Dustin slipped by with a 39 leaving a pig standing solo. Those are some unreal sporter scores!

Full results and Pictures up!

A huge thanks to all who came who made this possible for us. It's been a huge effort and it went great. I hope all who were there enjoyed it and will continue to come year after year.

Mike Turner over at http://www.benchreststocks.com crafted these beautiful trophies for the aggregate places. A definite thank you is in order for him as well!

That was the most interesting and one of the most enjoyable matches I have ever attended! It's hard to believe that this is the first time this group has hosted a championship match - I'd have sworn they've been doing it for years.

Thank you guys so much for doing this for us! The facility is unbelievable and the match was incredibly smooth and easy-going. The food was great and the State Park cabin was awesome too. I can't imagine a better way to start the 2015 shooting season. Can't wait to shoot this match again next year and help it grow. This match, along with the nationals in March, is exactly what air rifle silhouette needs!

Great job Team Hatch! Thank you! And thanks to the shooters that attended!

What no ladies to kick Dustin's ass? We need to pass out IBDF shirts at this match.

What? Why try to put off on the ladies what one has the same opportunity to accomplish? after all, I see that your are a member of the IBDF Society, but we do not recall see you there. We encourage you to attend our 2016 event. In the event that anyone does beat Dustin overall, we will award T-shirts to any and all, at our expense.

By the way, what is SNOSS?

There are many Thanks to the friends that talked to us about hosting an event at our place. If I tried to list them I fear that I would miss somebody, you know who you are. We received the needed encouragement, guidance, and the much needed confidence, to host this event. After all, it was a chicken house. At times I felt like I was being a pest to Dustin and Bruce. While we have been involved in silhouette for about 4 years, none of Team Hatch had shot in a air rifle event. I now have another addiction. I feel that having this event on Superbowl weekend did affect attendance, we would welcome feedback concerning that, we are seriously considering doing this the weekend following the Superbowl in 2016. We very much Thank each and every person that attended, as a Shooter or spectator. I have been very careful looking at the scores relative to Indoor Air Rifle Silhouette National Records. I do hope that I haven't missed any. We will be submitting to the NRA a total of 21 National Records that were either broken or set at our tournament. These records involved six shooters. They are, Dustin Flint, Chris Cawthorne, Jerry Tureau, Bill Motl, Jonah Finley, and not to be forgotten, Gary Jones, better known at Gabby. I have yet to figure out how he managed to obtain such a nickname. A explanation would be much appreciated. As a wonderful weekend was winding down Sunday, we were all talking about next year. There will be many opportunities for more records to be set or broken, and of course, membership into the IBDF Society, if any dare to try. Again, a very heartfelt Thank You, Danny Hatch.

Danny,
First SNOSS is Southern Nationals Orange Shirt Society, for those of us that have earned one we know what it is.
Secondly, I would love to attend but being unemployed for 22 months to extremely underemployed for the last 5 weeks has slowed my travel considerably. Trust me once I gain employment again to some form of existence I will travel again. Thank you for the personal invite and I'm sure it was a great match. I look forward to shooting soon.
