March 50/25 Results

[Danny Creasy]

As mentioned earlier, this is the 4th anniversary of the 50/25 Match (earlier known as the 50/50 Match). In spite of a one day postponement and a cold overcast day, we had 15 shooters with most shooting in multiple classes. With the anniversary and all, it was quite appropriate that someone cleaned the rack today. This was the first zero score posted in the match's present guise. Three ladies posted their personal best scores ever and regular stalwarts; Willie, Jay, Randy, Rex, and Dwight were at the top of their games as well.

This match has an eight and a half pound ceiling for the combined weight of the rifle and its sights. I weighed in everyone today to insure compliance.

Place, score (silos left standing by P Dogs hit), shooter, rifle, scope (if applicable), ammunition, and rifle's weight.

I decided to campaign this year across the board with my oldest CZ American. It is an exceptionally accurate rifle. It has been my designated CMP Sporter Rifle for the past few years with a fixed 6 power Sightron scope on board. With the club's diverse mix of sporter matches facing us this year, I thought it best to exchange the Sightron for the more versatile 6-18X44 Swift Premier scope that I had on it originally (2007 file pic below). Lookin like this may be a good move.
