Elmira Rod & Gun Club hosted ORSA'S "Fall Final" shoot this past weekend.
12 brave souls showed up to battle the unpredictable winds that show up in the fall at Elmira, and we weren't disappointed. George and Vera Carter weren't seemed to be bothered by the wind, they just stuffed in more powder and took the early lead on Saturday morning. Stan "the man" hanging around!
Mark Robson put together the heavy gear, and took honors with a nice .2346 agg in the afternoon HV. Stan again hanging around!
Sunday came and all H*LL broke loose. Flag tails standing straight up, switching with every blow, cold and damp. It was frustrating, but that is Benchrest !!!!
Stan Walter took the morning matches with a impressive .2667 agg. In any condition, that is great shooting.
Robbie MacLennan got some lunch into him, and threw down a .2853 agg to take top honors in the 200yd LV
When the rain stopped, and the trophies handed out, Stan Walter was again on top with the 2-gun. His second 2 gun in the last two shoots. Congratulations Stan on a great year of shooting!!!!
