from Rick Curtis
What a splendid day we had for the Roadrunner at the Phoenix Rod and Gun Club. Twenty-five shooters and perfect weather made for some good close competition up and down the line. In F Class John Andres, Jim Murphy and Bill Berta mixed it up all day to finish within three points of each other. Tomorrow we flip the range on those guys and let them have it out at the big end of the firing line. In the combined Marksman Sharpshooter class Rob Nabower whipped his fellow classmen like rented mules and has a double digit lead going into day two. In the Expert class Phil Brackenbury came out of the gate smoking hot as his 400 in the Dewar Match was one of only two fired in the match. Oliver Milanovic kicked it up a notch at 100 and then never looked back as he stomped a mudhole in Phils derrier at 50 Meters. The two men have the closest match of all going into tomorrow with Oliver leading by a point but light on X’s. In the Master Class Nancy Tompkins, Rick Curtis and Peter Church see-sawed back and forth all day with Nancy finishing atop the leaderboard by two over Curtis and five over Church. Should be interesting tomorrow when the scopes go on.
