Dear Friends,
From the fertile imagination of Danny Creasy, he developed and we scheduled a pistol-version of our ever-popular Rapid-Fire Rimfire rifle match with the participants using semi-auto pistols offhand to engage rows of rams, turkeys, pigs & chickens as quickly as possible. Just like the rifle match, the score is the sum of individual times for each row. The maximum time allowed for each row is 45 seconds. While the rifle RFRF rifle match distance is 25-yards, the pistol match distance was 12-yards so both eye and ear protection were mandatory. We had a magnificent seven shooters show up on this cool (mid-40s) and cloudy morning. Since this was our first experience at this game, it was decided that each competitor could shoot twice and select the "best" score. Here are the final results.
Pistol RFRF
Optical Sight Class
1st Ulus Farris 45.00 sec. Ruger MKII Bushnell 1.3X scope Winchester Bulk
2nd Chicago Mike 90.10 sec. Ruger 22/45 Browning Red Dot Remington Thunderbolt
Open Sight Class
1st Andrew Butler 29.75 sec. Browning Buckmark CCI SV
2nd Danny Creasy 34.16 sec. S&W Model 41 CCI SV
3rd Peary Willard 63.22 sec. S&W Model 41 CCI Blazer
4th Bill Parkhurst 70.68 sec. High Std HD Military CCI SV
5th John Butler 115.44 sec. Ruger MKIII Winchester Bulk
Congratulations to Ulus and Andrew for winning their classes in this inaugural RFRF pistol match. I suspect we'll see this match down the road again as it proved most enjoyable. Next Saturday, February 7, 2015, will be our regular 50/25 rimfire rifle match. Stay tuned for the start time.
