Steve Hardin Repeats As Smallbore Metric Match Winner
Steve Hardin made it two for two in 2010 on Saturday, June 19 winning his second consecutive smallbore prone metric 1600 of the 2010 smallbore rifle prone season at River Bend Gun Club in Dawsonville, GA. Steve fired a 1551-57 and made it look fairly easy but he had a little help from his friends as his Winchester 52 match rifle’s trigger failed during the first stage of match 1 and Steve used two different borrowed rifles to complete the match .
Dennis Lindenbaum posted a score of 1547-55 to win second overall and take home the silver medal. Mike Rossi won the Expert class with a score of 1544-62, just one “center shot” better than Val Valentavicius’s 1544-61. Staff Sergeant Emil Kovan, Ft. Benning, GA, also fired a 1544 with 49 center shots to win the Sharpshooter class. Mark Skutle, 1515-40, nipped Mike Upchurch, 1514-43 to take the Marksman class gold medal. Tommy Steadman, 1537-49, was high senior.
