Another Sniper King Match in the Books

By Jeff Lewis Tacoma's Sniper King event, the oldest continuously awarded trophy in Benchrest, was the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th of July, 2016. Awarded annually since 1944, the winner receives the trophy based on the smallest 10 shot group shot at 200 yards. This year, Steve Kostanich beat them all with his .281" 10 shot group shot on Saturday morning.

Shooters had 15 opportunities to shoot that one small group.

Local shooters were pleased to see the number of people who

traveled great distances to attend the Sniper King this year. We had shooters attend from 6 western states besides Washington. They brought with them sunshine and temperatures in the mid 70`s at times, but were treated to some cooler temps, especially on the 4th of July. Thankfully, those from warmer states came prepared for the cooler temps in the evenings and on the 4th of July.

Congratulations to Steve Kostanich for also winning the Agg King trophy this year with a .2064" 10 shot agg @ 200. The Sam Wilson Trophy was taken by Gary Ocock for the 5th year in a row, shooting

Graf & Sons, Inc. 800-531-2666 www.grafs.com

a great 2 gun agg of .2084. Gary Ocock won the 10 shot grand agg Friday with a .2260.

Of special note: If you want to see where the small groups are common, come to Tacoma, WA. 62, yes 62 screamer groups were fired over the 3 day event. The smallest were as follows. Lou Murdica @ 100 yards with a .153" group 10 shot group, and Steve Kostanich with his .281" 10 shot group @200.

Tom Libby @ 100 yards with a .078" group 5 shot group, and Bruce Andrews, with his .138" 5 shot group @200.

Personalized coffee cups are awarded to shooters with the smallest group fired in each agg.

Award winners this weekend were: Lou Murdica, Steve Kostanich, Mark Walker, Eric Stanton, Tom Libby and Bruce Andrews!

Congratulations to all the shooters. Great fun was had by all and lots of good info shared all weekend. Special thanks to Teresa Boers, who prepared and served the BBQ after the match on Saturday. Smoked Brisket and Pulled Pork were on the menu, as was smoked green bean & bacon, corn on the cob, potato salad, smoked peppers and mushrooms, and coleslaw. It was incredible feast!

Thanks to all who contributed side dishes and dessert.

The benchrest community is a group I admire. This group of people we surround ourselves with are constantly outdoing themselves to welcome and encourage camaraderie. It was very nice to meet some of the shooters and their spouses that traveled from near and far to be here.

And lastly, I`d like to bring your attention to the outstanding crew we have behind the scenes; Karen Lynn, Jim Lynn, Zach Silverton, Henry Hanson and Craig Kensler all played huge roles in our successful match.

With a break from the summer's heat, the match drew 21 competitors on Saturday for the group competition and 26 shooters on Sunday for the VFS match.

In the HV100 competition, Chet Whitebread shot his way to an easy first-place finish with a .2030 aggregate. Don Crunk was second with a .2456 aggregate, and Dennis Boyet, shooting a .30 BR, was third with a .2490 agg. Don Kearney was fourth with a .2518 agg, and Dave Brooks was fifth with a .2580. We had a first-time shooter Craig Brokow place seventh with 0.2760 and the small group at 100

was Don Crunk’s .133.

When the target frames were moved out to 200 yards, Mike Bigelow surged to the front with a fine .2400 agg, outdistancing the pack by a considerable amount.

Second went to Chet Whitebread with a .3171 and third went to Don Crunk with a .3186. Fourth place went to Ron Miller with a .3278, and fifth was Jason Stanley; another .30 BR shooter, with a .3287.

Small group at 200 yards was Craig Brokow's .340.

Parlaying a first-place finish at 100 yards and a second-place finish at 200 yards, Chet Whitebread won the grand aggregate with fine .2600. Mike Bigelow placed second with a .2703, and third was Don Crunk with a .2821. Jon Leu was fourth with a .3017 and Jim Shipley was fifth with a .3079.

In the VFS100-yard competition, Don "Call me Pete for score matches" Crunk outdistanced the field of 26 to garner first place with a 250-18X. Don Westover was second with a 250-15X, and Chet Whitebread was third with a 25014X. Also shooting a 250-14X was Kurt Van Wyk for fourth place and

Ronnie Berg with a 250-14X for fifth place.

