Results for day-1 show Jim Deitland with a terrific 38 for irons (8 chickies & cleaned the stick-animals). Brian Chilson led the scope shooters with a just slightly less terrific 36. John Bly leads AAA and Greg Lauver AA. Congrats to all and full results after day-2.

We did have a good shoot.
Lot's of fun and a lot of good people.
Carolyn and I have just started crunching numbers but as Glenn stated there was some very good shooting done by our competitors.
We'll get all the numbers up after we double and triple check them for accuracy, but it looks like several National records have fallen.
Stay Tuned,

Craig

And, thanks to Carolyn & Craig and everyone else who helped put on a great match. Some terrific shooting by a number of folks. Like the Friendship match at the first of the month where the GA folks took home the top prizes, the MI contingent came into town and walked away with the top prize and several others. Good to see the numbers well up at Ridgway again.

Now if we could just get those GA boys and those MI boys in the same match we would see a bodacious shootout. How about it next year at some place in between? Say, the Indiana shoot in May or June in KY. At one time there was a North/South or blue/gray shootout at Bon Aqua. I think it's time to renew some rivalry here in the East. C'mon boys!

It was a great shoot !

Congratulations to Jim Dietlein, winner of the Eastern Regional BPCR match at the Ridgway Rifle Club in Ridgway PA, with an aggregate score of 71 for the 2-day, 80-shot match. Awesome shooting, Jim! Brian Chilson took 2nd Open with a 64, and Marshall Chase earned 3rd Open with a 57. In Scope class, Brian Chilson won 1st Scope with a 70, Debra Lee Hovatter took 2nd with a 60, and Mark Chronister placed 3rd with a 58. Complete results are below. (Please note: In double-checking the score sheets, we found a discrepancy that affected the Day 1 scope standings. No aggregate standings were affected.)

We had a total of 32 shooters (36 rifles) representing 8 states. The weather was ideal, with sunny skies and light winds the first day, and overcast conditions the second day giving way to breezy sunshine. Mirage was minimal, which may have contributed to some record-setting scores. Day 1, Jim Dietlein tied the overall 40-shot record and broke it for Senior. Brian Chilson broke the record for Senior 40-shot Scope and Senior 80-shot Scope. Debra Lee Hovatter broke the record for Women's 80-shot Scope. Congratulations for your superb shooting!

After the first day's match, we held a just-for-fun competition on Homer the buffalo at 980 yards. Homer is a ½ size Buffalo silhouette . Each competitor had 7 minutes 30 seconds for sighters and 5 shots for score. Greg Lauver hit Homer 3 times with iron sights, and so did Mark Chronister with scope. Gentlemen, enjoy your bragging rights.

We were pleased to welcome Gordon Clefton, a brand new BPCR shooter, to our match, and we had some interested observers who we hope to see behind a rifle soon. We also had a special guest, PA Congressman Glenn “GT” Thompson . GT is a staunch 2A supporter. He watched part of the match, made some remarks, and then got down and cracked off a few rounds. Glenn was shooting my 40-65 at the 300 meter pigs and within a couple of shots had the swine seriously concerned.

Thank you to our prize sponsors:

Schuetzen Powders Energetics

As always, thank you to the Ridgway Rifle Club and all the folks who set and painted targets, weighed rifles, cleaned the club house, called relays, did paperwork, and took out the garbage. It's a lot of work to run a match, and your help made it a success.

The 2015 season's last match is on Sunday Oct 25. Hope to see you there!

Thanks for posting those Glenn.
For some reason my "board quota" is full even though I deleted all of them.
