GA: State Smallbore Prone Champs, Aug 18-19

2012 Georgia State Smallbore Prone Championships

The Georgia smallbore championships will be held on August 18-19, 2012 at Riverbend Gun Club just north of metro Atlanta. A new format this year combines metric and conventional matches with metallic and anysight stages over the two days of competition. Day one will be metallic sights using the conventional targets for 50 Yard and Dewar matches then switching to the international metric targets for a Dewar and 100 meter match. Day two will be anysights using the conventional targets for 100 Yard and 50 Meter matches then switching once again to the international metric targets for a Reverse Dewar and 50 Meter match. Sounds confusing? A little perhaps, but should be fun if the correct targets are hung for each stage. This will yield two 1600’s, metallic and scope days, a state conventional prone champion and a state metric prone champion, and the Georgia state 2012 overall prone champion. The stat office will be kept busy, especially at the conclusion of firing on day two, and once all the hanging chads are examined by the following Tuesday, the class and overall winners will be crowned. RBGC is the home of some of the best competition and smallbore facilities anywhere and shooters of all levels are encouraged to attend.

About Dennis Lindenbaum

Dennis Lindenbaum began competitive shooting late in life starting with conventional pistol and then international 50 meter and air pistol events after a chance introduction to target firearms by a co-worker. The opportunity to lie on a mat while shooting, given his natural propensity for sloth, meant a switch to smallbore prone in 2008. A member of the Black Hawk Rifle Club and the 1600 club, he has been selected to the US Dewar Team. Dennis was a firing member of the 2010 National Championship Metallic Sight Prone Team. He assists with monthly smallbore match operations at River Bend Gun Club near his home in Marietta, Ga. Married, with two daughters, he earned a PhD from George Washington University and is a Clinical Neuropsychologist.
