Kentucky Challenge Match Results

For most of you guys already know that we shoot a fun match at 100, 200 and 300 yards. Up till now we have only kept score by the smallest group size. This year we decided to do it a little different and we followed the words and wisdom from Richard who has been a long time competitive benchrest shooter. Richards idea was to keep score for smallest groups, and points scored on the target at each distance. This allows more opportunity for each competitor to get a good score. once all three distances were shot we would add up the total groups for a first place winner for smallest group average, then we added up the total score for a first place winner for the most points scored. Then we added these scores to come up with a Top Honors first place winner.

I am going to try to list all the names and the scores here for everyone to see. If you see a mistake in anything please let me know and I will correct it.
There is a lot of scores to write out so I will organize it the best I can and I hope everyone can understand it.
