In this sport it is not about who wins. It is about those folks who participate in the sport which is run by volunteers. All of us dream of being "top gun" some day. Some of us will try hard and may never get there but it is still free to dream! When I go to a big match I dream of shooting as well as Jarred Perry but I doubt that will ever happen. Still, I keep trying and based on recent results, I have some local competition that will force me to get more serious. To see just how well some of the silhouette shooters can shoot, check out my Pe Ell post with results.
The Walter Mitty award is intended to have a little humor and recognize the shooters that come to the NH matches and although they may not be at the top of their class, they come and have fun anyway.Results are sorted as a percentage of hits to total attempted hits. You can read as much into these stats as you want. Keep in mind some competitors who are shooting 1/5th and some are shooting 1/2 with a scope which tends to make the results fuzzy at best. In other words, you really can't draw any meaningful conclusion from the results. Just having some fun and keeping it light!
