Here is a link to some pics of the match.

There were only two relays, so not much time to shoot pics. Jay and Ted of the Avenal Gun Club did a great job of putting on the match, with the exception of the weather, it was 112 degrees on Saturday, with dust devils strong enough to move a gun case (empty) 20 feet.

Dennis Dadian was match winner, with a 72/80, which considering the conditions is incredible.

Yours truly managed to finish dead last in Standard class on Saturday, and I managed to take third place AA in Hunter class on Sunday. This was my first State Championship match, so I was really pleased.

Many thanks to my spotter, Rudy Montano, a great guy i met at the match.
