April .22 Rimfire Benchrest Match - Results

We had 13 shooters for our first match of 2026. There were two new shooters. George Bikos has been a buddy of mine for quite a while and really likes shooting. He's just getting into this rifle stuff and enjoys his new Bergara. Dave Lewis has been shooting with some of us in Fast Metal's pistol league. He told Tim he was interested in rifle shooting and joined us today. They both seemed to enjoy the match.

There were some pretty good sores today. There was only one point separating 1st and 5th place. The KYLs put them in order. The top shooter today was Dan with 50 and 7 on the KYL. Norm shot 50-0. This was Norm's first perfect score. He was excited and a little shocked. Noce Job, Norm. In third was Delbert with 49-7.

Thanks to everyone that came out to shoot with us today. Our next match will be on May 17th. Hope to see you there.

What a nice fall day for a shoot. Sunny but cool. My buddy George wanted to shoot his 30-30, so we gave it a try. It has the worst scope I’ve ever seen. It was a 4 power with unclear optics. I’m gonna give him something better that I have lying around.

There were 7 hearty and dedicated shooters that came out today. We watched the rain blow onto the shooting benches, discussed several topics, solved many of the world's problems, and watched more wind-blown rain. We came to the conclusion that we should go get a late breakfast. So, that's what we did. We were not disappointed.

I want to thank everyone that came out today. We still had a nice time chatting all morning, even if we did not shoot. Our rimfire matches are done for the season. We will have one more center-fire match this year; 11/02/25. Have a great winter and enjoy the holidays. Hope to see you next year for more shooting.

Thanks,
Steve
