Dean Scoggin Memorial match

[Don McDowell]

50 shooters ventured to the Alliance Rifle Club's Hoffland range for the "Dean" match. Course of fire was 1 sighter and 12 shots at each of 3 targets at 1000 yards. Those targets were a 48 " circle and 6 ft. square, and a 5 ft. octagon. The Hofflands famous mirage in infamous subtle wind changes, and lying wind flags made for some frustration on some relays. Day two was 8 shots no sighters at each of the 3 targets. Tough way to shoot 1000 yards to be sure.
All in all it was a great match the covered firing line was divided into 3 groups, 1 group for every 2 bays. 3 relays of 8 shooters on the line. The nice part was you choose which group you wanted to shoot in, and then except for moving your gear on and off the line, there was no moving from one target to the next.
Mr. Jim Bourne is planning to make this an annual event.
