Raton Nationals
Five-at-200 Side Match
Results

 

The 2008 Five at 200 side match sponsored by Pedersoli at Raton is over and the results are listed below. The shifting winds were rather troublesome this year and with the sun popping in and out of clouds made it hard to break old records so group sizes are a bit larger than in prior years.

Shooting was delayed a few times when a bear decided to walk around behind the target frames. Also had delays from baby antelope which refused to move away. Had shoot a rattler which decided it needed a close up look at the shooting benches. Otherwise it was a great time for all.

Thanks go to Rick and Linda Herzog who came from Montana to run this match in my absence.


Pedersoli generously supplied lots of spare parts, sights, shirts, hats, catalogs and other items which were snapped up by the shooters for free, or at big discounts.
