The first Northern Nevada benchrest match of the 2015 season was the LV/HV Two Gun Nevada State Championship held at the Washoe County Regional Shooting facility north of Reno on May 23rd and 24th. May brought much needed rain to our region that has been plagued with a four year drought and almost no snow over the last winter. The rain brought a lot of mud to contend with over the weekend of the match. Four out of state shooters joined six locals to compete at 200 on Saturday and 100 on Sunday. The first aggregate on Saturday was LV200 in 15-20 mph winds and the threat of rain. Steve Archibald placed first with a .3737, followed by Mark Ronchetti and Everet Smith. Steve also shot the small group of 0.379”. Next up was HV200 in similar conditions and Jan Sarras placed first with a .3793 agg followed by Everet Smith and Mark Ronchetti who shot the small group of the day with a 0.356”. Sunday brought much lighter but switching wind conditions as we started off with HV100. Steve Archibald shot the only two groups in the teens winning the aggregate with a .2664 and small group of 0.137”. Pete Savage of Arizona placed second and Kelle Baitx, a new benchrest shooter who made the trek all the way from Southern California, placed third. We finished up the weekend with LV100 and Steve Archibald just couldn’t be beaten. He won the aggregate with a .2790, followed by his daughter, Sarah, and in third was Pete Savage who shot the small group of 0.181”. The Light Varmint Grand winner was Steve Archibald, with Mark Ronchetti finishing second and Pete Savage placing third. The Heavy Varmint Grand winner was Mark Ronchetti followed by Jan Sarras in second place and Pete Savage in third. Our 2015 Nevada State Two Gun Champion was our match director Steve Archibald. Mark Ronchetti finished in second place, and Pete

The Four Gun Winner is Dr Tim Oltersdorf. Glenn Chism writes that Tim had to navigate through some agg killing wind. The photo is of the good Doctor with his panda “Pinky”. Dr Tim says that “Pinky” was in the closet for a while but is out now. Tim did shoot a three lug BAT with a BAT stock called “Woody” for the LV & SP. Scott (GC Director for Life) Hunter won both the Unlimited and Heavy Varmint on Saturday. Richard Pullum won the Light Varmint. Mike Stinnett ran a fantastic match and passed
out some outstanding trophies. It is people like him who keep our sport alive. I tip my pink hat to him and all the match directors for their hard work and dedication to benchrest.

REPEAT! Oak Hill Gun Club June 20, 2015
The word refers to the act of saying or doing something over again. It could also mean redo, duplication, repetition or replay. Some of those who don’t hear well are asking to repeat, so here it goes. Jerry Wick wins again. What don’t you understand about that? At 100 yards, Jim Carstensen was impressing his son, Ethan and showing him that the old man could still shoot. The Sheriff, Paul Whitmore, was pushing for recognition as a marksman and finished in second place. Jerry, fearing a shut-out, shot the small group at this yardage on his fifth target for third place. Newbie Frank Taucher rounded out the top four and Ethan Carstensen (it’s reported he never practices) was the apple of his father’s eye when he finished in fifth place. At 200 yards, Mister Jerry Wick was all business and proceeded to kick the rest of the field leaving
no doubt. He punctuated the win with another fifth target small group of the day. Keith Christianson gave him some competition, as did Frank Taucher, Jim Carstensen and Jerry King. The “Repeater” also known as Mister Jerry Wick, just cleaned Oak Hill Gun Club out of wood on this match. This was a challenge match, but there was no one to challenge the Repeater. Therefore, the Grand Agg standings showed Jerry Wick in first, followed by Jim Carstensen, Frank Taucher and Keith Christianson as the top five. We had many witnesses and fellow competitors which are listed on the stat sheets. Please look up your favorite shooter and see where they landed. As always, it takes many to put on this match and I wish to thank Jim Schmidt and Jerry King for their continued and unwavering support as well as Dave Lang, our statistician and Marvin Morgan for his target work. Watch out for the “Three-Peat!” --Cecil Peterson Match Director

