National "Vice-Champion" - Benchrest 50

... at Carregueira, 1st Match 2011
With an accumulated score of 732 points, just one point bellow the first position, I finished last Sunday, October 2nd, 2011, the 5th match of the Portuguese Shooting Federation 2011 Nationals for Benchrest 50 and got my self the "silver" medal as "vice-champion" (runner-up) on the "Heavy Varmint" class - same position as on the 2010 Nationals. On the team scores, I finished first along with my fellow club members from CPTPP.

Final score sums the best 3 matches out of 5 - on a overall maximum of 750 points.

I competed with my "old trusty" German made J.G. Anschütz 1903, with a classic JGA BR50 stock, with Leupold Competition 45x, made in the USA, scope over Sportsmatck mounts, and using German made Lapua Center-X 40 grains .22 LR ammo. The rest is a ADJ 3 by Varide Cicognani (made in Italy).

This was the most disputed BR50 Nationals to date - with everything "opened" right to the last shot - and with a overall increase on all shooters scores. Portugal goes up on the sport!





5th Match, Jamor, 245 points with 12 X
