As I was processing the last score updates that I received, I noted one of Dave Strycharz targets scored a 108.0. That made me wonder how many times anyone has fired a 108 or higher. I found only one, also by Dave that was a 108.1. Given the highest score that could be recorded would be a 109, breaking 108 is quite a feat. Congratulations on that score.

On Saturday, October 25, 2025 the Midland County Sportsman’s Club conducted their Annual Halloween BSA Charity Match. On a cool fall day, we had eighteen (18) competitors.
The match was able to raise $960 for Venture Crew 7772 of Midland. Bret Solomon, of Solomon Diving is shown presenting his check and checks from Pierce Engineering and Charles Hayes, as well as $160 in cash from the competitors.
In F-Open one point and a few “X”s separated the top six (6) competitors. Winning the category was Seth Stoneburner with a 600-39X. He was chased by Cruz Stoneburner 599-43X, Bret Solomon 599-43X, Scott Rehkopf 599-39X, Don Hicks 599-39X, and Marcel Bollinger 599-38X. Quite a day for F-Open. It’s a hell of a note to drop a single point and end up sixth…
In F-TR Steve Beebe lead the field with a 599-27X, followed by Richard Dixon with a 598-38X, and Mike Boughner with a 596-25X.
Due a singular lack of sling (Any Rifle) shooters, we combined AR-Tactical and Any Rifle. Lance Espinosa won the top spot with a 594-26X followed by Mike Quillinan (our sole sling Any Rifle Shooter) with a 594-26X and Aaron Schultz with a 589-24X.
2025 Halloween BSA Charity Match
The next match at Midland County Sportsman’s Club will be the Annual Foul Weather Rifle Match on November 29, 2025.
On a cool early fall morning the fifth Suburban Mid-Range Prone match was held. Sixteen (16) competitors came out to cool temperatures, and gentle winds.
For F-Open we had seven (7) competitors. Seth Stoneburner started out with a 200-20X clean on the F-Class target. I’m not completely sure, but that may have been the first perfect score fired at MCSC. Seth continued all the way clean posting a 600-43X. He was chased by Bret Solomon with a 599-45X, and Cruz Stoneburner with a 598-39X.
In F-TR Brad Sauve led the way with a 598-44X, followed by Leo Cebula with a 596-28X.
We had three (3) AR-Tactical shooters, Dave Cloft fired a 593-31X for the win.
This was the last Suburban Mid-Range Prone match for 2025. On October 25, 2025 we will be running the Halloween BSA Charity shoot. Program: 2025 Halloween BSA Charity Match. We have changed the program for this match, its still a 3×600, but we have reduced the price to $30 per shooter. $10 for each competitor goes to Venture Crew 7772 from Midland. We have donated awards for the high shooters by category.
The 2025-2026 Snow Country English Match Series is about to begin for the new season.
I don’t have all of the dates for each location, but we had enough to publish a new program.
We had eight (8) shooters come out for the 4th Mid-Range Prone League match of 2025. An overcast day, with little wind, and good visibility.
We had four (4) F-TR shooters. They were led by Leo Cebula with a 599-38X with Cruz Stoneburner trying out F-TR with a 593-32X. Interestingly we had Nora Strait, Ray Gross’ fiancé firing F-TR for the first time using a rifle provided by Seth Stoneburner. Although only completing two strings, Nora did very well for a first time.
Only two (2) F-Open shooters. Seth Stoneburner claimed the top spot with a 599-37X.
There was only one (1) Palma shooter Ray Gross, who only fired two strings, and one (1) Service Rifle Shooter, Harold Pangilinan. I didn’t recognize Harold who had completed with us in the past several times due to the enormous amount of weight he had lost. He looked very fit.
The next Suburban Mid-Range Prone Match will be held on October 11, 2025. Program is: 2025 Suburban Mid-Range Prone League 2. That will be our final Suburban Mid-Range of the year.
