On a cold day on the 30th of November 2019, four (4) stalwart souls came to the Midland County Sportsman’s Club and fired the “Annual Foul Weather Rifle Match”.
With three categories and four shooters, we end up with three winners, and one second. The winners were: Mike Ruhlman, F-Open 391-15X; Second Place F-Open was Tony Dekelaita with a 389-9X; Doug Boyer, F-TR with a 394-17X (with a 200-9X on his first string – the only clean of the day), and Ray Gross, Sling Prone with a 390-17X.
2019 Annual Foul Weather Rifle Match
With the possible exception of a New Year’s Eve Match, this is the end of the outdoor matches for 2019. We will start up with the Winter Mid-Range after the 1st of March.
However, for you 22 shooters, we fire F-Class and sling prone all winter with the Snow Country English Match Series. Program is here: 2019-2020 Snow Country English Match Series
On November 23, 2019 a Snow Country match was conducted at the Monroe Gun Club. Eleven (11) shooters attended, and twelve (12) matches were shot. So we now have scores for matches 1 and 2.
Clearly F-Class shooters are the majority so far this year. Of the eleven, only three were sling shooters.
You may notice what may appear to be an anomaly in the results. Sling Shooters can compete with irons, scope, or fire scores for each. Both Dan Altman and Leo Cebula have done that so far this year.
There are several matches being conducted. In fact there are five coming up in December. Still a lot of time to start and complete the series!
On November 9, 2019 we opened the 2019-20 Snow Country English Match Series at the Howell Gun Club. Seven (7) shooters participated, almost filling the range.
Of the seven (7), six (6) were competing F-Class, and one (1), lonely shooter fired Sling.
You will note a little difference with the F-Class scoring (at least for a week or two to see how the F-Classers like it). We scored X’s on the USAS50 Target, but we treated them as “11’s”. Effectively, the F-Classers were shooting for a total of 660. It is our hope that this will allow a more equitable distribution of F-Class scores. Would be happy to hear your opinions.
On Saturday, November 2, 2019, we held our annual Halloween BSA Charity Match on the Midland County Sportsman’s Club. The day looked worse than it was. On the drive up there was spotty rain. When we arrived at the club there was spotty rain. However, it cleared off and other than being a bit cool (I define a “bit cool” as I didn’t feel like I needed gloves) it was a decent day to shoot.
We had a disappointing eleven (11) shooters, so we were finished by noon. F-Open was won by Bret Solomon with a 597-37X. F-TR was won by John Pierce with a 593-30X, besting Doug Boyer by 2X. Target rifle was won by Mike Quillinan with a 597-34X.

On October 13, 2019 we held the final match of the Suburban Mid-Range Prone League for 2019. We had seventeen (17) competitors on a cool, breezy day.
Marcel Bollinger lead the F-Open Shooters with a 598-32X. John Pierce was high F-TR with a 594-22X, and Ray Gross fired a 597-38X.

This is the final program (at least as final as anything else in life is…).
Due to a conflict with the Scouts, we are moving the Halloween BSA Charity Match from the 26th of October to the 2nd of November.
The program is: 2019 Halloween BSA Charity Match
It was just about a perfect day to shoot. Somewhat cool, somewhat overcast. Temperature was hanging around 70. Winds were gentle (in fact I shot all three strings without ever looking at the wind, it was almost like shooting gallery).
Unfortunately, no one shot clean for the sixty shots, and the only twenty shot clean was fired by John Pierce shooting F-TR. Also, John had the high score for the day a 597-30X shooting F-TR. The high F-Open shooter was Jim Weinrich with a 590-26X. High any rifle shooter was Leo Cebula (me) with a 595-26X.
