                                                State .22 Rifle & Pistol Contest

We had a successful turn out for the State Small-bore rifle and pistol contest. There were a total number of 23 competitors for the rifle
portion of the contest, and 11 competitors for pistol. The weather was sunny and hot with a slight cool breeze between various stages of
the competition. Several volunteers arrived early to help setting up target stands, arranging the safety line and firing points, and serving
as range officials for the day.
 Range officials for the day were Christal Bensch, Terry Nelson, Billy Bullard, Jason Tacker, Charles Urquhart, Sterling Atwood, Ivan Rodg-
ers, Annette Brouse, and JJ Jones. Amanda Goeppinger, Susana Horton, Tonya Boatman and Michael Bensch volunteered to handle scoring.
As the participants arrived they were given instructions to take their cased firearms and equipment to be checked in by Michael Bensch
and Charles Urquhart. Check in ran smoothly and everyone was ready to compete, many bottles of water had already been consumed to
keep the participants, volunteers, and range officials hydrated.
The first part of the event was the Small-bore rifle contest, starting with the 3 position, then the CMP, and finally silhouettes. The second
part of the event was the Small-bore pistol contest, starting with silhouettes, then the slow fire bullseye, and ending with the Camp Perry
round.
