championship targets. He recorded a 96×100 in doubles 199×200 in
singles and 95×100 in the handicap event.
Challenging him were three shooters knotted at 388×400 – Raymond
Stabinski (Poland, Ohio), Joe Strucker (Rochester, N.Y.) and Brian
Whalen (Jamestown, N.Y.)

first place in Class AA. Ken Kamnikar (Lorain, Ohio) and Stabinski
were one bird behind at 97×100.
Tom Herbstsommer (Honeoye Falls, N.Y.) had the only perfect
