The club's annual shooting competition was held in conjunction with the annual picnic on Saturday, 7/17/10. The rifle shooting began at 8:00 AM at a range of 221 yards (just to throw off those people who might have already zeroed their rifles). The shooting was done for rifles in two categories: large game (legal for deer) and varmint. The competition was for smallest group size. Varmint caliber rifles were measured on 5 shots from a bench, and large game rifles were measured on 6 shots (2 from the bench, 2 from a standing position, and 2 from kneeling or sitting position). The winners were:
Class | Shooter | Group size |
---|---|---|
Men (large game) | Bob Parish | 10 inches |
Women (bench) | Donnette York | 4.25 inches |
Varmint (bench) | Jay Partlow | 2.7 inches |
Junior (bench) | Cheyenne Partlow | 1.7 inches |
The shotgun shooting started about 2:15 PM. The shotgun competition this year consisted of 10 shots at each of the following presentations.
In case of a tie the shooters had an option to determine the winner by a shoot-off, and the winner of the shoot-off took first place. The men were divided into two groups by age: men (from 18 through 59 years old), and veterans (60 or more years old). The winners were:
