Merrill 22 gong match

[JKR]

I made the trip east to Merrill on Saturday for their 22 gong match.
It was a hard holders day with no wind. That match was won and lost with the first ten shots off hand.
Targets were set at 40 yards for off hand and 100, 150, and 190 all shot from rests.
I dropped three standing which took me out of the game.
I had the pleasure of spotting for Brian Dyrcz who shot a beautiful Ballard rifle. Brian dropped his first shot standing and went clean the rest of the way. I believe he was the match winner. Hopefully the scores will be posted here.
It as a fun day shooting. One of the few opportunities we get to shoot a rifle match this time of year.

Great day for winter .22 gong at LGC. Fog rolled in for a while but the wind was negligible. Four way tie for first was broken by reverse hit count. Once again, everyone shot in Modern class. Feb 11th has been nailed down for next match.
I do not have email addresses for Gary Halfman, Bob Chase, or Mike Benson (Unless it’s one of the addresses without a name attached). Can someone please forward the results to them.
Big thanks to all that helped with setup/teardown, Ken Wills for running the line while I shot, and whoever brought the apple strudel. And I bought paint today.
