Here is the 2016 Predator Masters Egg Shoot Story. First off was the safety briefing to go over the range rules as well as the egg shoot rules.



The eggs look real small at 150 yards. If you look you can see the rack just right of center.



We started with 18 shooters listed below with the caliber they were shooting. In the first round everyone in the group is shooting at the same time. They get 5 minutes to shoot 5 shots. It should also be mentioned that if an egg breaks regardless of who shoots it, the owner of the egg gets credit for a hit. In the first round it went.

1st Group
Paul McDonald – Pack_Wolf – 223
Tom Austin – Predator Strikeforce – 22-243
Jeremy Abeta – Jabey9210 – 223
Kim Carver – Firecracker – 22-250 AI
Erich Bretschneider – AWS – Caliber ??


2nd Group
Marco Ricotta – Marchino - 204
David Painter – Desert Dave – 22-250
Wade Lyman – Wklman – 20 Practical
John Pawlak – Who Cares – 20 Tactical
Robert Bollinger – Rbollinger10 – 6.5 Creedmoor



3rd Group - In this group the stand was hit knocking 4 of the 5 eggs off so 4 of the people advanced to the next round. In a show of good sportsmanship though, the shooters that advanced tried to hit the remain egg with their remaining shots to advance the only shooter whose egg did not fall. Unfortunately they did not succeed.

Dustin Davis – Arizona Bushman – 204
Stacy Worden – Rebs Wife – 204

At the end of the first round it was narrowed down to the following 11 shooters. In the second round all shooters in a group shoot at the same time and are allowed 3 minutes to shoot 3 shots.

Robert Bollinger – Rbollinger10

2nd Group

Since only 2 people hit the egg, a shoot off for 3rd place was required by the others that had shot in the third round but not hit their egg. The same rules applied, one shot in seconds and only 1 shooter at a time shot.

Jeremy Abeta – Jabey9210
Robert Bollinger – Rbollinger10
Chris McFarland – Huntin 4
Jason Mosler – SnowmanMo
Carter Haack



There were no hits in the first round of shots. In the second round of shooting 3rd place had been decided with only one shooter hitting the egg.

3rd Place - Chris McFarland – Huntin 4


Now it was time for for the 2 that had hit their egg in the third round to have a shoot off for 1st and 2nd place. In this round they also got only one shot with 30 seconds to shoot it.



When it was done, the results were

1st Place - Erich Bretschneider – AWS
2nd Place - Chuck Cady – Kim204
3rd Place - Chris McFarland – Huntin 4





The first place winner received a very nice AR in 20 Practical built by our sponsor Ritch of Ritchs Precision Guns. Thanks Ritch!!

Great shooting to all the ladies and gentlemen that participated.

I believe that none of the top three shooters had never placed before in a previous egg shoot. We also had a lot of new shooters this year which was nice to see. It is a fun time for all that shoot and watch!!

Here are a few more pictures of the day at the range.
