We had quite a day at the Gallatin Gun Club Saturday. This was the 1st time we had shot a 300 yard match and it will be remembered. Rain has fallen steadily for several days here and in fact, we've had nearly 5 inches since Wednesday. Saturday morning began the same way with a temp of about 70º and the rain fell until afternoon. But the payback was a mild readable wind condition.
There were 6 new UBR records set for 300 yards and the 300/100 Grand Ag. Of course, this is subject to review, but I believe they will all stand. The Macer family showed off with Mike taking the 300 yard and the GA in Factory Class. His Dad Brent, not to be out done took the 300/100 Grand Agg in Custom Class. Ron Jackson won the 300 yard Custom Class and Larry Moore took the Unlimited 300 and the Grand Agg.
The amazing thing was the scores. The previous 300 yard records were shattered. Factory Class scored 239 which beat the previous Custom Class record of 236. The new Custom Class 300 record is now 245 and the GA is 505. There have been many 100/200 yard totals that haven’t reached that. The new Unlimited score for 300 is 240 and the GA is 495. (As said earlier, there are all subject to review.)
We had a total of 28 rifles competing with 10 in Factory Class. The top 7 shooters in Custom Class beat the previous 300 yard record which was set last W/E at Rocky Road in Virginia. Did I mention that we had quite a day?
