Once again, this year we are running the annual “Halloween BSA” charity match.

The match will be held on October 10, 2026 at the Midland County Sportsman’s Club. It will consist of three twenty (20) shot strings at 600 yards. The first string will allow unlimited sighters, the second two strings will be limited to two (2) sighters.

Ten ($10) of every entry fee will be provided to Venture Crew 7772 to assist their annual fund raising. Additionally, contributions from Solomon Diving, Pierce Engineering, and 10X Engineering will be provided to the crew.

Awards (medals) by category have been donated and will be available the day of the match.

The Program is:  2026 Halloween BSA Charity Match

Come on out and support the Venture Crew.

We had fifteen (15) shooters turn out for match four (4), an early fall conclusion to the 2026 Suburban Mid-Range Prone League.

We had nine (9) F-Open shooters. Cruz Stoneburner was high with a 599-40X. He bested Marcel Bollinger, who finished with a 599-39X by a single X. Third was Ben Hicks with a 596-32X.

Leo Cebula was high F-TR with a 597-33X after Brad Sauve who had cleaned his first two strings did not fire his third. Second was Seth Stoneburner with a 594-38X and third was MIke Boughner with a 576-18X.

We had only two Match Rifle competitors. Ray Gross was high with a 598-36X.

2026 SMRP Match 4

This completes the Suburban Mid-Range Prone League for 2026. Our next scheduled match is the Halloween BSA Charity Shoot on October 10, 2026. The program is available here:  2026 Halloween BSA Charity Match.

 

We had eight (8) competitors show up on a rainy 4th of July morning. Thankfully, the rain finished before we started, and stayed away even with threats for more as the day went on.

In Service Rifle we had two competitors, Kyle Matzella was high with a 582-23X.

For F-Open we also had two competitors, with Randy Budde finishing ahead of his grandson Easton Wolgdmott with a 582-22X

In F-TR we had a contest between Larry Remsynder and Leo Cebula. Both finished with a 594-33X. Larry gets the win with a 199-12X on the last string; Leo had only 199-10X.

2026 SMRP Match 3

The 2026 Suburban Mid-Range Prone League will be conducted at the Midland County Sportsman’s Club on the following dates:

May 16, 2026, June 6, 2026, July 4, 2026, September 26, 2026.

Program: 2026 Suburban Mid-Range Prone League 2

Tentatively the Halloween BSA Charity Match will be conducted on October 17, 2026 to avoid conflicts with the F-Class Nationals.

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.

2025 SMRP Match 5

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.

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.

2025 SMRP Match 4

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.
