Match Results: August 2007 Archives

Nine shooters attended the August 12, 2007 monthly smallbore prone match at Tucson Rifle Club. The weather was hot and humid, but the wind conditions were reasonable. Two shooters fired "clean" targets: Jim Denovchek at 50 yards, 200-13x and Greg Fallon at 100 yards, 200-11x. This proves that older model rifles can still perform well, as Jim used a CMP Kimber 82 and Greg used a Winchester 52. Junior shooter Nathan Abel joined us for the second month, having borrowed and fallen in love with an Anschutz offered for sale by Eric Lute.