With the targets moved out to 200 yards, Chet Whitebread was first with 250-7X, followed by Dee Myers with a 250-3X. Jeff Shultz was third with 249-6X, Don "Pete" Crunk was fourth with 249-4X and Howard Cowher was fifth with 248-8X. Chet Whitebread won the VFS grand aggregate with a 500-21X, edging out Dee Myers who was second with a 500-15X. Don "Pete" Crunk was third with a 499-22X, Jeff Shultz was fourth with a 49823X and Howard Cowher was fifth with a 498-21X. The first leg of the Mid-States Championship was shot in April, again with a Heavy Varmint group match on Saturday and a Varmint for Score match on Sunday.

That match was published in July, 2016’s issue. Standings for both matches in each of the two legs were combined to determine the 2016 Mid-States Champion.

In the race for Mid-States Champion, Chet Whitebread was first followed by Mike Bigelow in second place and Dee Myers in third

2016 Rattlesnake: New Mexico State Championship Won’t Soon Be Forgotten

By Mark Motsko August 20-21, 2016 Fifty nine shooters came to Raton, NM over the weekend to try to qualify for the 2017 world team.

Afternoon storms during the week caused the shoot to start at 8am on Saturday instead of Sunday.

In the Light Varmint 100 yard match, Rodney Brown started hot and took home the first place trophy and some cash from the cash option with a .1830 aggregate. Bob Scarbrough Jr came in second with a .2062, and John Horn took third with a .2094. Charles Huckeba took home small group trophy with a .078.

In the Heavy Varmint 100 yard, Gary Bristow chased Gene Bukys and finally caught him in the last match to take first with a .1748.

Bukys finished second with a .1772.

Brown was third with a .1910. Mike Bryant took home the small group trophy with a .099.

On Sunday, Bristow continued his hot hand at the HV200 with a potential world record .1466 aggregate and small group trophy of

.136. Also, his HV grand aggregate of .1607 was also a potential world record, but a very regretful error recycled Saturday’s backers and they were re-taped and reused for Sunday therefore making it impossible to verify the grand aggregate.

New Mexico Rio Grande Benchrest regrets the error and offers another heartfelt and sincere apology to Mr. Bristow. We look forward to seeing the results of the scoring committee for Mr. Bristow’s 200 yard aggregate. Mike Conry took second with an .1809, followed by Todd Tyler with a .1840. Bukys was second in the HV Grand Aggregate at .1893, Larry Baggett was third at .2107, followed by Mike Conry and John Horn.

Sunday afternoon, Rodney Brown was back on top of the standings in the LV200 with a .2263, followed

by Durward Wofford at .2438 and Mike Conry at .2452. Rex Reneau won the small group trophy with a .173.

For the LV grand aggregate Rodney Brown’s .2046 bested Mike Conry’s .2508 and Joe Hargadine’s .2528.

6th Annual REO Memorial Two Gun

The 6th annual REO Memorial (Roy E Oines) was held on August 6-7 at the Holmen Rod & Gun Club. Good shooting conditions all weekend with temperatures in the low 80’s and clear skies and light winds. We had 23 Hunter shooters and 24 varmint for score participants at this match.

Wade Hunnewell was at the top of the 250 list after the 15X tie was broken with Steve Rosendale. In third was Mike Bigelow 250-13X followed by Jim Koffman 250-11X and Mark Taylor 250-9X for the top 5 at 100-yard Hunter.

Steve Rosendale stepped it up a notch at 200 yards to claim the 200-yard trophy 247-5X followed

by Randy Robinett and Tom Hencken, both posting 247-4X. Hunter Grand Agg went to Steve Rosendale 497-20X, followed by Randy Robinett 496-20X and Tom Hencken, 496-19X. Sunday morning during the VFS 100-yard warm-up match I heard “it was like shooting at a fish-

ing bobber in Lake Superior”.

However, Steve Rosendale again managed to keep rocking with the waves and timed 22 of his shots for X’s. 250-22X. Apparently it wasn’t that bad, because 16 shooters produced 250’s. Second was Tom Hencken 21X followed

by Randy Robinett 21X, Chad Hilton 20X and Marlyn Kemnitx 20X. Mike Bigelow wasn’t giving up!

