He shot the identical score as he did in our last bench rest match.    Finally; shooting a springer off his knee from the classic seated FT position, Ron Z shot a frustrating 538 and scored a single X for the day.</B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B> Here are final scores, equipment and the </B><I><B>overall</B></I><B> order of finish:</B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>1st   Bill Shade   Total 713  7X    USFT</B>    Sightron 10-50   JSB 10.3   .177cal</div> <div> 237 - 6  /  237 - 1  /  239 - 0</div> <bR> <div> <B>2nd  Paul Stakum  Total  710  10X   HM</B><FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#FFCC66" FACE="Arial" > 1000   Mueller 8 -32     JSB 8.4   .177cal</FONT></div> <div> 237 -    /   240 -    /   233 - </div> <bR> <div> <B>3rd </B><B>  Dick Otten   Total 705  7X      </B>AA EV2   Nightforce     JSB Monster   .177cal.</div> <div> 237 - 4  /  231 - 2  /  237 - 1   </div> <bR> <div> <B>4th Robert  Nelson  Total  696  12X  </B>Cricket 25, Hawke 8-32, AA DIablo 25.4,  .25 cal</div> <div> 232 - 3X  /  234 - 5X  /  230 - 4X</div> <bR> <div> <B>5th  Jack  Rainey   Total  689  2X    </B> AAS200,   Swift 8-32,  JSB Exact 8.4, vb.177cal</div> <div> 236 - 0X  /  222 - 1X  /  231 - 1X </div> <bR> <div> <B>6th  Ron Zeman  Total  538  -  1X    </B>TX200SR   Burris 8-32   JSB 8.4   .177cal</div> <div> 194 - 0X  /  171 - 1X  /  173 - 0X</div> <bR> <bR> <div>   </div> </td> </tr></table></body>
