Hi All,
            Well the Pro-Cal Challenge has been run and won for 2019.

Saturday was a bit of a tough day, with the wind switching from left to right and from 6 o'clock making it difficult to get a group down in the same conditions.

Bob Wright from won Centrefire outright with his Light Gun, scoring 257.03, Grant Groves took out second overall with his Heavy Gun scoring 254.04 and Ken Perrin took out third overall with his Light Gun scoring 253.01.

In Light Gun it was Bob Wright first with 257.03, Ken Perrin second with 253.01 and Les Fraser third with 242.01, the small group for Light Gun was shot by Grant Groves with a 1.538" group which was also the Highest Scoring Target with a 56.

In Heavy Gun it was Grant Groves first with 254.04, Ben Ferrarra second with a 251.07 and Matt Riches third with 245.01, Small Group and High Scoring Target went to Ben Ferrarra with a 1.110" group and a 59.04, an impressive target to be sure which was also a new range record for Heavy Gun score on McKinley range.

Sunday was more of the same as Saturday for Rimfire, and at one point my 7 flags were alternately facing left, then right, then left all the way to the target, I really struggled with the conditions but Dave Dundas didn't!

Rimfire was won by David Dundas with a 261.03, second went to Les Fraser with 258.04 and third went to Matt Riches with 243.03. Steve Ball took out Highest Scoring Target with a 59.02 and Matt Riches shot a .9045" group to take out small group, this is also a pending National Record.

The Two Gun Centrefire and Rimfire was taken out by Les Fraser with 500.05, Matt Riches second with 488.04 and Ken Perrin third with 459.03.

Winner of the Three Gun was Matt Riches with 722.07 followed by Les Fraser in second with 685.07 and third was Ken Perrin with 675.04.

The Nightforce Lightweight Competition 42x44 scope was drawn from the competitors who shot both days and the lucky winner was Andy Santa, thanks to Nightforce for providing such a fantastic prize!

Cheers.
