Nicholle Benedict wins the R. K. Moore 100 Shot Standing Match

On April 6, 2014, thirteen junior and not so junior shooters took to the range to compete in the annual R. K. Moore 100 Shot Standing Match at the Frazier Simplex Rifle Club. Competitors had as much time as they wanted to shoot 10 targets, 10 shots each.

Junior shooter Nicholle Benedict took overall first place, followed by her father, Tom Benedict placing second and Morgan Duerr taking third.

The Standings

1st place	Nicholle Benedict (Jr)
2nd place	Tom Benedict (Sr)
3rd place & High Junior	Morgan Duerr (Jr)
High Lady	Nicholle Benedict
High Senior	Jim Husk
High Target	Nicholle Benedict - tie broken on 10th bull (10.5 for Nicholle and 10.0 for Morgan Duerr, both shooting a 100 on a target)

If there was an iron man/woman contest based on the last target score (because that is a lot of shooting in the standing position) Nicholle would be crowned iron woman with a 99 on her last target.

In the King Match, a 10 shot unlimited re-entry match, Tom Benedict won with a 99 and Nicholle taking second with a 98 and Jim Husk taking third with a 97.

The Standings

1st place	Tom Benedict
2nd place	Nicholle Benedict
3rd place	Jim Husk
High Junior	Nicholle Benedict
High Lady	Nicholle Benedict

Congratulations to all that competed.

Junior Members attend Camp Perry this Summer and Win Big!

This past summer, six juniors marksmen, participated in the 2013 NRA National Matches at Camp Perry, Ohio. Three of them just came back from a National Air Rifle match in Alabama on Monday to start this competition on Wednesday.

In the 3-Position Metallic Sight Team Match, Nicolle Thiry and Nicholle Benedict (both of Frazier-Simplex) with Jack Anderson (Oil City) and Emilee Miller placed 3rd in the overall match with a combined score of 2332 and 104x's. In this same competition, Christopher Thomas and Kiboh Uchida (both of Frazier-Simplex) took a 1st place in the Intermediate Junior category with a 2296 and 89x's.

In the 3-Position Any Sight Team Match, Nicolle Thiry, Nicholle Benedict, Jack Anderson and Emilee Miller took 1st place in the Junior Team division with a combined score of 2318 and 82x's. In this same competition, Christopher Thomas and Kiboh Uchida took a 1st place in the Intermediate Junior category with a 2275 and 64x's.

During the National Matches, competitors also had the opportunity to shoot in some air pistol and rifle competitions. Thomas Welch (Frazier-Simplex) won $30.80 in the 30 Shot Air Rifle Center Shot Match (he was off the big money of $38 by the thickness of a hair). Ariana Grabowski (Frazier-Simplex) took 1st place overall women's division in the Air Rifle 60 Shot International Match (all standing) with a score of 584 and 36x's.

Congratulations to all the competitors on an outstanding summer of shooting. Next year, the small-bore competitions are scheduled to be in Indiana instead of Camp Perry.
