After four days of great weather, the dust around the turkeys from the 4-wheelers used by the setters has settled.
Gerald Parks ended up on top in scope for the 200/300/600yd mid-range with a fine 573-17X and Barb Walters was tops with irons with a 566-13X. If this had been a sanctioned match, Barb would have upped her existing 30-shot national record from 290 to a 291.
In the "Trapdoor Challenge", John Bly was the class of the field, shooting what would have been two national records and tying a third, winning both days and the agg. John shot a 269-5X on day one with a 94-2X at 300yd (tying the existing 94 record - needed another point or X). On day two John shot a 281-5X, including a 90-1X at 600yd for a 2-day 550-10X. The 281-5X would have broken the old record of 276 by 5pts and the 550 would have bested the old record by 2pts. John took home the beautiful "Woody Box" for his efforts. Who says those Old Trapdoors won't shoot? All you Trapdoor shooters better start practicing for next October. Think the field will be expanding from the seven Trapdoor shooters at this match.
After day-1 of silhouettes, Mark Harrison led the scope shooters with a 30 and John Bly the irons shooters with a 28. There was a bunch of folks tied either one or two shots behind. On day-2 the field started to spread out with Gerald Parks fine 34 (with 6 chickens) and Dave Zizzo shooting a 33 (cleaned the stick animals) for a tie at 62. Dave continued the fine shooting he has displayed all season and won the match in a shoot-off, with Gerald 2nd HOA and Woody 3rd HOA. In scope, Mark Harrison was 1st, with Jason Bass 2nd and Jim Davis prevailing over Steve Hubbard in a shoot-off for 3rd. In irons, Ty Rice was 1st, with Steve Christensen 2nd and Al Rauber winning the shoot-off for 3rd.
Congrats to all the winners. And, our thanks to Doug Gazaway and Steve Cook for putting on the match. All ready looking forward to next October.
