July 11th match started with our first 1000 yd cold bore tie between John Barnwell & Carlson Reese. John Barnwell managed to inch Carlson Reese out in the shoot off for the win.
We moved on to the 1000 yd steel where Jason Miller went 5 for 5 putting him in the lead. Dialing to next distance of 800 yards, Chandler Ray went 5 for 5 and tied the score up for 1st place. Up to this point everyone shot well with scores between all teams very close. Then came the wind Dead Zero is known for producing. With the wind flags looking like helicopter blades in the 6-10mph range the conditions separated the "boy from the men". I say this jokingly since 9 yr old Bryce Burch went 5 for 5 at 900 yds. This distance and conditions were probably some of the worst we have seen at Dead Zero. With these conditions at 900 yards Bryce Burch won the match. He has worked very hard for this win and has been in the top 5 for months. Glad to see the stars align for him.
I want to thank everyone for coming and hope to see you all back next month. Everyone improved this month even with the condition changes at 900. All the teams worked very well together and scores were some of the highest we have seen till the last relay. I'd like to give a shout out to Chandler Ray, I've watched him come from the back of the pack to consistently in the top few. You boys better keep your eye on him.
Congrats to the winners and to all who improved this month.
