Gulf Rifle & Pistol Club​

 

  Today we had a challenging match with very hot temperatures. We had an occasional light breeze and Charles won both ; best target of the day-237-5X out of 250 possible , and first place overall with a 464-9X , great job Charles . Rick came in second followed by Bobby in third. We only had 5 competitors this time for our third Sporter only match .  

  This is a difficult match to shoot being limited to 6 power scope . Good equipment, ammo and experience all lead to success on this one  , even experienced shooters sometimes can’t get it all to line up just right when you need it to . 

  We had a new shooter to the match  today Matt Buckley he did very well for his first time here with a new gun - hope we see you back in coming months for our regular matches . 

   We missed all our regulars - see you next month 

 

 

Bobby takes home his 5th win for the year , Tom took 2nd place an Rick in 3rd just edging out Charles in 4th , Braelyn Dennison took home a win in the women’s and youth division- my niece did a great job 👍👍 and I had top score in sharpshooter class.    Great day but HOT and humid … So we were looking for rain today but ended up with a bright sunny day with occasional slight  wind . Great match !
