The Crossfire Award was well traveled going to Fred Scharpenberg then Jim Miller, and finally to Don Learner.
Jim Miller claims a Black hawk first in that he is the only person to have win the Crossfire Award and be awarded a silver dollar for a 200-20X at the same event.
The Black Hawks wish to thank the River Bend Club and Tom Steadman and his hard working band of helpers.