He kept shooting 10’s & X’s until the end. The only 250 and 10X’s to claim first place at 200 yards.

Second went to Dean Walter 2498X and third was Russ Stiner 2493X. The VFS Grand trophy was earned by Mike Bigelow 500-27X. Second was Dean Walther. Third place was Russ Stiner 499-18X. So out of 21 shooters, who wins the 2-gun? HBR 200-yard World Record Holder Tom Hencken takes the Two Gun trophy while shooting an old used rifle he picked up yesterday. Tom’s 994-46X bumps Mike Bigelow into second place 994-45X, Steve Rosendale third, 993-46X followed by Dean Walther 993-42. Nothing wrong with

old and used!

Thanks to all our helpers! We couldn’t do this without you!

I can’t end this without saying something about REO. Roy’s sense of humor is carried on…

When he was running this match, he said we should have a booby prize for the first person that shoots a 49-4X target. Unfortunately, I won the first one and am still called “Fathead” thanks Roy! But hey, to error is human and this years’ Fathead Award goes to the “super-human” Randy Robinett. Roy wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. “Pay Attention”.

By Jim Schmidt Seventeen shooters enjoyed the 63 degree weather and the very breezy conditions when the light varmint group match started at Oak Hill Gun Club. Sweaters and jackets were required equipment in the morning. Jerry Wick did not notice the wind and shot a .1502 agg. at 100 yards. Jerry also shot the small group with a mighty fine .032 target, he backed that one up on his next target with a .085.

The temperature did warm up to 73 degrees when the 200 yard LV match started but the high humidity and switchy winds continued to challenge most competi-

He won everything else including the Two Gun. When the results from both matches are tallied, Richard Watson was the Arkansas State Champion with an agg of 0.2463 followed by Joe Hargadine and Matt Owens. Congratulations to the winners and thanks to everyone for supporting our range.

Tri Cities MSA Hunter

June 25, 2016 Nine shooters participated in the first match of the summer at TriCities. Most of us started out the day dropping a point or two on the first target at 100-yards just to take the pressure off. Bill Small decided that he wanted to live with the pressure and waited until the last target to drop one point, Name Bill Small Dick Mayer Glenn Sampson Jim McDonnell Paul Gylling Mike Fowler

Tri Cities MSA VFS Match

July 23, 2016 Eight die-hard shooters showed up for our July varmint for score match along with the July heat that is normal for the brown part of the evergreen state. Conditions were good for the 100 yard match with just enough mirage and wind change to make it a challenge and for everyone to blow at least one shot. The 200 yard match got a little challeng-

ing with mirage that was hard to see through, wind that caused you to hold about 3 inches off the target to hit the 10 ring at times and the troll in the hole causing grief. Glenn XXX Sampson (a legend) came out best man of the day winning the 100 yard match and the aggregate with Paul Gylling (Forest Gump) right behind him. Scores were as follows: VFS 100-Yards Glenn Sampson...........249-15X Dick Mayer................. 249-12X Paul Gylling................ 248-16X Dan Norgrove.............. 248-11X Rick DeGroat............... 247-10X Bob Birney.................. 246-7X Hank Tanning............... 244-4X Mike Fowler................. 242-9X VFS 200-Yards Paul Gylling................ 240-4X Glenn Sampson............. 240-3X Dick Mayer.................. 237-1X Hank Tanning............... 235-2X Mike Fowler................. 235-0X Dan Norgrove............... 230-0X Rick DeGroat................ 227-1X 100-200 Grand Glenn Sampson...........489-18X Paul Gylling................ 488-20X Dick Mayer................. 486-13X Hank Tanning............... 479-6X Dan Norgrove.............. 478-12X

Yellowstone Rifle Club Montana State Championship Hettich Wins Two-Gun

The Montana State Light and Heavy Varmint championship benchrest match was contested at the Yellowstone Rifle Club on July 23rd and 24th. We had a great turnout of shooters with 18 competitors. It was a hot one with temperatures in the mid 90’s, clear skies and gusty winds.

Terry Hettich started the weekend off by winning the LV100 match with a .3284 aggregate.

