Mission - 2017 Jim Latham Memorial VFS Shoot
« on: July 10, 2017, 09:08:58 PM »
The Mission range provided its usual challenging summer conditions for our fifth annual VFS shoot.  We started at 300 yards before the mirage got bad enough to hide all bullet holes later in the day, followed by 100 and 200 yardages.

It was a hard fought battle, but Joe prevailed to win the Grand Agg with a sizzling shoot at the final yardage. 

Thanks to all our shooters for participating and keeping the schedule tight. 

It was definitely a group effort - Joe ran the match, Art prepped the targets and Art and Sue did the scoring.  Target running was definitely a group effort, with Sue, Sam, Art and Denis helping out (and I'm sure I've missed somebody.)  Finally, thanks to Dan Zaccanti who couldn't make the match but still went out of his way to be sure we had 300 yard targets to shoot!

Thanks to our sponsors - Richard Nicol and HW Precision.

Grand Agg:  1st Joe Mendham, 2nd Denis Lapierre, 3rd Sam Parotta
100 yard Agg:  1st Sam Parotta, 2nd Joe Mendham, 3rd Dave Holbrook
200 yard Agg:  1st Joe Mendham, 2nd Denis Lapierre, 3rd Art Harder
300 yard Agg:  1st Art Harder, 2nd Wally McDonald, 3rd Dave Holbrook

Richard came through with a couple more pics - Thanks!
