Month: December 2019

On December 31, 2019, seven (7) stalwart competitors attended Midland’s Annual New Year’s Eve Rifle Match.  We enjoyed snow and cold temperatures, but were protected by Midland’s tent.  Of our entries we had three (3) F-Open shooters, two (2) F-TR shooters, and two (2) Target Rifle (sling) shooters.

The winning F-Open shooter was Tony Dekelaita with a 391-9X.  Unfortunately, due to a clerical error the bottle of Champagne was given to the second place shooter, Don Hicks, who had a 389-12X.  Tony we apologize.  We’ll fix it in March when we start the winter league.

The winning F-TR shooter was Charles Nelson with a 366-6X, and the winning Target Rifle shooter was Ray Gross with a 397-19X.