Rodney Brown came in second with a .3572 agg and was followed

by Ryan Lienemann in third with a .3978. It would be an understatement to say that the winds were challenging that match. Only three shooters managed to finish with 100 yard agg’s in the 3’s. Terry Hettich claimed the LV100 small group award with a nice .177 on the 4th target. The LV200 match was up next and this time around only Rodney Brown was able to

navigate the winds successfully enough to pull off a .3 agg. Rodney’s .3418 agg got him the first place trophy and Terry Hettich took second with a .4150 agg, followed by Ryan Lienemann in third with a .4168. The 200 yard small group award went to John Donnelly with a .436 he fired in match 2.

At the end of the day, the LV grand aggregates were tallied and Rodney Brown came out on top with a .3495 agg. Terry Hettich’s .3717 took second place and Ryan Lienemann continued to hold onto his second runner-up position with a .4073. The top five was rounded out by Jason Schimetz, who shot a .4465 and Jeff Anderson with a .4509.

The wind situation was much improved on Sunday morning for the start of the Heavy Varmint gun matches. First up was the 200 yard match and Rodney Brown once again took top honors with a .2933 agg. Terry Hettich threw down a nice .270 group in match 1, which earned him the small group award for the yardage as

well as the 2nd place trophy for his .3042 agg. Ryan Lienemann came in third with a .3064 agg.

We finished off the weekend with the HV100 match, and this time around Terry Hettich dominated every target and ended up with a .2350 agg that put all of the rest of us to shame. Richard Lynn took the second place honors with a .3274 and Paul Holland was in third with a .3338. Jeff Anderson won the HV100 small group award with a very nice .120 group in the fourth match.

In the HV grand, Terry Hettich came out on top with a very respectable .2696. Not surprisingly, Rodney Brown was right up there in second place with a .3252 and Roger Schuppe took third with his .3329. Finishing out the top five were Justin Young with a .3438 and Jason Schimetz with a .3449.

With Terry and Rodney trading first place finishes throughout the weekend, there was little doubt that they each would be going home with two-gun wood, and after the computer cranked out the

November, 2016 Precision Rifleman

final results it showed Terry in first place with a .3206 agg followed by Rodney in second with a .3374 and Ryan Lienemann in third with a .3771. I want to congratulate the winners and thank all of the competitors for attending the match and continuing to supporting our club. We all owe a big thanks to my wife Ginger for scoring the targets, putting on the lunches and the countless other chores she does to help me run these matches. I couldn’t do it without her.

Thanks also to the target crew Hailey Anderson, Kyle Lienemann and Tyler Lienemann.

WWCCA Fall Classic September 17-18 2016 Plymouth, Michigan

We stared Saturday morning with a constant rain and a little bit of wind gusts, the usual stuff that the Eastern Region gives. In the LV 100yd stage it was WWCCA’s Tim Bassham 1st with a .1852, 2nd was our own Eastern Regional director, Jack Neary with a .1880 and 3rd, was Ken Hottenstein with a .1936.

That was the first 3 of 21 in the

teens. 4th was WWCCA’s Melvin Newransky with a fine .2006 and 5th was, all the way from Ohio Pat Metcalf with a .2082. Small group was a .079 shot by Tim. This will give you an idea how close the competition was.

In the HV 100yd stage on Saturday afternoon, still raining, there were 5 in the teens, Chuck Green with a .1552, 2nd was Canadian, Peter Smith at .1580, 3rd was another Canadian, this time one of the leading barrel makers, Rob

MacLennan with a .1814, 4th was Lacy Tilley at a .1928, and 5th was Melvin Newransky at .1946. Small Group went to Melvin Newranski, a very fine .045. It was about 3:30 when the rain finally stopped and it got hot.

This is the first time that we are 1 bench, 1 day and it seems to be working, of course this is my personal opinion. Before you had a different bench for each segment.

You changed benches 4 times, now you only change twice, once

on Friday night and the second on Saturday night. The other ranges have been using this system for years, less Super Shoot and the Nationals.

The Texas style BBQ was very well attended and 125 tickets were sold out like right now. A big round of applause goes to Don Abramowicz and his crew for this meal. Beef, corn, cold slaw, dessert and all you could eat was available, what a feast! I think that only 1 or 2 of the shooters did not attend. The beef was done perfectly and I got in to a discussion with a certain individual about the difference between Texas BBQ and Michigan BBQ. Needless to say a good time was had by all, and I am positive that only soft drinks were available, at least I think that the way it went.

