We added a fifth lane to accommodate. "</I></div> <bR> <div> <I>"Lane 4  was designated our forced position lane.   We started with two people squads on each lane. Once everybody shot the five lanes, lanes 3,,4 and 5 were then repeated.   I have learned it causes a bit of a traffic jam with everybody on three lanes. But it did help stimulate conversations and comradery."</I></div> <bR> <div> <I>"The forced position lane required everybody to shoot offhand one time through and kneeling the other time through. The half point rule was in effect for those choosing to sit rather than the forced position."</I></div> <bR> <div> <I>"The end result was everybody shooting an eight lane match course with a kneeling and offhand lane."</I></div> <bR> <div> The match started around 9:15 and concluded a little after noon. A good safe time was had by all.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> NAME           SCORE    RIFLE   /  SCOPE    /   PELLET                                          DIV              NOTES</div> <div> <B>Gary Palinkas    43        RAW HM1000 / Delta Stryker 10-50 / AA10.3g                Open        TOP  GUN </B></div> <div> <B>Oscar Valent    42        Thomas/Sightron 10-50 / AA 10.3g                                   Hunter</B></div> <div> <B>Leo Duran        40         HW97 / Bushnel 8-32 / JSB 10.34g                                    WFTF</B></div> <div> Jerry McGee        39        Thomas / March 5-40 / JSB 13.43g                                       Hunter</div> <div> William Liebke    38         Daystate Red Wolf / Sightron SIII / JSB 10.3g                      Hunter</div> <div> John Loeffler        38        Daystate Pulsar / Kahles 10-50 FT / JSB 10.3g                   Hunter</div> <div> Linda McGee        34        Thomas / Sightron 10-50 / JSB 13.43g                                 Hunter</div> <div> David Taylor        31        Daystate Red Wolf / Sightron / 10g                                        Hunter</div> <div> John Taylor        29         Daystate Red Wolf / Sightron / 1 0g                                       Hunter</div> <div> Dustin Taylor        28        Steyer LG110 / MTC Viper / 10ths 0.3g                                 Hunter</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B><IMG SRC="6f22cde0.jpg" border=0 width="300" height="222" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <bR> <div> <B><IMG SRC="6f32c010.jpg" border=0 width="300" height="257" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <bR> <div> <B><IMG SRC="6f52cd40.jpg" border=0 width="300" height="212" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <bR> <div> <B><IMG SRC="6f72c0c0.jpg" border=0 width="300" height="268" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">   Thanks for the pics Gary</B></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