Steve Archibald Wins 2015 Nevada State Four-Gun Championship by Jan Sarras
The second leg of the 2015 Nevada State Short Range Benchrest Championship was held on June 6th and 7th with the Sporter and 5 shot Unlimited classes contested at the Washoe County Regional Shooting Facility north of Reno, Nevada. First up Saturday morning was the Sporter class at 200 yards. Marty Childers of Central California hadn’t competed at our range in a few years but easily shot the winning agg of .3760. Steve Archibald finished in second place and Arizona shooter Pete Savage took third. Pete also shot the small group of 0.667”. Next up was Unlimited 5-shot at 200 yards to finish up the first day of competition. Marty Childers used his Rail Gun to win with a .3283 agg and also shot the small group of 0.359”. Steve Archibald was second and Don Archibald finished third. Sunday morning we began with the Unlimited 5 shot at 100 yards and Pete Savage won with a .2050 aggregate, just shy of the very rare teen agg seen at our range. Marty Childers finished second, shooting the small group 0.133” and Steve Archibald finished third. Sporter class 100 at yards was the last up for the weekend and Sarah Archibald shot the winning agg of .3708 as well as the small group of 0.250”. Steve Archibald was second and Jan Sarras was third. Marty Childers won the Sporter
Grand and the Unlimited Grand. After averaging in the results from the Two Gun leg of our state shoot two weeks ago, Steve Archibald prevailed as both the Three and Four Gun 2015 Nevada State Champion. Thank you to our target pulling and scoring crew; Kelly Marsh and Kerry Sarras. Please visit our range over Labor Day weekend to compete in the 2015 NBRSA Long Range Varmint Nationals.

Mustafa Bilal Wins NW Regional The NW Regional HV/UNL-5 tournament was held on June 6-7 at the Tacoma Rifle & Revolver Club. The weather was perfect with temperatures ranging from the mid 50’s to the low 80’s. Winds were moderate with frequent switching and mirage was a factor in the afternoons. Competition in the HV100 got under way on Saturday morning with fifteen shooters at their benches. Mustafa Bilal set a blistering pace that would see him lead the pack through all 5 matches, finishing with an impressive .1574 agg. Larry Boers (.2136) saw his way to second and Jeff Lewis (.2330) took third. Mustafa also shot the small group at .119”. In the afternoon’s HV200, it was Don Carter who shot smallest in the 1st match. Larry Boers had the lead in the 2nd and 3rd, and Mustafa Bilal led in the 4th. By the 5th match it was Steve Kostanich who had shot steadiest, winning with a .2458. Mustafa (.2524) held on to second and Larry (.2526) grabbed third. Steve also scored the small group at .245”. With his sizeable lead in the HV100, Mustafa Bilal went on to win the HV Grand with a .2049 agg. Larry Boers (.2331) took second, and Steve Kostanich (.2634) was third. By Sunday’s Unlimited, the number of shooters had dropped to twelve, with 8 rail guns and 4 bag guns in the hunt. In contesting the morning’s UNL200, each match would see a dif-
ferent leader. Don Carter was best in the 1st match. John Parrish took over in the 2nd, Mustafa Bilal in the 3rd, Larry Boers in the 4th and finally Jeff Lewis emerged the victor with a .2411 agg. Larry Boers (.2463) took second place, and Dan Kjelland (.2490) took third. Larry also shot an impressive .208” small group. In the afternoon UNL100, Mustafa Bilal claimed the initial lead. Mark Walker took over in the 2nd match and held on through the 4th, but Mustafa’s small group in the 5th put him back on top with a winning .1958 agg. Mark Walker (.2148) came in second, and Steve Kostanich (.2152) took third place. Mustafa’s 5th group was indeed the small group at .109”. Pretty good timing too! Once again, Mustafa Bilal’s shooting carried the day as he won the UNL-5 Grand with a .2289 agg. Jeff Lewis (.2315) came in second and Steve Kostanich (.2396) took third. So congratulations go out to Mustafa Bilal for his fine weekend of shooting and winning the Northwest HV/UNL-5 Regional, with a grand agg of .2169. Earning second place was Larry Boers (.2386), while Jeff Lewis (.2512) shot his way to third. Next match to report is the Sam Wilson Memorial, Sniper King, Agg King and WA State Championships. --Dan Kjelland In the Tacoma photo are: Back Row from left: Dan Kjelland, Larry Boers, Steve Kostanich, Mark Walker, John Parrish, Jeff Lewis, Don Carter.

