TOP SHOT SILHOUETTE
QUITMAN, LA
May 21, 2016
BY: CHARLIE BRAUD

This Saturday we had our best turnout since we began conducting matches here at Top Shot last October. Seven shooters completed a total of eleven entries if you include the NRA Cowboy Rifle shooters. IHMSA Region Two Director Allen Gaskin made his first appearance here and fired a couple of entries. In Unlimited he used his 7BR Defiance for a 39X40. Then with his BF 270 Max he managed to topple 36. Will Kirste, using a custom fast twist XP in 221 Fireball, hit all 40 animals in UAS but lost a single ram with a good center hit. I was spotting for him and the ram swayed but didn’t fall. Brother Philip was with us today and also scored 39 in UAS although he hit all 40 with his XP in 300 Whisper. His “miss” was the result of a late shot on a pig. He then re-entered UAS with his MGM Contender 223 to get some sight settings for a new load. The result was a 34 with several hit targets that didn’t fall. I attempted UAS Half Scale with cast bullets and could only manage a 30X40. In Unlimited with my XP 7BR and cast I did a little better with a final tally of 35X40. I’m sorry to admit that I was so tired from setting targets and running the match that I neglected to get the scores of the NRA Rifle shooters. Thanks to all who attended today.
