F-Class Nationals 2012 (Raton NM) Pictures (With Friday awards)

[Turbulent Turtle]

I have a few hundred pictures from Raton, mostly of the awards ceremonies (there were two ceremonies, but I think I got everybody who went up when called.)

I may post those pictures if people want to see them, but in the meantime, here are some general pictures of the match and the range. I did take the liberty to post a picture of the national champions.

Early morning at the range, looking north at the targets.

Looking west down the line.

People are arriving.

Looking west on the firing line itself.

Looking east.

Equipment is accumulating

Looking northwest.

A view of the pit area.

Looking back at the firing line from the pits:

It was windy.

See the white buffalo at 1139 yards? It's fun to hit.

The individual national champions:

Names would be nice for those of us that have never met either 'character'.

Re: F-Class Nationals 2012 (Raton NM) Pictures (Now with Thursday awards)

These are the pictures from the Thursday night awards. There were three tables at the front. The left one had the F-Open medals, the right one had the F-T/R medals. The trophies were on the center table.

It was fairly dark in the place, but my flash did a good job. For a while. The batteries were old and I had to use my camera's on-borad flash towards the end.

I will identify the folks who I know. When people tell me names, I will update this post.

All these photos have been cleaned up, corrected and the reduced for posting here. If you see a picture for which you would like to have the full size (10mb) file, corrected or rawm let me know.

I can help put names on a couple of the pics in F-TR at least.

The first F-TR awardee both days is Daniel Pohlabel, he actually appears 3x in those pics.
The Fillgame is actually Wade Fillingame (self)

Wade, thanks for the corrections, I have made them.

Steve, if you give me the name and match it with the timestamp in the picture, I will be happy to make the correction, but remember that this thread is not a sticky and will be gone soon enough.

Here is the link to view the official results:

After that, I have some pictures of the winners posing with trophies.
