This was a 60 target match and the scoring was done in a different manner: shooters were compelled to knock down each target with every shot added to your score with a maximum of 4 points per target. When the match was over, the individual shooting the least number of shots was declared the winner. The results had very little effect on the standings from the conventional scoring method but did allow the individual that missed to get in a few extra shots and attempt to figure out why they had missed. The idea came from the Biathlon in the Olympics where cross country skiing and shooting small bore rifles are combined, the difference being that they run against the clock and we counted shots.

Our final assessment indicates that this was a very difficult match with a number of the targets practically straight down or very high on the bank across the gully. A very different set-up for the flat-landers from Wisconsin, however, they did show their expertise by wiping out the Minnesota contingency. There were a number of very long shots that tested the range finding ability of each individual's scope.

The weather was ideal and the food was good, what more can you ask for on a Saturday in May. We thank the contestants that drove up from Wisconsin and the support we received from our MAFTA club in Minnesota.
