Shooters...
Even with a hurricane, it was another great weekend at Scarborough Fish & Game. That was a first for us to have a hurricane in the middle of a four-day shoot and still have bigger turn out than last year. Sunday was incredibly busy (to make up for the lost Saturday), and we want to thank everyone that came out to shoot, giving us a record turnout for the old Zone One Championship.
ALL STAR SHOOT OFF
NEW ENGLAND SUPER SPORTING CHAMPIONSHIP
As you heard, we are moving the All Star Shoot Off to the New England Super Sporting Championship in October. The new Shoot Off date is October 7. What you may not have heard is we are expanding the shoot and have some exciting new events planned. Information will be out soon. Hint…don't put away your sub-gauge guns just yet.
PUBLIC SPORTING CLAYS
As always, the Main event and the Partridge Tune Up targets will be open this Wednesday from 10am-5pm and next Sunday from 10am-2pm. Come on back and try them all again. Also, we have plenty of ammo available if you need shells to figure out some of those big targets on the main!

100 TARGET EVENT RESULTS
We had three, 100 target events to warm up on. The 20 gauge, 100 target event is always fun. Earle Glidden took HOA with a 98 - great shooting Earle. Kim Noyes was RU with a 95. The 100 target Super Sporting was won by David England with a 97. Runner Up was Michael Burton with a 95. Congratulations to both! The Partridge Tune-Up Prelim was friendly but technical. Dan Warner took HOA with a 96. He was followed closely by John Carbone with a 95 for RU. Congratulation to both! And special Prelim shout out to Heidi Lessard for winning Lady CH with an 80...great shooting Heidi and great consistency all weekend!
old ZONE ONE CHAMPIONSHIP RESULTS
This year's Old Zone One Championship was one of the hardest that we have seen at Scarborough. And they also had some of the longest distance thrown at Scarborough. These were targets you would see at a Regional Championship. It is only a few times a year we get to see true tournament style targets, and this was one of those times. But, believe it or not, as hard as it felt, it was won by only one target less than last year's score.
First, we want to congratulate this year's old Zone Championship concurrent winners:
LADY: Kim Noyes
SUB JR: Colton Copp
VET: Micah Parker
SV: Mark Schreyer
SSV: Gary Mason
LG: Henry Ellis
Congratulations to all of this year's class winners:
Hunter: Rick Savage
E class: Tammy Newell
D class: Joe Bonner
C class: Richard Seifert
B class: Edward Archambeault
A class: Tony Marino
AA class: Micah Parker
M class: Michael Keene
Now for the old Zone One Champion:
This years runner up is Sam Foulds with a 83.
The 2023 old Zone One Champion is...
Earle Glidden with a stellar 88.
Congratulations Earle and Sam, great shooting by both of you!
THANK YOU
And finally, the important part, Thank You. Thank you to Greg & Sharon Berry and Leisha Nadeau for all that great food and hospitality. Thank you to Lisa and Bill for registration and scoring all those events. Thank you to all of our volunteers that put in weeks of work to get this shoot ready and run so smooth: Jim, Randy, Tom, Bernie, Steve, Pam, Ron. Thanks to Randy, Andy, John & Chuck for all the help running the course this weekend. I'm sure I have missed some people. Thanks to guest target setters and designers Bernie Raimo and Chuck Willey who came up with those challenging targets.
Well, the OLD Zone One Championship is a wrap. Can't wait to see you all, again, at the New England Super Sporting Championship (October 6-8).
Kim