Dave Tunbridge Wins North Central Regional Unlimited and Sporter
We had a cool weekend for our first match of the year at Prairie Dog Target Club, (June 6-7). Temperatures were in the 60s and low 70s. The match had been postponed by one week due to heavy rains in western South Dakota and northeast Wyoming. Many of us had to take a roundabout way to the match because of the numerous roads that were washed out. We had a little rain during the weekend but it did not interrupt any of the matches. As we were leaving on Sunday the rain was starting again. Winds for the weekend were mostly at our backs from the south. On Saturday we shot 10 shot Unlimited, the first leg of the 4 gun. The rail guns ruled at 100 yards, Rodney Brown winning by a wide margin with a 0.2382 agg and Dave Tunbridge taking second place. Rodney had small group in 4 of the 5 matches with his 0.176 taking small group honors. At 200 yards the rail guns took the top 3 places with Rodney Brown again winning by a wide margin with Dave Tunbridge and Bud Schalles at second and third. Rodney was starting to slip as he only had small group in 3 of the 5 matches. Small group honors went to Bud Schalles with a 0.488. The 10 shot Unlimited grand aggregate champion
October, 2015 Precision Rifleman
was Rodney Brown with a 0.2886 aggregate followed by Dave Tunbridge and Bud Schalles. On Sunday we started the Sporter match at 200 yards in the 2nd leg of the 4 gun. Dave Tunbridge was the 200 yard winner at 0.2307 edging out Terry Hettich and Keith Hakeman. Small group was a 0.232 by Rodney Brown. At 100 yards Bud Schalles was the winner with a 0.2496 agg followed by Bill Pond shooting the 20 caliber RezDog and third was Terry Hettich. There were two 20 caliber guns shooting in the Sporter class both based on the 220 Russian case. Small group at 100 yards was a 0.074 by Tom Evans. The Sporter class grand agg winner was Terry Hettich at 0.2601 with Bud Schalles second and Keith Hakeman third. The Sporter class grand aggregate winner was Terry Hettich. Bud Schalles was second and Keith Hakeman third. The two-gun winner for the weekend was Dave Tunbridge whose 0.3147 just edged out Rodney Brown’s 0.3181 and Bud Schalles’ 0.3234. Don Deckert did the scoring, Dave Tunbridge ran the computer, Bud Schalles was match director, and Kristen Pippert was the target crew. --Mel Klasi Unlimited 100-Yards Rodney Brown..................0.2382 Dave Tunbridge.................. 0.2776 Bill Pond.......................... 0.2926 Bud Schalles..................... 0.3026

Benchrest Rifle Club of St Louis’ Hunter & VFS Match Mike Schneidman wins VFS Clark Greene wins Hunter
On June 14, we has a really nice day for a score match. We were lucky that the rain held off and started within 5 minutes of calling cease fire for the last target of the day. We had a total of 16 competitors who had a great time. The wind of the day was pretty much from the southwest most of the day with some tail winds mixed in to keep it exciting. In the Varmint for Score class at 100 yards the winner was Dennis Boyet with 250-18X. Second place was Mike Schneidman and Ron Hoehn held third. At 200 yards it was a battle between father and son with son, Mike Schneidman beating out the “Ole Man”with 250-7X and the father, Bud Schnei-
Harvey Wilson Iwatsubo
dman placed second with Ron Hoehn in third. In the Grand, Mike Schneidman was the winner with 500-22X and dad landed second with Ron Hoehn in third. In the Hunter class the 100 yard winner was Joe Hemkens with 25014X. Second went to Clark Greene with Jerry Kloeppel holding third. At 200 yards the Clark Greene took the win with 248-3X.

A very special welcome to new shooters Albert and Stanley Clark who traveled all the way from Indiana! Thanks to all of our competitors that show up at the matches and to our match workers that make it all possible. The next score match honors Buford Seabolt. If you didn’t know Buford you missed one of the finest men we have all known. This is also our Missouri State and Mississippi Valley regional. --Wayne Corley Equipment listed on page 17.

Fifty nine shooters made the competition. We started Saturday with LV100. We were blessed with light winds, but a little light rain also. Dave Dowd won the aggregate with a .2062. He was
followed close behind by Bob Scarbrough Jr. with a .2068. Rounding out the top three was Wayne Cambell with a .2092. That’s .0030� between first and third place! Small group went to Matt Owens who shot a .107 on the last target of the aggregate. In the afternoon we shot HV100. Chris Harris started out hot with a .096 which was the small group of the aggregate. Dean Ekstrom won the aggregate with a .1938, Bob Scarbrough Jr. was second again with a .1948, and Chris Harris was third with a .2104.
Sunday morning was dry with cooler temperatures just to make sure whatever shot good the day before was sure not shoot that day. We started with HV200. Bart Sauter had it all dialed in. He won the aggregate with a .1780. Jeff Graves was close behind with a .1912, and Dean Ekstrom finished third with a .2263. Matt Owens shot the small group again with a .099. We submitted this target to the World Record committee for further review. We finished with LV200 and again Bart Sauter was on fire. He won

