Wow, that is a lot of cleans shot at 1000. Very impressive scores. Maybe a record for the most cleans shot in one day

I'm going out on a limb and guessing that the first F-Open relay didn't have too much wind, but it looks like it didn't stay that way.

Lots of good shooters down at this one.

Nice work Jerry Iliff, Palma Alliance for the win!

Yes Larry did kick some tail today! And he was on the rotation to shoot first and last rounds of the day... 3 down on that last relay of the day was brilliant shooting

My only regret is that in the haste to pay off the award money, I didn’t take the radio from Ben and have the shooters give Ben Brooks, Glen Edgard and Don Diffey the recognition that they earned by working their asses off this weekend. They sacrificed their shooting so that others like me could have fun. They deserve all the credit and everyone gratitude for a terrific event.

I am also very grateful to all the shooters that participated for their camaraderie and good sportsmanship that make these events truly fun. I feel like we are truly brothers from different families united by our passion for shooting. There is no place I'd rater be than at the range with them.

100% agree with all of that..! Don Diffy,Ben Brooks and Glenn Edgard are the super starts of the week! They sacrificed the weekend to allow us to play this game..! ....Thanks to all of you guys....

You are right to give them a big thank you. There are times when it all comes together. Great scores mean great shooters, but also great pit service, great range, great support staff, great match director. They should all be acknowledged. I will have to put this match on my 2019 calendar, so I can at least say I shot at what may be one of the best matches out there.

"Great job", goes out to all that made it happen.

you Texans are a class act and the match was first rate in every way. I never did figure out your range, so will have to come back and try again next year

Otis Riffey, Marksman class & 2nd place overall. Great job you super sandbagger!

Considering Jason is unclassified in I believe his third time ever at 1000 it makes Otis look like an old pro at sharpshooter.

Scott I can tell you I was shocked as heck about getting 2nd. I had to take 4or5 double looks at that and ask a few people if I was seeing that right.I was thinking 5th or 6th.I know I was more interested in the show down between Ray and Jason.PJ told me no more shooting what the NRA has me registered as or he’s going to protest..he’s a good team mate.
