Illinois State SASS Championship 2011 Results & Scores

Don Jorge, our very own match director, triumphed as the Illinois State Champion at the 2011 Illinois SASS Championship with 10 clean stages.

He also won the first ever Illinois SASS Wild Bunch Championship in  which he shot 5 clean stages in the pouring rain. Clearly, all of the practice that the Long Nine Cowboys have had with wet & rainy weather the last couple of years has finally paid off…

The State Championship was held on May 18 – May 22, 2011, with 187 shooters at the World Shooting Complex outside Sparta, Illinois. The Long Nine Cowboys were were well represented with 19 shooters who are either members of our club or shoot with us regularly at monthly matches.

Two of the organizers were our own Boben Weev and Miss Weev along with the host club, the Kaskaskia Cowboys.   The stages were fun and challenging, with plenty of movement and action.  Scroll down to see how our club shooters did!