WWCCA’s Wolverine Challenge June 5-6, 2015
Well, we got to the range about four days before the match and the weather was good; nice and comfortable. I am telling you all the good things first. We, Dana, Tim, Dominic, and Bill, got the targets, moving backers, paper work ready for the coming match and 22 shooters showed up. Now that is a good thing. The bad thing is the skies opened up on Saturday, and then “really” opened up on Sunday. Of course the rain brought out the mosquito population in clouds. This match should have been “THE MOSQUITO CHALLENGE”. I have been a member of the WWCCA since about 1996 and have been shooting for a long time and I can never remember it being this different. And once in all of these years, well I can say that is not a bad thing. Anyway enough of ranting, and let’s get to the chase. I apologize for the pictures. They had to be taken inside and I am not comfortable with the camera and a whole bunch of other things. That is my excuse. Also, six Canadians showed up to do battle. Outside of one they were all good shooters, EH! Jack Neary marched off with the first segment of LV100 with a .1846 agg followed by Ted Heindselman. To say that Jack showed us the way home would be an understatement. Third was that Canadian Peter Smith, who seems to get in everyone’s face, with a .2450. Small group was a .117 by Jack Neary. At the HV100 on Saturday afternoon, Peter Smith won
with a .1976 agg followed by Stan (the man) Buchtel and Jack Neary in third. The small group in HV was a .106 by Chuck Green. It was obvious that the weather was not a hindrance to these guys. Sunday morning, in the HV200, first place was none other than Rich Quigley with a .1926. Good shooting Rich. Second was Lee Hachigian and that pesky Canadian, Peter Smith was third. Small group was Melvin Newransky at a .165. Now we come to the final stage, the LV200. Jack Neary place first at .1940, with Butch Lipscomb second and Randy
Johansen, another Canadian, in third. Small group was a .221 by Randy Johansen. The Grand’s were interesting to say the least, LV Grand was Jack Neary .1983, with Tim Bassham .second and last but not least, Butch Lipscomb in third. The HV Grand winner was Rich Quigley, along with Peter Smith in second and Lee Hachigian in third. The Two Gun winner was Jack Neary with a .2141, followed by Peter Smith and Lee Hachigian. Butch Lipscomb placed fourth and rounding out the top five was Tim Bassham.

Well…the weather was nice for Midland in June; light winds in the mornings followed by typical switchy/ gusty winds in the afternoon. The temperatures stayed in the low 90s for the afternoon highs. An item to take note of is Aaron French shot his first teen aggregate in a registered match. A .1947 in the HV200.
The SP100 was won by Gene Bukys with a .1808 followed by Brad Calhoun and Tom Brown. Gene also shot the small group, a .098. The HV100 winner was Gary Bristow with a .2288 followed by Charles Huckeba and Larry Baggett. Aaron French shot the small group for the yardage, a .133. Sunday morning, as previously noted, Aaron French, in shooting his first teen aggregate, edged out Gene Bukys for the win in the HV200, with Scott Haywood in third. Britt Robinson shot the small group, a .247. Tim Oltersdorf won the SP200 with a .2412 aggregate, followed by Charles Huckeba and Larry Baggett. Tim also shot the small Group, a .290. Tim came out on top in the Sporter Grand while Gene Bukys won the HV Grand. Gene Bukys won the two-gun with a .2586 aggregate, followed in order by Larry Baggett, Tim Oltersdorf, Charles Huckeba and Aaron French. A special thanks to Charles Huckeba, John Krenik, Pam Black and all the folks who so willingly helped with the set up and tear down in my absence. I was unable to be there due to an illness…Way to step in and help! --Mike Conry In the photo from Left: Tom Brown, Gene Bukys, Aaron French, Charles Huckeba, Larry Baggett, Tim Oltersdorf, Scott Haywood & Brad Calhoun.

