Results from the 2009 State Championship can be found here.
SUPR Highlights:
Jeff Bailey finished 10th overall in Limited Class, and was Top Shooter in Limited A class.
Gary Powell took 2nd overall in Limited 10 class.
Ken Nelson took Top Overall Unclassified Shooter.
Brian Nelson was the only Junior shooter in the match and got a nice trophy. He would have finished middle of the adult pack had he brought enough functioning magazines to avoid 6 FTE’s, 12 misses, and 0 match points on a 47 round stage. Lesson learned! Brian also had the joy of beating his Dad on two stages.
Speaking for Brian and myself, we had fun but were clearly shown where we are weak by complex stages with all sorts of new gadgetry we’d never seen before. I described it to non-shooters as shooting near par on Dixie Red Hills and then playing the Black tees at Green Spring and being schooled.
I’ll post videos and other stuff on the state match tomorrow or Tuesday.
The CAPS staff and the others that put on the match deserve a big thanks. I know I was exhausted when I left, and they still had work ahead of them.
BTW: We had a lot of interest in our Dixie Classic match in March.
