney
Simoneaux with a fine score of
585-22x. Very close competition
indeed, with the top three shooters
separated by a single point. We need
to point out some fine shooting by Scott
Shultz also. Scott shot his .308 in
the Open class and was only down three
points to the winners. Great shooting
guys!!
Our
State Championship match will be held the
first weekend of October (4th
& 5th). We will again
provide food and door prizes to our
competitors. All competitors must be
NRA members, so get your memberships in
early. The entry fee includes
membership in the Louisiana Shooting
Assoc. This has been a very popular
match and rest assured we are working to
make it even better every year.
Special thanks to all of our match winners
during the year who contribute their award
monies to the door prize fund. It is
much appreciated by our shooters who
receive the door prizes. Last year we
awarded over two thousand dollars in
prizes.
Thanks
to everyone for making our little match so
nice. Next Match July 5th.
Hope to see you there in Red White and
Blue!
