October Shoot Results
Our Schuetzenmeister was down for the count with the “bug” that seems to be going around. So El Presidente selected a handful of targets to challenge our skills. He will NEVER be allowed near the
target cabinet unsupervised again.
At 25 yards the first target was Vertigo for 5 shots. Mike Rybak wasn’t dizzied a bit and scored 45 for First Place. Art Twichell followed with 41. Long Lost Bob Speegle took Third Place with 40. Welcome back Bob!! And Tony Sucher scored 39 to claim Fourth Place.
The Diamond was the second target for 3 shots. Tony Sucher claimed First Place with 28XX. MikeRybak was right behind with 28. Jim Ellis edged out Rich Wolverton with a closer to center shot at 27to take Third leaving Rich in Fourth. Welcome back to you too Rich.
Last was a new Coiled Snake for 3 shots. Pete Hanson (Welcome back to you too, Pete!!) nailed the snake for 27 points and First Place. Second Place went to Tony Sucher with 27 also, but not as close to
the center. A 26 brought Mike Rodzianko to Third Place while Al Short took Fourth with 26.
At 50 yards two 25-yard targets were selected. First was the Road Kill Armadillo for 3 shots. Five people could see the target and scored well. Eagle Eyes went to Mike Rodzianko and Rich Wolverton.
Both had 26 but Mike was a tad closer to the X square so he was First Place and Rich took Second. HawkEyes went to Pete Hansen and Art Twichell with 18. Pete was closer to the X square than Art so he took
Third leaving Art in an enviable Fourth. (Pigeon eyes went to Frank Niccoli with 16) The rest of us justfloated numbers.
The final target of the match was the Standing Buffalo for 5 shots. First Place belonged to RichWolverton with an impressive 41. Frank Niccoli was close behind in Second with 37. MikeRodzianko was chasing hard with 36X and Third Place while Mike Rybak was Fourth with 36.
There were 4 shooters in the hotly contested Pistol Match. Mike Rodzianko said he’d learned how toshoot his pistol and turned in an impressive 48 at 25 yards. Trevor Evans was right behind at 44. Mike
Rybak had a 41X while Rich Wolverton had 38.
At 50 yards Trevor Evans proved consistent with another 44 totaling 88 and First Place. MikeRodzianko did 38 for an 86 total and Second Place. Mike Rybak scored 40 for 81X total and Third Place. Rich Wolverton scored37 for a 75 total and Fourth place.
The TOP SHOT of the day with a 150 was Rich Wolverton. Mike Rodzianko was Second with 147X while Frank Niccoli took Third with 134. Fourth was Mike Rybak also at 134, but Frank had a better
Armadillo target. At Fifth was Tony Sucher with 131XX. Then Pete Hanson, Art Twichell, Jim Ellis,
Bob Speegle, Al Short and Trevor Evans. (Trevor was trying out a new to him Flea Market Special Rifle
he’d just found)
