2023 Missouri F-Class Mid-Range 600 Yard State Championship @ Bucksnort: Marshall, MO

[ryanjay11]

We had it all this weekend: a beautiful range, great shooters, a fish fry, camaraderie, rain, sun, wind, and a pending national record.

Thank you to the shooters that made the drive to join us, the folks that pitched in to help, and the manufacturers that supported the prize table.

I’ll look forward to seeing most of you at matches across the country, and again here next year.


The "tunnel" lulled a few shooters into thinking it was a trigger pulling contest on Saturday morning, but things changed on Sunday.


We keep score with both paper and plastic.


This was one of the best prize tables we've had over the years and it made a lot of shooters happy.

Why doesn't the guy on the end of the third picture have a trophy? I'm guessing not a good shot?

On the contrary, Tommy Todd is a fantastic shot and the Missouri Resident State Champion for F-T/R. He will receive a separate trophy for his performance at a later date, which is provided by the Missouri Sport Shooting Association.

At our match, residents of all states, and even countries are eligible for the trophies and medals on the prize table.

Thanks Mike, but it's a NO to supplying any fish, Ryan reached out and I would have gladly helped out but I was fresh out of fillets from having given all mine away to a fry a couple weeks ago. I was so ashamed I didnt stick around and eat. Ryan and ??? Supplied the fish.

Thanks to Ryan and Jeremy Newell for running another great match! Thanks to Chritafer Strannigan and the bucksnort crew for running the line, and range....

Congrats to Randy Snook and Mark Creason on their respective wins. You couldn’t give an inch in this match, and these guys didn’t, from start to finish!
Also, check out Ken Foster’s score in sling!

There were people from other countries there too! Great to meet Larry from Canada, and there were also foreigners from Somewhere down by Grenada??!

Can’t wait till next year!

No worries. I know, but others might not.

Both guys on the right are wearing Missouri State Resident Champion crowns. Next year, I won't do them in clear......

Ken Foster is a menace. He’s the biggest reason I’ll never shoot sling.

Ken isnt a menace, he is a shy quiet unassuming guy that will simply crush the majority of competitors, anytime anywhere.

You shoot sling? Haha you dont even shoot FTR

The interest on those bullets you owe me is absolutely crippling.

 

[AWCMKEN]

I only shot those special 107s Tommy made for me. I think he called them MatchKing or somethings like that.