Northern Colorado’s Hunter & VFS Howdy all! Wiley E Coyote reporting from Northern Colorado Benchrest Shooters. Our first match of the year was held May 2-3. Gorgeous weather for shooting graced 13 shooters who came out for Hunter and Varmint for Score matches. Hunter and Varmint shooters lined up at the benches, rifles at the ready and bolts in hand. Everyone was eager to get started on the 100 yards target. Yours truly took the 1st place position with a Score of 250-16X. I was quite shocked and happy with my performance to start the season off. The first highest X-count went to our very own Norm Wills with 17X. Great shooting Norm! After target frames were moved to 200 yards we all lined up again with bolts raised to the sky. Barry
Benson was our afternoon trophy taker with an awesome score of 250-9X. Barry also took the high X-count for 200 yards. Way to go Barry! The Grand Agg for the day went to Barry as well with a score of 50021X. He is definitely out to win it! What a great score Barry! Sunday’s 200 yard match was dominated by one of our regular lady shooters; Muriel Hensley, who shot a beautiful score of 250-11X. Even though Ron Hensley tried to overtake the win, Muriel claimed the high X-count too! Beautiful shooting Muriel! After a quick lunch break to move the targets and settle down from the excitement of the morning, we went to the line. With five shooters all sporting 250 aggs, Don Carter was the top dog with his score of 250-19X and highest X-count. Great shooting Don! As the shooters began packing
up, the scores were being finalized and trophies were set out. The 100-200 yard win for the day went to Don Carter with his combined Agg of 500-28X. Now a score of 500 is a coveted score by shooters all around, but I haven’t seen the winning score Barry Benson took for the 2 day Agg 1st place position very often. Barry blew our hats off with a winning score of 1000-40X. You couldn’t have pulled Barry from the clouds with a 10 ton weight. Congratulations Barry! As always, none of this could happen without the shooters who come to play and the top notch staff, match director and target crew. We hope you come to join us at any of our matches. --LuAnn Dill Day 1: 100-Yards LuAnn Dill...................... 250-16X Phillip Sheldon.................. 250-15X Ronald Hensley................. 250-13X Irv Sheldon...................... 250-12X Barry Benson.................... 250-12X Dean Thomas................... 250-11X Tom Evans....................... 250-10X Bud Schalles.................... 249-13X Muriel Hensley.................. 249-13X Cliff McNairy..................... 249-8X Norm Willis...................... 248-17X Al Johnson...................... 247-13X Don Carter...................... 240-14X Day 1: 200-Yards Barry Benson....................250-9X Muriel Hensley................... 249-7X Phillip Sheldon................... 249-6X Dean Thomas.................... 249-6X Ronald Hensley.................. 249-3X Don Carter....................... 248-8X Norm Willis....................... 246-8X Cliff McNairy..................... 246-5X Tom Evans........................ 246-4X LuAnn Dill........................ 245-6X Bud Schalles..................... 245-6X Irv Sheldon....................... 245-4X Al Johnson....................... 235-4X Day 1: Grand Aggregate Barry Benson................... 500-21X Phillip Sheldon.................. 499-21X Dean Thomas................... 499-17X Ronald Hensley................. 499-16X Muriel Hensley.................. 498-20X Tom Evans....................... 496-14X LuAnn Dill....................... 495-22X

Visalia’s California State Championship Part 1: Don Nielson Wins HV Dennis Thornbury Wins Unlimited June 20-21, 2015 There were eighteen shooters in attendance and the weather was hot; 99F on Saturday and 95F on Sunday. Mirage was a huge factor in the afternoon matches. We shot both 100 yards on Saturday beginning with the Unlimited and contending the Heavy Varmint in the afternoon. On Sunday we shot both 200 yard matches beginning with Heavy Varmint and ending the weekend with Unlimited. First time shooter at Visalia, Barry Bloom shot a second place finish in the HV100 right behind Don Nielson’s 0.2488 win for the match. Don also won the Heavy Varmint Grand Aggregate and the title of California State Heavy Varmint Champion for 2015. Dennis Thornbury won the HV200 yardage with his 0.2270 and also held the small group for that match. John Verhagen took first place in the UNL200 with a 0.2371 and George Pizzillo shot the small group of 0.238. Dennis hadn’t yet finished his winning ways, however, as he captured the UNL 100 with a 0.1564 and the small group with a 0.091 as well as winning the UNL Grand with a 0.2076 and claiming the title of California State Unlimited Champion for 2015. The results follow and we thank everyone for attending. Congratulations to the winners! Dan Lutke Heavy Varmint 100-Yards Don Nielson.....................0.2488
