The 2010 New Hampshire Junior Invitational International Shooting Championship was held at the Hudson, NH F&G Club on Sunday, 12/05. This is the fourth year of the marathon event in which the top eight smallbore and air rifle shooters from New Hampshire vie for the Invitational title. Several matches from 2010 are used to rank potential Invitational invitees, including NRA sectional scores, JORCs, state championship matches and more.
A “marathon” is not an understatement. The Invitational includes all three USA Shooting rifle events and is fired straight through in one relay beginning at 9 AM and not ending until about 5 PM.
Start with 60 shots prone. Then using the first 40 shots from prone, add 40 shots standing and 40 shots kneeling. But wait there’s more! Changeover to air rifle and fire 60 shots international. Then an air rifle final. A total of 210 shots in the match.
At the end of the day a clear Champion is evident. Congratulations goes out to Megan Polonsky as the 2010 NH Junior Invitational Champion earning the Match Gold Medal. In second place earning Match Silver is Brian Jylkka. Earning the Bronze Medal is Joe Bogar.
Congratulations to the three medalists and a great day of shooting from everyone.
