JORC Prone Championship-Day Two

The preliminary matches of the 2016 Junior Olympic Rifle Championship 50 meter prone has ended for the six New England riflemen competing.

Tobin Sanctuary shot with amazing consistency over two days, a 614.6 and a 614.8, to come tantalizing close to a finals position. His aggregate of 1229.4 was just one point shy of the 1230.4 cutoff score and placed him 13th overall in the tournament.

Jared Desrosiers pick up a few points over day one, 606.3-612.9,to end up in 25th place with a 1221.2, ten points up on 38th place Eric Sloan who also picked up a few points and finished up at 1211.7.

Brandon Bryer also gained points on the second day to card a 1206.0 for 47th. Kyle Kutz, the youngest of the shooters from New England, shooting in his first JORC fell well below his first day score, a fine 610.7, and ended up in 58th place shooting an 1190.1. Marcus Mojica had two consistent days and totaled an 1175.1 over his 50 record shots to end up in 63rd place.

After a good night’s rest the yoking men will face the final day of competitions with a 3X40 match, witless the finals, and head home, vacating the facility for the New England ladies.
