LVSA RIFLE SILHOUETTE APRIL 19, 2015
The morning started with heavy overcast and a cool 37 degrees. At noon time the sun broke thru and
temps reached 51 before the clouds rolled back in. The mirage often didn’t agree with the wind flags
and winds remained light. Each rifle division fired a 40 shot match with 10 at each of the 4 distances.
The 5 adult shooters got the season started with the standard small bore match. Ron Kamp, Daniel
proved he hadn’t lost the trigger control since his last match a year ago and posted a 28 to take the
match win. Roger Sebesta’s 24 took AAA. Anthony Fuller, Wheatland put 22 targets into the dirt to win
AA. While Tony Cross, Lander toppled 19 for the A win.
Next up was the hunting small bore rifle. After the 40 shots Kamp and Sebesta tied at 25 and returned
for a sudden death shoot-off on the turkeys standing 77 meters away. Sebesta prevailed giving him the
match win and Kamp the 1st Master award. Lindle Offenbacker, AmFalls, ID returned to shoot silhouette
after an 11 year lay-off and won AAA. Fuller posted another 22 to lead the AA class. Cross downed 19
for the A win.
After a short lunch break the hunter high power rifles took the line. Again Kamp prevailed with a 28 for
the match win. Offenbacker won AAA. Kamp fires a 260 Rem and Offenbacker a 7-08 Rem.
The last rifles to take the line were the standard high power. Kamp’s 6.5 Bobcat toppled 28 for another
match win. Sebesta managed a 15 with a 7-08 for top AA score.
The May 17th event will start with high power rifles with the small bore following. All safe shooters are
welcome. A full program is posted on lvas.info or from rjsebesta@yahoo.com.
