Desert Deuce,
Does anyone have the number of shooters each year to present since Steve Rhoads began the 1,000 yard matches?

[desert deuce]

I don't know. It "should be" here on Shiloh Forum, somewhere.

[Don McDowell]

Looks like a high of 31 in 2017 including muzzleloaders and vintage snipers, to a low of 16 in 2021

[DeadEye]

I'm not sure if it was '13 or '14 (getting old) when I called the match but as I remember there were 45 +/- shooters.

[Don McDowell]

Paul was that target rifle or sillhouette?

[DeadEye]

That was the 1000 yard match. We were there as Camp Hosts that year.

[Don McDowell]

Was just wondering , as I recall Rhodes sillhouette matches in November drew a pretty good crowd . Found the results from 2011 and it looks like 35 shooters, for the 3 day match, 2 days NRA Creedmoor and 1 day of the American Creedmoor Cup

[DeadEye]

It grew from there Don and by '14, '15 it was up to the limit of 72.

Paul

[DeadEye]

I'm speaking of the Silhouette only there.

[Don McDowell]

at the time that was the go to silhouette match behind the nationals.

[DeadEye]

You are correct there Don. I just checked my famous Cactus trophy and it is for 2012 Silhouette 3rd 'AAA'. I had to shoot off for 2nd place with some guy named Kirk Bryan, he won.

I have the BPTR score sheet for 2018 and there were 35 shooters.

Paul

[Don McDowell]

That includes the USIMLT shooters too?

[DeadEye]

Don,

There were two ML and eight VS (vintage sniper) in that total.
