NCOWS “5th Saturday” MEMORIAL MATCH REPORT

The Annual CAPT JEB FORREST MEMORIAL MATCH was held on Saturday, June 29, 2024. Eight (8) shooters, including Capt. Jeb’s grandson, who shot his first full match in the Junior Lawman (3-gun) Category, participated in an abbreviated match, and we also had 2 spectators, one of whom was Miss Jennell, Capt. Jeb’s widow, join us. A lovely picnic lunch, which also gained the attention of scores of curious fire ants, followed the match, and everyone, excepting the ants, seemed to leave the event with full bellies and fond memories.

There was only 1 clean shooter for the match, Sgt. Henry, who, when factoring in his clean bonus stage, finished the match with a lightning quick adjusted score of 61.04. Congrats Sarge!
