    Field Precision December 10, 2016 at Palo Alto

    21 shooters showed to the December 2016 600Y FPR match at Palo Alto. Thanks to Glen Padgett and Robin Ardoin for helping me call the line. Thank you Boudreaux for your help with the flags.

    We had 18 shooters shooting FPR this month. Mickey Brinkman scored a 589-27X that earned him 1st place medal. Charlie Ross finished 2nd place finish shooting a 582-19X.

    3 shooters showed to shoot the match as an F Class/prone practice match. Jerry Boudreaux wins the 1st place medal again this month posting up a 592-28X.

    I am going to move forward with the point system by finish for the top 5 monthly spots starting in January. 1st gets 5pts, 2nd gets 4pts, 3rd gets 3pts, 4th gets 2pts, and 5th gets 1pt. The shooter that finishes off with the highest number of points is crowned the 2017 Palo Alto FPR Champion after the close of the December 2017 match. Runner up will be recognized as well. In event of a tie of points, the shooter with the highest number of 1st place monthly finishes takes prize.

    Happy Holidays to all, see everyone in 2017.
    Mickey
