Lbs.  He still managed a very decent score with 35 kills !   Interesting that we didn't have a single Piston shooter today.  Also surprising was the proportion of shooters in the Hunter Division; (4 of the 6 competitors).  </div> <bR> <div> <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#FFCC66" FACE="Arial" ><B>T</B></FONT><B>hanks</B> to everyone who remained after the match to take down the course and store our gear.  I'm sure the Benchrest Series shoots will be much easier to set-up and take down, plus shooting under a covered protected area will make our Summer air rifle event much more enjoyable.  Bill tells me if it gets too hot we can even plug in some electric fans on the Benchrest Range. </div> <bR> <bR> <div> The results and equipment matrix follows:</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="3" CELLPADDING="3" CELLSPACING="2" WIDTH="568" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" ALIGN="LEFT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 19 WIDTH="146"><div> Name</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="94"><div> Rifle</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="96"><div> Scope</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="97"><div> Pellet</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="77"><div>  Score </div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 19 ><NOBR><div>      <I><B> HUNTER Div.</B></I></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="94"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="19" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="94" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="96"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="19" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="96" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="97"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="19" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="97" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> (48 Possible)</div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 20 ><NOBR><div> Paul Stakun         </div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="94"><div> TM 1000</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> Hawke  6-24</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="97"><div> AA 10.3</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="77"><div>  <B>  44</B></div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 21 WIDTH="146"><div> Bill Liebke</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="94"><div> Cricket</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="96"><div>  Milett 4-16</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="97"><div>  AA 8.4</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="77"><div>    38</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 21 ><NOBR><div> Colin Pilkington</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="94"><div> Marauder</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> Hawke 8-32</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="97"><div>  JSB H</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="77"><div>    35</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 21 ><NOBR><div> Jack Rainey       </div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="94"><div>  AA S200</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="96"><div> Swift 8-32</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> RWS Superdome</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="77"><div>    18</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 21 WIDTH="146"><div>  </div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="94"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="21" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="94" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="96"><div>  </div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="97"><div>  </div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="77"><div>  </div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 21 WIDTH="146"><div> <B> </B><I><B> OPEN Div.</B></I></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="94"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="21" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="94" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="96"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="21" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="96" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="97"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="21" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="97" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="77"><div>  </div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 21 ><NOBR><div> Ron  Zeman        </div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="94"><div> LG100</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> Nikko 10-50</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="97"><div>  JSB -Hvy</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="77"><div>   <B>44</B></div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 19 WIDTH="146"><div> Bill Shade       </div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> AA -FTP900</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> Sightron 10-50</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> JSB EXP 7.9</div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="77"><div>   40</div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 19 WIDTH="146"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="19" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="146" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="94"><div>  </div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="96"><div>  </div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="97"><div>  </div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="77"><div>   </div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div>     </div> <bR> <div>      </div> <bR> <div>     </div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
