In closing I would like to express gratitude to those that Helped me plan this event sense March of this year proving to ourselves & the Bench rest Shooting community that a little shooting club located in the foot hills of Montana can successfully Host a National championship, I could not be more pleased. big thanks to vapor trail bullets for feeding our competitors Saturday night people really enjoyed the menu. as far as the prize table go's it was swelling with prizing from a couple dozen companies such as defiance machine, Borden actions, bullets Central (bat action) Kahles optics, Vortec optic, nightforce optics, Lilja barrels, Krieger barrels, bench source, wheeler accuracy, carpenter bullets, Barts Bullets, vapor trail bullets, pacific tool and guage etc. I will post a complete list of venders in the next few days but for those people that where able to take a prize from the table please take a moment here on this thread or via correspondence to say thanks to vendor of prize each of us secures. I personally made the prize table early enough to have secured a Vortex Golden Eagle Yea!!! thank you Vortex optic for my prize. thank you Lonnie Anderson for your endless
efforts on and off the firing line and tolerating me. David Torgersen thanks for your endless efforts before, during and after all competitors leave the Range as our statistician. a special thanks go's out to defiance machine as they donate not only product but staff, food etc. for Saturday lunches etc. thank you. Mark and Angie Candau you not only represent Defiance machine well you have spoiled the regulars at deep Creek with your professional knack to cater our Saturday Lunches while attempting to shoot. to all the competitors that made the journey from all over the country and abroad to shoot with us at Deep Creek thank you for showing up and Battling mother deep creek with us, she put on a special performance this last weekend that had many shooters including myself running bolts quick, I may have actually bent my bolt Sunday relay 5 target 3 of Heavy trying to out run "momma Deep Creek" as we had 5 DQes on said Relay it was as rough as I have seen. I hope to host this venue again some day until then I dream of shooting with so many new faces in my shooting future.

PS thanks to the pit Crew for holding the course when it was 104 degrees out Friday Saturday slightly less and a cooler Sunday. thanks to those members who filled in as staff from selling deep creek goodies to scoring and running the line thanks.
 
It was a great experience for me. My only regret is I wish I/my rifle had shot like it has in practice at home and I'm sure I'm not alone there.

It speaks volumes that the prize table was so full of very nice prizes that a noob shooter like myself that finished way down the list was able to take home something besides experience!

A HUGE Thank You to all the sponsors who didn't skimp when asked for a donation! And thank you guys for putting in the work to get them to donate. We all know that doesn't just happen.

I was already looking forward to 2019 driving down the hill Sunday evening!
 
Thanks to the shooters that made the trip to Deep Creek and competed. The wind did create nightmares for some relays while others got lucky including me.

For everyone that helped with making this work I’m thankful and proud of you. Shawn you carried tons and did it like Hercules and shot great.

Thanks to the sponsors that support this competition. So many sponsors that respect the efforts of hard working, innovating shooters that make this sport great.

Really terrific event! I can not reiterate enough the thanks that Shawn described above to all that made this event possible! Great job everyone. Special personnel thanks to Defiance Machine as I managed to walk away with one of your terrific action certificates! I look forward to making it shine in the coming seasons!
