Long Gong Series #6

Great way to end the Series! Coming through again for the 3rd time this season was Scott Bowen and his reliable MPA! The scores were higher on average for this finale, with everyone giving their best. Weather was perfect, with the exception of the wind, that never stops! (Until after the match)

Thanks to Arken Optics for the gift certificates, they were an awesome prize to hand out every match!

Also a huge shout out to Kinport Peak Firearms and their sponsorship of the series. See you all next year!

Long Gong Series #5

The Series is has almost ran its course, as the 2nd to last match is in the books. Wind was our enemy once again, forcing our best shooters to struggle. Although not at bad as last month, the wind wasn’t going to be tamed! When the match was over, we had another new face atop the podium! Congratulations!

With 20 Shooters braving the worst wind to date, we had a great time! Unbelievably, Travis Garrett won with a 44, seemingly impossible with the wind we were shooting with!

Long Gong Series #2

Another great turnout! Word is getting out that this LONG GONG thing is pretty fun! We had 20 shooters come out and throw lead, even though it looked like a big storm was going to wipe us out! Luckily the storm passed and we had one of the least windy matches we have had for a while. The luck was with Scott Bowen, who won the match for the second time in a row— this time shooting a 64, with a new club record string score of 23!

Also, a huge thank you to Arken Optics and Kimport Peak Rifles for the Gift Certificates!

Long Gong Series #1

WOW! We had the largest turnout ever for a LONG GONG match to date, with 23 shooters attempting to shoot through the windiest match we have ever had. The wind was so shifty, we even had a wind flag shot in half!!

When it was all said and done, newcomer Scott Bowen with his Marine Red MPA rifle got it done with a score of 33 and a tie breaking string of 11 (One of only 3 double digit scores all day.) Another newcomer David Phillips also shot a 33 and lost the tie breaker to end up 2nd. Both went home with cash money.! Congratulations!
