Rutledge IBS Memorial 600 Shoot at Manatee

[CaptainMal]

Larry Rutledge would be pleased with the turnout, competition, food and awards. Three relays of IBS 600 yard fun under Florida sunny skies with mild, switchy winds. It would be hard to design a more perfect match.

Adding to the fun was Tom Jacobs from Vapor Trail, donating bullets in a raffle, Tom Anderson and Jack Bockman dueling it out to see who would be the final winner, the super scoring crew led by Eric Bostrom, Al Bennarroch leadership, Denise Lowitz food and more. Darn it this was one super event in Larry's memory.

The overall winner was Tom Anderson.



Jack Bockman dominated Heavy Gun in his first registered IBS shoot ever.





The link below has over 100 pictures from today's shoot. The smiles are genuine and the experience was everlasting. Like the memories we have of Larry Rutledge, it was all good.

This match was a fine tribute to Mr. Larry. He is missed by all of us.
Congratulations to all the winners. Manatee hosts some of the best shooters in the country, and the competition is very stiff. It’s a pleasure learning from them.

I would like to thank Tom Jacobs for the gift of the Vapor Trail bullets. I don’t know what I did to earn them but they are much appreciated. I will be shooting them at the State match. I must thank Steve Bertran for making sure I received them before I left.

Denise and Mike Lowitz put on a great feed !

Thanks and appreciation to all…Jim