In the 200yd HV stage on Sunday morning Peter Smith was 1st with a .1970 agg, 2nd was Chuck Green at .2273, 3rd was another Canadian, Dave Abbott .2335, 4th was Tim Bassham at .2358, and 5th was Bill Gammon at .2407, now you know why I went the top five, EH! So the HV grand agg looked like this, 1st was Peter Smith .1775, 2nd was Chuck Green .1913, 3rd Tim Bassham .2202, 4th Rob MacLennan .2278 and 5th Jack Neary with a .2418 At the 200yd LV stage, and it was hot, Tim was very much alive with a .1525 for 1st, 2nd Jack Neary with a .1971, 3rd was Ken Hottenstein at .2014, 4th was Bill Gammon .2031 and 5th was Melvin Newransky .2352. Which the HV grand came out like this, 1st Tim Bassham .1689, 2nd Jack Neary .1926, 3rd Ken Hottenstein at .1980, 4th was Melvin Newransky .2179, and 5th was Pat Metcalf at .2388.

The 2 Gun looked like this, Tim Bassham .1945, 2nd Peter Smith .2158, 3rd Jack Neary .2175, 4th Chuck Green .2216, 5th Ken Hottenstein .2289, and Melvin Ne-

wransky 6th at .2321, 7th Ted Heindselman .2450, 8th Lacy Tilley .2467, 9th Rob MacLennan .2529 and 10th, Pat Metcalf .2543.

To say a good time was had by all would be an understatement.

Thanks to Dana Raven for travelling 3 hrs. from his home to Western Wayne County Conservation Association to put this match on.

To Connie and Fay for the office, another 3 hrs. To the new target crew for being flawless in their ability’s, to Dominic Grunas for his

25

input, and to Tim Bassham for his running the Score Section of WWCCA. On a personal level it was good to see Tim win a 2 Gun, because we all know the first one comes any time after that it takes a while.

This was Tim’s first and by the way he is shooting, not his last. Just to give you an idea, Tim won 6 of the total of 20 matches. Good shooting Tim! (And that $20.00 US will go a long way, EH!)

Central Utah Bench Rest Springville, Utah Jimmy King Wins Two Gun Dana Andrus Takes Three & Four Gun

August 6-7, 2016 Well, the weather partially cooperated and we didn’t have any afternoon monsoons interrupt our tournament this weekend. It was pretty much warm days and light to moderate blustery canyon winds that made for challenging conditions. Partly cloudy skies during the weekend did moderate the mirage to a tolerable level. All things considered, it was a truly beautiful weekend to be in the mountains and Hobble Creek Canyon.

Tom Stiner shot the only screamer group, a nice .066 Saturday morning in the Light Varmint 100, which is also a new range record. Once again however, there were no teen aggs shots at either tournament this year. The Springville range only gives them up begrudgingly.

First-time competitor Mark Roddom started the Light Varmint 100

Saturday morning with a nice .165 group. Norm Cox, shooting steady all morning, overtook Jimmy King in the final relay for first place with a .2536 agg. Jimmy King took second place with a .2702 agg. Mark Roddom’s .2708 for third place was a scant .0006 behind Jimmy’s second place finish. Nice shooting for a first tournament, Mark.

After enjoying a pizza lunch break, Tom Stiner begins the Heavy Varmint 100 by winning match one with a .148 which was also small group for the yardage. Tom’s wins the Heavy Varmint 100 with a .2582 agg. Dana Andrus comes in second with a .2618 agg followed by Scott Smith in third place with a .2726 agg.

Dan Dowling found his groove Sunday morning in the Heavy Varmint 200 stage. Dan finished by winning match 5 with a small group .344 to take the yardage with a .2541 agg. Right behind Dan was John Verhagen who shot the small group for the yardage, a nice .278 to take second place with a .2581 agg. Dana Andrus, always hanging

tough, comes in third with a .2757 agg. Dana Andrus wins the Heavy Varmint Grand with a .2688 agg.

Dan Dowling takes second place with a .2794 agg and Justin Young third place with a .2910 agg.

