Mission - Jim Latham Memorial Score Match - Sunday, June 1, 2025

[mdumont]

The course of fire will be 20 Score rounds at each of 100, 200 and 300 yards.  Bring 80 rounds or so if you preload.  Awards to third place at each yardage and the Jim Latham Perpetual Trophy to the winner of the Grand Agg.  Your chance for fame and glory!  We will shoot the 300 yard match first to allow for shot spotting in summer conditions,

This match has very few equipment rules - No muzzle brakes and no rail guns.  F-Open rifles are more than welcome!  Jim was always a fan of cross pollination in the shooting sports...

Safety meeting at 8:45, Match begins at 9:00 am sharp and we should be done by 4:00 pm or so.

$40 entry fee - Clubhouse cafeteria is open for lunch!

Pre registration is required, so please email me (markdumont750@gmail.com) or Joe (joemendham@telus.net) if you plan to attend and with any questions.

We ended up with 14 shooters, including a welcome half dozen visiting us from the USA. 

Conditions varied from quite mild to switchy, with winds running uprange but swapping to catch the unwary. 

The competition was very tight, including an epic 5 way tie for second place at 200 yards.  I think this was resolved correctly!

With Joe away on a family matter, Art stepped in to call the line and help with targets as well as his usual scoring duties - He was a busy fellow!  Thanks also to Don who ran the targets. 

Congratulations to Jeff Locke, who took the Grand Agg in his first appearance.  Fine shooting in tough competition!

Feel free to post any pics from the shoot to this thread, or pass them along to me and I'll handle it.
