Seven shooters contested the December Ranchito Robinson Bench-Rest Silhouette match; enjoying the fine company and shooting challenge of no less than THREE Corcorrans (Bobby, Sandy, and Darwin) and four Red Wolves contesting the matches. Given the caliber of competitors in attendance, both visiting and regulars, and lighter winds than usual, the Match Director predicted the RR course record of 38/40 would fall. However, the unique combination of terrain, ground cover and outbuildings at RR twisted the lighter winds into a wind-doping puzzle to test... rather, tax the mettle of every shooter. And though several shooters posted personal bests, the club record remained intact.
In prevailing as Overall Match Winner with his 80 Foot Pound (maximum) class .25 Sumatra, Ron Robinson’s 37/40 included ten-in-a-row chickens and turkeys.
Derrick Wall’s excellent 36/40 with his .22 Daystate Pulsar earned him the 35 Foot Pound (maximum) Match Winner certificate, and a ten-in-a-row pigs award pin. Derrick also captured the Pistol BRS Match Winner certificate next day, setting an unbeatable new pistol BRS record with a perfect 40/40. Needless to say, in doing so he added 4 ten-in-a-row award pins to his weekend haul. GREAT SHOOTING DERRICK! If that guy ever learns how to tune an airgun, we’re gonna be in big trouble, Y'all.
A terrific Mexican food group-dinner with our Arizona friends after the rifle matches capped another memorable Ranchito Robinson Bench-Rest Silhouette weekend.
