Shooters,
Due to a glitch in
the results program, Fridays scores went up very late yesterday so my
onsite crew couldn't get them to me until today. So without any further
ado lets get to the results. In the High Master Class Nancy Tompkins fired one of only two clean scores yesterday,
Her 1200-104X's took the day and beat out fellow classman Joe Farmer,
who like an old bear awakened from the stupor his dismal day one score
had induced, hammered out a 1199-100X score to claim a class second
placing. In the Master Class Katie Bridges kept the hammer down as her
1198-102X score was class high but only by a little as veteran shooter
Cal "Hammertime" Cooper also put up and 1198 but with 12 fewer X's.
Folks, as you all know, every shooter who
progresses up the classification tree has defining moments in the
journey. In Fridays match hotshot Minnesota shooter Eric Hazelton
had his as he decimated his fellow Experts with that other 1200 I
mentioned earlier! 1200-92X's to be exact; Wow, defining moment indeed!
Lapua's rep Kevin Thomas was game as his 1196-78X's proved but Hazelton now has a commanding class lead after two days of intense competition. The Sharpshooters witnessed a heavyweight battle break out between Minden Miles and James Piotrowski as they seesawed back and forth all day. When the dust settled Miles had squeaked by the day one leader to take the class win with a 1189-73X total over James's 1187-63X score. Last but certainly not least the Casey's in the Marksman Class opened the proverbial can of whoop-ass and stomped a mudhole in the rest of there brethren with an epic battle. Sydney Casey came out on top with a sizzling 1195-77X total beating out Scott Casey's 1192-84X score.

For all the Day two scores please see the attachment so labeled.
Moving into todays shooting the competitors were met
with something that had stayed pretty dormant so far in the
championship and that something was wind! Just enough it seems that no
one would walk away from todays event unscathed. However Minnesota's own Morgen Dietrich
negotiated the condition the best to not only claim the High Master
Class win he also carried the day with a fine 1st place 1199-84X total.
Close by was West Points own Rifle Team head coach Ron Wigger who
managed the second highest overall score of the day with a well executed
1197-88X score. The Master Class would once again see Katie
Bridges rise to the top as she rolled onto another class victory but
today it was much closer as her 1197-86 barely got by a very promising
young junior named Rachel Martin who also finished with an 1197 but with
four fewer X's!
The battle in the Expert Class between Hazelton and Will Anti remained in full swing today but Eric
maintains the upper hand as he delivered another class winning score
today. His 1191-73X total was four points and ten X's batter than Anti's
finish. Barring a total meltdown Hazelton should grab the class
high podium finish come bling day tomorrow! The Sharpshooters are seeing
there own herculean struggle as Miles and Piotrowski continued to test
each other today but like yesterday Miles prevailed with a solid
1187-65X finish four points and seven X's better than Piotrowski! The
Marksman Class saw a new name rise to the top for the class win today as
Corey Miller dominated with a great 1185-70X performance that left his
fellow classmen in the dust. Scott Casey was the only one close with a
game 1175-52X but it was Miller all the way today. Please see the
attached day three scores for all the rest of the action.
I will publish the day four results as well as the grand aggregate scores as soon as I get them!
Hope to see some of you local shooters out for smallbore at PRGC tomorrow!
