    Field Precision Rifle Match 2/8/2014 at Palo Alto

    What great weather we had for our February FPR match at Palo Alto. It was 40 degrees to start the morning out with gentle winds. Conditions made it a bit tricky on the last strings of the day though. We had 16 shooters in attendance that posted up some great scores.

    We had 3 shooters in the no bag class this month. Warren Freeman takes 1st shooting a 589-28X from a sling.
    In the FPR rear bag class, Mickey Brinkman takes the first place slot shooting a 592-21X. Sam Entrican takes second with a 568-9X.

    8 shooters showed to shoot the match as an F Class Practice class match. There were 3 - 591’s shot and we had to go to X count to separate the top three slots. Bob Lundholm took the top spot with his 591-27X that earned him 1st place. Jerry Boudreaux was right on Bob’s heals taking the 2nd place slot with a 591-26X. Chip Noel finishes third with a 591-20X. Great shooting guys.

    We hope that everyone enjoyed the match as much as we did.
    See everyone next month.
