Great shooting Keith, congrats!.....All that drinking on vacation got you sharp and ready for the match.....lol

Thanks Jade & Don,

Jade there was indeed a lot of drinking and unfortunately one late night bus ride home a lot of heaving!!!! Lmao

Was that the night you woke up engaged the next morning?? Lmao

No, completely sober for that one!!

Congratulations to Keith Weil who won the F-Open Delaware State Championship with a two day aggregate score of 1194-64x, with a 600-37x on Sunday.... it is always fun to watch Keith shoot.

High Delaware Resident in F-Open was Dave Kokoska with an 1180-47x
High Delaware Resident in F-T/R ( and High Delaware Woman) was Holly Cooper.
High Delaware "Sling Shooter" was Tom Snodgrass with an 1192-60x.

Sorry, these are all preliminary (unofficial scores) so I don't have the over Sling Champion - unless it happened to be Tom? I also don't have the F-T/R Champion either, for the same reason..

But CONGRATULATIONS to Keith - thanks for coming down from PA! I wanna be just like him when I grow up.....

Follow-up

Final results are now out - the Overall F-T/R Winner and Overall Ladies Champ was Carole Valentine with a two-day aggregate score of 1179-53x.. She's excited, that score and her other recent scores means that she's on her way to Mid-Range High Master.


CONGRATULATIONS Carole!

Now it's time to break out that .308 and come shoot Long Range with us.

Thanks, John. We will see about the HM....classification updates remain a mystery to me! LOL The important thing is that other ladies who might be interested in getting into competitive shooting realize that it CAN be done with a .223 at mid-range. My little Savage 12 FTR .223 (affectionately known as "Sweet Pea") is a pleasure to shoot. Work will begin this week on the .308.

Great shooting Carole, congrats on the win and HM classification!

 

[Scott Harris]

Congrats Carole and don't count your "Sweet Pea" out at 1K. The Berger 90 VLDs with a 6.75 to 7-twist barrel are an effective combination. I shot a Palma match with my son's 223 and scored 442/450 with it. One of our Phoenix sling shooters has won several 1K matches with the same 223 combination.

 

[Cigarcop]

She was on FIRE!!!

Thanks Jade!
Scott, may try the 90s again. The stock 30" Savage barrel (1:7) liked them but the 28" 1:7 McGowen not so much.

 

[DE-F-Open]

Carole,

You've got a little time to get that Long Range rifle or load ready.......

Next Long Range match at Bridgeville will be the weekend of June 27th & 28th followed in July with another Long Range on July 19th - that's the weekend when we have the Mid-range (3x600) on Saturday (7/18) and then the long range 3x1,000 on Sunday -

Again - Great shooting!

John
