50/25 Sporter Match Results - April

[Danny Creasy]

A first time 50/25 shooter attended this morning and only left one silhouette standing. After Rex Medlin fired his last shot in Scoped Class this morning, just the solitary little chicken was left standing on his target rack. That is a club record. Congratulations Rex - good shooting.

Jay posted two fine scores in O and A Classes to take first place in both.

The early thunderstorms, showers, and cloud cover gave way to blue skies and a marvelous temperature. Great conditions for posting 32 scores in three classes.

Place, score, shooter, rifle, optic (if applicable), and ammunition.

Other highlights:

1. The three way tie for 2nd in Open Sight Class (all shot 10/0) is only superseded by the three way tie for third place in Scope Class with all three shooters taking the "tiebreaker" little chicken (8/1).

2. Paul Enlow shot a personal best open sight score of 10/0 and amazingly enough he fired his beloved CCI CB shorts. His mid-range trajectory is probably 10 inches! Now that just ain't right.

3. A big NASA, Inc welcome to all of our first time 50/25 shooters from this morning:

Lana Horton
John Milton
Mark Hudgins
Rex Medlin
Gary Akin

Thanks for all the help everyone,

Thanks to the "regulars" at NASA for the time you have put in to hosting shooting matches. This was my first attempt at any type of match and it will not be my last! I had a great time this morning and am looking forward to future matches.

Ah the Rimfire Dru I mean Bug has struck again , I am just glad to get back to warm weather so I can feel my fingers and SHOOT. I had a great match/time and as usual the great people we have to talk and fellowship with only makes a good match great. I enjoyed meeting all the new members again, I know we met at intake day but that is like a blur with 75-100 new members walking by all day it is impossible to remember all of yall so Hello again. I am impressed with our new talent and not a single 25 shot today, I think that is a first with this many new shooters. Great job and shooting to all and I hope to see yall at the 25/25 and or USBR and CMP, till then keep it in the 10. "T"


P.S. Eley has changed their priming compound on the Match EPS and Tenex lines and the old Eley smell went away, I opened an old box of Target (yellow box) today and ahhhhh that old Eley primer smell made it that much better. Maybe I need an Eley support group or 12 step prog. but I love that smell of old Eley and Aguila, it reminds me of the first time I shot with yall get this 3 years ago (it feels like maybe a year, 18 mo. tops) in the 50/50.

I would like to point out that our club president, Dwight Pilkilton, not only created this board for NASA, Inc. but another board called Rimfire Shooting designed for a broader (international) following. Here is a link to my thread about this very same subject (today's 50/25 Match):

By the way Reece, that is a beautiful new rifle you had at the match today. I wish I had taken more time to examine your new Kimber 82C. The big crowd kept me busy though. Congratulations on such a fine acquisition. You must let me shoot it sometime.

I had a good time yesterday at my first match. Everyone was friendly and helpful. I really appreciated the encouragement I heard as I shot.

I had the good fortune to be be observing Rex as he shot at bench 4 and proceeded to knock 24 off the stand. I enjoyed watching him. Very good Rex...I can only dream of such good shooting.

Thank you to everyone.

[Danny Creasy]

Thanks for the kind remarks Gary. We enjoyed having you shoot with us.

That is a nice old Winchester 190 you have there. In my teens, my friend, Mike Baggett, had the Sears Ted Williams labeled version of the Winchester 190. I had a bolt action Savage/Springfield singleshot. We enjoyed lengthy plinking expeditions with his "M1" and my "03".
