“Jeff Locke did very well in the conditions to recover from a deficit coming out of Day 1 to take the overall win for both days. Great shooting Jeff....congrats. SacValley's own Greg Wilson gave Jeff a good run but came in 2nd overall.”

Congratulations Jeff, once again coming down and kicking my butt on my home turf. I don’t know if I’m getting used to it or starting to resent it, but you couldn’t ask to compete against a better shooter or person than Jeff. A big shout out to Louie and the crew for putting on a great shoot and making sure things ran smoothly!

You’re not alone.
I shot with Jeff every month for like three years and I don’t recall ever besting him.

Congratulations Jeff and to all the winners.

Congratulations Jeff nice shooting!

Did any of the 19 of you happen to ask David how he felt it was morally okay to choose to stay on the board at IBS, while out pimping the freedom crap?

Personally I came to shoot to my best ability, have a good time, and enjoy the camaraderie of like minded people. I try not to get involved in whatever “crap” you are referring to.
I will let the other 18 participants speak for themselves.
Sounds like someone is gunning for todays WLB Award!

Classless self serving question Tom? David made the cross country trip because he really cares about the program and the shooters. In the scheme of things, nothing else really matters to the majority of the shooters.

The 2nd Day of the 600 yard portion of the Freedom West Coast Nationals completed today. The conditions were much the same as yesterday with temps in the low 70's and a pretty stiff and shifting wind. There was a fair amount of swearing being heard up and down the line as great groups were ruined by an unseen change in the wind.

We had the great pleasure of having David Mathews (from the board of Freedom Benchrest) join us for the day. He made sure to talk to all of the competitors and allow them the opportunity to ask questions and learn more about Freedom. Everyone very much appreciated his attendance. Next time, he will need to bring a rifle and join the competition.

Jeff Locke did very well in the conditions to recover from a deficit coming out of Day 1 to take the overall win for both days. Great shooting Jeff....congrats. SacValley's own Greg Wilson gave Jeff a good run but came in 2nd overall.

I want to acknowledge a few additional sponsors who made contributions to the Freedom Benchrest West Coast Nationals. Their support goes a long way in helping those participating in the match. So a big thanks to the following:
- Hart Barrels for a certificate for a barrel
- Harrells Precision for a set of Scope Rings
- Peterson Brass for a nice selection of cases

Special Thanks to David and Donna for all of the time, effort and attention you give to us that shoot long range benchrest. NO ONE, has given more to the sport than you all. Some lead through talk, some through example. Taking the time to visit another Freedom range is just one example of countless hours you have given to us all. Thank you both
 
It was great to meet you at the match David. We’re a long way from Georgia and we appreciate you making the effort to come out and support the match. I hope I get a chance to shoot with you one day. You are always welcome to come out to the Tehama Shooters range and shoot a match with us. I’ll have a rifle for you so you can travel light. :)

I didn’t wish to post out of turn. But here’s the bottom line.
Congratulations to all the Winners and my friend Jeff Locke on his overall wins at both distances.
