Successful 1911 Shoot

We would like to thank all of the people who came out to shoot in the Centennial 1911 Match, along with all of the volunteers and other workers who made it possible. A special thanks to Mick Reynolds for all of the time that he spent designing the stages and those who were able to set up the stages behind the scenes. All of these things worked together in order to make things run smoothly. Above all, a big thanks to the Heartland Public Shooting Park for being the venue for the event, and we couldn't have done it without all the sponsors.

Despite the scorching temperatures, twenty eight shooters took part in the match, and it was a good mixture of challenging and typical courses, all with a military theme (in honor of the history of the venerable 1911). I am sure a lot of people were surprised by the unique movement and the movable platform that they faced (and who thought they would have to hit a target with softballs in a shooting match?).

Although we consider everyone who took part in the event to be a winner, we would like to issue a special congratulations to the top five shooters in the match:
  1. Jeremy Millard: 686.3363 points
  2. Jeff Reisland: 663.5419 points
  3. Neil Davies: 640.4427 points
  4. Chris Walbrecht: 495.8203 points
  5. Ryan Dammon: 447.1462 points
We look forward to holding another 1911 match in the future, and we invite you to visit us at the park again.
