02-13-21 BenchRest

Morning showers were forecasted but that  didn't deter a few 'Airgunners from arriving at DeSoto Gun Club for a 25 meter BR Shoot.    Thanks to all who helped with the course and scoring.   Special thanks to John Loeffler for marshalling the event and providing this match summary.     Photos taken by Linda & Jerry.



The start of the Bench Rest Match  was delayed an hour due to rain.  Once the rain stopped we had a very good match consisting of 9 shooters in two relays. Here are the results:

Jerry McGee had the high single card with a score of 247. Scott Andre had the high single card ‘X’ score of 12. The competition was very close, often coming down to one shot making the difference. Gene Childers was shooting a Chinese CO2 rifle he modified to use high pressure air. Ryan Matthews had a good first time showing.
