The St. Joe Valley Rifle & Pistol Assn. would like to thank all the competitors who fired in this year’s Conventional 3200 Registered Prone match. Most of you also fired in the recently concluded National Metric Prone Championships which were also fired on the Wa-ka-de range. Mark Del Cotto is our winner which included a very fine 1600-132 on the first day. Second place was won by Joe Farmer and First Master is Rick Curtis, First Expert is Dan Stone, and First Sharpshooter is Bob (Baker) Del Cotto. We had four of our Juniors competing in their very first match on Thursday. All four spent some time with their coach on Wednesday night getting their sight setting right for 100 yards. I believe that all of them broke 80 on at least one bull at 100 yards. One of our local shooters from Fort Wayne. Jim Crawford, was shooting his first match as a Master after attaining that rank recently at the age of 77. I hope that all of you have gone on to the National Matches at Camp Perry and improved on your scores from Bristol. The fourth edition of this match will be held on Thursday and Friday again just before the prone phase at Camp Perry next year. The way the NRA folks are talking, the National Metric Prone Championships will run on Monday and Tuesday next year. And then there will be a one day break before this match. And a big Thank You to Roger Crawford who was our line safety officer, and target handler. Thanks for coming and I hope we will see you all next year. —Haven J. Williams, Match Director
