Shiloh Rifle Forums

October's Friendship matches are in the books. On Friday 21 competitors vied for first place in traditional .22 and modern .22. Sunny and warm with heavy winds and gusts to 20 plus mph were the norm. After the scores were tallied, Bob Johnson scored a 28/40 for third traditional, John Wier came in 2nd Traditional shooting a 29/40. First traditional was taken by Steve Farringer with a 30/40. The modern shooters were led by Mike Payne with a 28/40 for third modern. Brad Parmer came in second with a 31/40, and Keith Ux led us all with a 32/40 for first modern.

Saturday was a repeat of Friday's conditions. Sunny, not so warm, but heavy winds. The same winds that plagued Ian and the long range shooters at Attebury. Those results are posted below. Saturday was also our fall Military match. A full silhouette match within the regular match for those wanting to shoot the BPC military rifles of the era. Those results are also listed above.

Sunday dawned colder but calm, again with sunny conditions. When the match started, not a breath of air was present for the first three relays. As the day progressed the winds did pick up but didn't stop Steve Farringer from shooting a clean prone and winning the match with a 33/40.
For those that have shot in Friendship before, you will be pleasantly surprised at the range work Dan and the crew at the NMLRA have put in. Since last month, a large area of the woods have been cleared to the East of the silhouette lines and two more banks of large bore animals have been added. Additionally, a fourth bank of .22 animals has been completed. More details remain to be completed, but the work is well on the way.

Remember the last match of the year in Friendship is on the first weekend of the month. (4,5,6 November)

Thanks, Cody!

My trusty 45-70 Shiloh and my shooting partner (Woody) were in top form, and I was in a positive frame of mind.

Great job Steve!!!
