2012 Top Shot Competition Results

July 6, 2012

Tri-City Metallic Silhouette Shooters Assoc.

The 2012 version of the RRGC Top Shot was held on July 6 at the Tri-City Metallic Silhouette Shooters Association range. It was a hot (~100o) afternoon and the shooting was tough. Six venues were shot, with winners in five of those venues (there were no successful shooters in the Varmint category). Everyone had the same opportunities, and any ties were broken based on the time it took to complete the venue. Dave Myers thanks everyone for their support and assistance in making this a great Club event.

Winners

Shotgun

The shotgun competition was particularly tight with four shooters (Larry Morgan, Doc Laughery, Leon Kollman and Dale Schielke) scoring perfect ten's and only 18 seconds separating these hot shooters; in the end, Larry came out on top with 10 broken birds in 1 minute 0.3 seconds from first to last shot.

Center-Fire

In the center-fire (hunting) venue the top shot was Don Board breaking 5 targets with six shots.

Handgun

In the handgun venue, top shot was Kirby Hammond breaking 4 targets in 2 minutes 16.7 seconds.

Rim-Fire

In the rim-fire venue, top shot was Fay Lyon, pulverizing 5 charcoal briquettes in just 33 seconds.

Archery

Archery ended with a tie between Richard Sharp and Chris Moshur, each breaking one target (time was not an issue as they had to retrieve their arrows in order to get 10 shots in.

Potluck

Dale Schielke put together a wonderful Cashew-Pheasant dish for those shooters who were able to stay long enough to partake. We are hoping Dale submits the recipe for the Club's website.