Sunday afternoon Light Varmint 200 starts with Jimmy King shooting the small group in Match 1 and for the yardage, a .309, on his way to winning the yardage with a .2683 agg. Dean Parker is second with a .3175 agg and Dallan Andrus is third with a .3497 agg. The Light Varmint Grand Champion was Jimmy King with a .2693 agg. Tom Stiner was second in the Grand with a .3243 agg and Todd Jensen was third with a .3305 agg.

As the weekend competition for twenty-two competitors came to a close, Jimmy King won the Light Varmint & Heavy Varmint Championship with a .2956 Two Gun Agg. Justin Young was second with a .3171 and Dan Dowling was third with a .2801 agg.

Dana Andrus was the Three Gun and Four Gun Utah State Champion. Congratulations Dana for an

South Dakota State and Prairie Dog Shoot

July 2-3, 2016 On Saturday July 2nd seventeen shooters were present for the Prairie Dog 100-200-300 HV Prairie Dog Shoot at the Prairie Dog Target Club. The weather was cool all weekend; cloudy on Saturday and foggy early on Sunday.

Saturday’s winds were from the south to southeast all day. Jeff Anderson took command of the 100 yard HV by shooting the small group on 4 of the 5 targets to win with an impressive 0.1604 agg.

Bill Pond was second and Brandon McNairy third. Small group at 100 yards was Jeff Anderson’s 0.128.

At 200 yards Joel Nader took first by a wide margin with Mel Klasi in second and Bill Pond in third. Small group at 200 yards was a 0.292 shot

by Mark Schwab. At 300 yards Dan Dowling snuck out of the woodwork on the last target to win the 300 yard HV with a 0.3921 agg. Mel Klasi was second and Terry Hettich was third. The small group at 300

yards was a 0.719 by JD Goulett.

Joel Nader won the coveted Prairie Dog trophy with a 0.3338 agg for the 100-200-300 yard Prairie Dog Shoot. Jeff Anderson was second and Mel Klasi third. The single shot for the 5 dollar gold piece on the last 300 yard target saw Janet Goulett hit closest to the prairie dog’s ear.

Sunday, July 3 we shot 100 yard and 200 yard South Dakota State LV which was the 3rd leg of the 4 gun. The winds were again southerly. Jeff Anderson took first at 100 yards with a 0.2378 agg continuing his dominance at that yardage.

However, this time he didn’t have small group on any of the 5 targets. Terry Hettich was second and Rod Brown third. The small group at 100 yards was a 0.108 by Rod Brown. Joel Nader won the LV 200 with a 0.2846 agg with Terry Hettich second and Rod Brown third.

Small group at 200 yards was a 0.367 shot by Joel Nader. The LV grand agg winner was Terry Hettich with a 0.2762 agg followed by Rod Brown and Jeff Anderson.

The Two Gun for this weekend consists of the 100-200-300 yard HV and the 100-200 yard LV and was won by Terry Hettich who narrowly edged out Joel Nader with Jeff Anderson taking third.

Dick Davis Has Left the Range

The shooting industries longtime friend to all, an idea man, an adventurer, a very smart man, a serious firearms enthusiast, professional, true gentlemen, and very strong second amendment supporter, Dick Davis has left the range. He passed late in the evening of September 12th, 2016 in Phoenix, Arizona shortly after speaking to son Duncan (of McMillan Machine) on the telephone. He was 71. A man of honesty, integrity, resourcefulness, and a serious passion for shooting, Dick Davis will leave a large void in the firearms industry that may be impossible to fill. Anyone who has been in the firearms industry for any length of time likely knew Dick Davis and called him a friend.

If they knew him, they only spoke well of him.

It is impossible to say the name Dick Davis without attaching “of McMillan’s” to it, but there is a lot more to Dick Davis than that. He was a proud graduate of Brigham Young University with a degree in Geology and after college he worked for U.S. Steel. After moving to Phoenix, he worked at Building Products Company making red clay water pipes before moving into the firearms business working at Earl’s Sporting Goods. He then moved on to manage the sporting goods company, Gunsport Centers and their three stores, also in Phoenix. Along the way, he tried his hand at building car washes before joining McMillan Fiberglass Stocks. The late Gale McMillan acknowledged that he made a very wise decision hiring Dick so long ago. We all know that Dick was a fixture at McMillan Fiberglass Stocks for 30 + years. He was always there helping someone.

