Since the local paper has become too "international" to print the local matches, I'll send them here.
Coker, “Big Fifty” Win
Buz Coker, shooting a 50-90 buffalo rifle, often termed the “Big Fifty” narrowly beat Dave Gamble to win the monthly Long Range Match under very trying wind conditions. Coker had 19 hits out of a 30 shots, one more than Gamble’s 18 hits shooting a 45-70. Elwyn Brunner was right behind with 17 hits for third place. Fourth place was garnered by Joe Corley with 12 hits, and 4 shooters wound up with 11 hits, Randy Stennerson, Al Lee, Gary Campbell and Brian Schwend, finishing in that order by virtue of most hits on the longest target. Kenny Boschee was high scope shooter with 13 hits.

A 1,200 yd Buffalo shoot was held following the regular match. Gary Perkins after a disappointing LR match due to scope problems came back to claim high overall score with 5 hits out of 10 tries .
