John Holliger's 10 year old Son winning his first Palma Match. He shot 800-900-1000 yards with a rifle that he was not familiar with. How about 95deg. He was high Junior.
Ben is a very fine young man and John should be very proud of him other than his shooting ability. Ben wore out the metal spinning targets with his single 6 revolver while I couldn't hit them all with a 22RF rifle when we went hunting earlier this year.

Good news, Butch. Let us know when he beats the grownups.

I need to add this: from a fellow shooter.

And Ben shot that Palma stage last Monday AFTER he’d shot both Saturday’s Team match AND Sunday’s 100-round Regional course as a Service Rifle Marksman scoring 407.4 & 898.9 under 90+F conditions. He’s a welcome addition to the ranks of up & comers for cert!

Going to be a force.