Dick truly loved shooting. He and son Duncan would travel 250 miles round-trip together to the Tucson, AZ. NBRSA 1,000 yard monthly match. Proudly, Dick even set an

NBRSA world record in 1000 yard benchrest competition during his time competing. The rifles, the ammunition, the optics, the bullet’s performance, the wind, inside or outside neck turning, what was the perfect stock and more were common topics with Dick.

He talked to everyone; he listened to everyone; he learned from everyone and then he always shared his knowledge freely and openly. He joined other shooters in the Chevy Team Challenge, he shot trap and skeet, shot at some FCSA matches, enjoyed shooting machine guns, and basically anything that had a decent trigger and went boom! He helped John Lazzeroni of Lazzeroni Arms bring Sako’s fine rifles to the Lazzeroni line. This was something he was also very proud of. Every shooter that called McMillan’s and spoke to Dick, saw him at a show, or saw him at a shooting match who had a question, needed help, or just wanted to talk firearms and shooting, had a friend with Dick Davis.

Years ago, Dick was determined to help shooting by improving the concrete shooting benches so he convinced a fiberglass fabricator to build him a strong mold to form quality a concrete bench top. It is a great design and many have since used it all across the United States.

With his dedication to accurate shooting and helping shooters Dick loaned, at 100% NO CHARGE, his quality mold to any one that needed a good bench top. Dick even had a special metal frame made for the bench top interior too. He had a special shipping crate made and had it ready to go at a moment’s notice to a needy person, team, or range.

Dick leaves behind countless friends and good memories all across America and the world. He leaves his two sons, Duncan and Tom, and daughter Jana He sadly leaves you and me also. Each one

of us has a Dick Davis story that makes us smile. Upon his passing, Dick requested to be returned to his roots in Panguitch, Utah and son Duncan has vowed to do it.

Taken too soon, Dick is truly a loss to us all; to his family, his friends, his fellow shooters, fellow workers, to the firearms world in general, and to me. I am proud to say Dick was my friend and I was his.

He was always glad to see or speak with me which, looking back, was not often enough. Even if I had just talked with him an hour earlier, he was pleased to hear from me again. We will all remember his laugh, his polite manner, positive attitude, vast firearms knowledge, a few of his wild ideas, and endless desire to help everyone. All of us who were fortunate to know him already miss him a great deal.

Share a Dick Davis story with your friends and know he is listening and smiling; thinking of a way to help.

Thank you to the Davis family for allowing me to write this tribute.

“ G R OU P T H E R A P Y” TM© Mission Statement

It is my pleasure to announce a great new feature we are adding to our web site. The page is called “GROUP THERAPY”©. This page is a way of sharing data with other shooters worldwide. The idea is that there is a wealth of information out there, that needs to be shared. Candid information, that is free of any cost or obligation. Simply put we will post the data that you send us along with the group you fired with a particular firearm. Varmint hunters, Big Game hunters, Target shooters, Reloaders....everyone is welcome. Groups and data will be categorized by caliber. There will also be a page for the category for rifles and a page for the category for pistols. And additional information for the scope, the brass, the bullet , etc. We want as much information as you can provide, so that your contemporaries may benefit from your experience. But any information you provide is strictly voluntary.

Send us your best group and data along with a picture of the group you shot. We don’t care if the group is a 3, or 4 or 5 shot group. If it’s the best that firearm will do with that load and bullet we want to share it with other shooters world wide. Think of it as a “face book” for shooters. We will be able to share information on equipment , bullets , scopes, firearms etc, with shooters anywhere on the globe.

Also we want a page of business’s that are friendly to the shooting sports, and a page for those who we want to avoid. We need to make others in our sport aware of those business’s that are for us and those who are not.

We are not recommending any of the loading data ....so proceed with utmost caution. Be sure that any data you supply is accurate factual information. The responsibility is yours ! We are not recommending use of any of the data for any of the components. The information is simply for your reference and evaluation. Always check out data with several sources of factory reloading information.

Simply fill out the forms and submit them to us with a copy of the fired group. We will the post them on our web site.

Please remember any information you provide is strictly voluntary.
