Twelve (12) competitors came out to fire the second Mid-Range Prone League match of 2026.
High F-Open was Randy Budde with a 397-14. High F-TR was Seth Stoneburner with a 396-19.
Results up to February 14, 2026.
Note: The Snow Country Shoot-Off will be held at the Jackson County Sportsman’s Club on April 11, 2026.
With the largest turn-out for a New Year’s Eve Rifle Match at Midland County Sportsman’s Club at seventeen (17) competitors my only reaction is WOW!
In F-Open with six (6) competitors, Cruz Stoneburner set the pace with a 400-32X. He was chased by Greg O’Connor with a 400-27X and Marcel Bollinger with a 400-26X.
In F-TR with eight (8) competitors, Seth Stoneburner was high with a 400- 28X. He was followed by Mike Boughner with a 398-23X and Richard Dixon with a 398-23X. Mike gets the nod with the greater last string.
For the Sling shooters we had Ray Gross finishing with a 399-24X firing a Palma Rifle, followed by a father son pair Kyle Matzelle with a 382-8X, and Al Matzelle with a 353-6X.
2025 New Year’s Eve Rifle Match
As of January 8, 2026 the following have been reported:
Next matches: January 17 – BWSA and Muskegon, January 24 – Monroe and Howell.
Scores missing from Monroe January 8.
Nine (9) hardy souls came out to Midland County Sportsman’s Club and fired our Annual Foul Weather Rifle Match.
Pete Stumpo led a field of five (5) F-Open Shooters with a perfect 400-30X. He was followed by Seth Stoneburner with a 399-23X, and Cruz Stoneburner with a 398-24X.
In F-TR, Robin Retzloff led three (3) shooters with another perfect 400-27X. In Palma, Ray Gross fired a 399-24X.
Our next competition is on the Saturday after New Year’s Day. We have the New Years Rifle Match, a 2×600 fired from the delights of our heated GP Tent on the 600-yard firing line. Program: 2025 New Year’s Eve Rifle Match
Get away from the family, come out and shoot. Leave the stress of the holidays behind. You’ll feel better for it.
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 only five (5) competitors come out for the Saturday, July 26, 2025 league match. People were staying away in droves. For no particularly good reason.
The start of the match:
Notice there was no precipitation. However, as we got going we developed a little drizzle. So, we put up our rain flys:
Then we had remarkably gentle conditions, and frankly, dry conditions. I rested on the benches behind the firing line outside of the rain fly’s between strings.
Finally, just as we finished firing, and had put all of the targets away, it rained hard. Click the link below:
Only one Palma Shooter, Ray Gross. He posted a 599-35X. One F-Open shooter, Nick Nadenoff. He posted a 598-31X.
There were three (3) F-TR shooters, Leo Cebula finished with a 599-38X. As one of my Marine Corps coaches said: “Even a blind sow finds an acorn now and then”. Maybe it will carry over to the F-Class Nationals.
Our next match will be the 2025 Michigan Mid-Range Prone Championship sanctioned by the Civilian Marksmanship Program. You can see the program and enter here: 2025 Michigan Mid-Range Prone Championship.
We had fourteen (14) competitors come out for the sixth and last Winter Mid-Range Prone league on Saturday, April 19, 2025.
In F-Open it was a contest between the Stoneburner’s. Seth came out on top with a 397-22X over Cruz with a 397-17X. In third was Scott Rehkopf with a 396-19X.
In service rifle the high shooter was Kyle Matzelle with a 394-14X.
For Palma Rifle, Any Rifle, and F-TR we had only one shooter in each category. However, Ray Gross posted a 399-29X with his Palma Rifle.
Now the Winter league matches are complete. However, the Suburban Mid-Range Prone matches are about to start. Program is: 2025 Suburban Mid-Range Prone League 2. The first match is on May 17, 2025. Remember, the Suburban starts at 9:00 AM with squadding at about 8:15 AM. Additionally, the Suburban is three twenty shot strings.
