ORPA’s
2018 ORPA STATE SMALLBORE Submitted by Russ Evans
Greg Drown, 3P Smallbore Champion
The ORPA has completed another successful
year in smallbore state championships. The Ohio
State Junior & Adult Indoor and Outdoor
Smallbore Championships were conducted at
the Fish and Game Club of Vienna on June 23 &
24, 2018. A total of 11 juniors & 2 adults
competed in 3P smallbore. Greg Drown claimed
this year’s adult 3P championship with a score of
1111-29X on the USA Shooting 50 foot target.
Michael Naylon was second with a score of
1074-22X/1200.
Adrianna Donegan was the Gold medal winner
for the Juniors with 1079-16X. Nick Fares was
Second Place Junior with 1057-15X and
Chelsea Hunter took Third with 1021-11X. The
match was intended to be an outdoor 3P but was
moved indoors due to storms that included
lightening, heavy wind and rain.
ORPA Smallbore conducted our outdoor
match June 24, 2018 at the Fish & Game Club
of Vienna. The Kreidler Prone Match was also
a NRA sanctioned Regional competition.
Twelve folks competed. The Ohio Prone Adult
Championship went to Kevin Nevius with
1598-135X and Second Place Adult was
Michael Naylon with 1596-108X. Junior
Champion and Third Place Match was
Adrianna Donegan with 1573-77X. Luke
Wagner placed Second Junior with 1570-68X
and Chelsea Hunter took Third Junior with
1596-69X.
As always, we continue to look for ways to
improve and expand shooting sports in Ohio. It
has been a pleasure to work with and for
Ohio’s smallbore shooters again this year.

16th Annual Ohio State Cowboy Action Championship Shoot
May 25-26-27, 2018
Your Ohio Rifle and Pistol Association (ORPA) was again a proud Match Sponsor at the 2018 Ohio Single
Action Shooting Society (SASS) State Championship, “Shootout at Hard Times”, at the Piqua Fish and Game
range. It was hosted by the Miami Valley Cowboys May 25-27, over the Memorial Day weekend. The match
was entitled “America the Beautiful”, and the event was dedicated to the memory of Bruce Kennett (A.K.A.
Buckshot Jones) who was so instrumental in establishing the Miami Valley Cowboys and the Hard Times
shooting range. He was among the many unsung heroes helping to make this country great. Semper Fi.
Mean Gun Mark and Boaz put on a stupendous match with over 165 competitors in attendance for this three
day event. It drew contestants from all over, from Maryland to Iowa and Canada. This year we saw younger
shooters…and they tended to dominate. Spud stole the show with his consistent speed, and watching him
shoot a stage in 13.9 seconds was amazing! Just picture this, at stage 10 you had a rifle loaded with 10 rounds
staged on a shelf, your pistols were loaded with 5 rounds each and holstered you had your shotgun staged on
another shelf several feet away and you were required to shoot it at least 4 targets. Yep, you counted right, 24
shots at 12 different targets at various distance from the shooter. And he did it under 14 seconds.
We also had some fantastic ORPA junior shooters as well. Kanshee Pick'em (A.K.A. Katelynn Hall) competed
in her first State match in the Buckerette division. Her fast and fancy shooting got her the prestigious First
Place ORPA award as well as first place overall in the State as well. We had some competition from returning
Buckeroo Big Ozz (A.K.A. Ozzie Gregg) who was also the ORPA and State champion in heated competition in
his division. But he bested them all by over 49 seconds! Not to be outdone, the Young Gun category was won
by Thomas Quigley (A.K.A. William Smith).
Our Ohio and Pistol Association was well represented with over 12 ORPA members competing in a variety of
shooting styles. When all the cling and clatter had stopped and the dust had settled the ORPA winners
emerged. In addition to the junior shooters, in the Senior Cowboy category it was Wilbur Green Rexroat
(A.K.A. Robert Steiger) shooting Senior Gunfighter while the Senior Cowgirl was Rose Louise Reasoner
(A.K.A. Karen Steiger) shooting Lady Gunfighter. The top ORPA Cowboy was Boaz (A.K.A. Jason Hardin)
shooting Frontier Cartridge Gunfighter.
Other ORPA shooters in the competition included: Blastin Brad (Brad Sabo) shooting Cowboy, Life-r (Michael
Life) shooting Frontier Cartridge, Rodent (David Volmer) shooting Cattle Barron, Ruger Ray (Ray McCoy)
shooting Frontier Cartridge Duelist, and Slow Poke Smith (Larry Dan Smith).
What an awesome match to shoot! Day one were all the side matches to include the Wild Bunch four stages
Mini Match, the Warm up 4 stage mini match, the Long range big bore and buffalo rifle matches, speed rifle,
speed shotgun and speed pistol events and the pocket pistol event. That evening was a fantastic steak dinner
at the PF&G.

The day prior to the match, Wilbur Rexroat hosted a SASS Range Officer I (ROI.) and Range Officer II Course.
The ROI Course is all classrooms and took about 6 hours then participants receive a ROI Certification Pin at
the end of the class. This is where they learn all of the rules of our game. The ROII Course was about 2-3
hours of classroom and then another couple of hours on the range doing Practical are that included having a
stage set up with safety problems and the class had to identify the problems and correct them.
Day one of the main match was HOT and it stayed that way throughout the entire event. Every target was
hittable yet no giveme's!.
There were only 14 clean shooters and your ORPA member who also shot clean was none other than Blastin
Brad.
The Final Overall Ohio Match winners were:
Sage Chick shooting Cowgirl and Skeeter Lee shooting Cowboy
The Final Overall Ohio State Match winner was:
Spud shooting cowboy

Don't forget the next major event of the “Cowboy” schedule. The Guns of August, August 10-12, at the
Middletown Sportsman's Club in Middletown OH. Please check out their web site for additional information.
http://www.bigirons.com/events.html#event_docs
And the Greene County Cowboys http://www.gcfng.com/gccowboys/index.html, will be hosting the annual
Ohio State Wild Bunch competition in September. Watch for the specific date and time.
If you have not been able to compete in or attend one of these shoots in the past, it would be a great treat to
become involved. You will see shooters from all over the country converge. Sign up early as a lot of these
competitions have a ceiling and when full, they are full.
I hope everyone gets out and in the immortal words of the range officers, “Be safe, Have fun.”
End of Trail
This year we took a trip to a place just outside of Edgewood, New Mexico called Founders Ranch. This trip
was to compete in the Single Action Shooting Society’s (SASS) world championship match, commonly referred
to as End of Trail. This event brings SASS cowboys and cowgirls from all around the world to compete in a 12
stage match.
There were warm up shoots, side shoots and the main match. With awards being given for side matches and
the main match. The weather was 90 degrees during the day, 60 degrees at night. Little to no clouds with

winds 10 to 15 miles per hour, at an elevation of nearly 7,000 feet. The drive from Columbus, was a little under
1500 miles, with much of the way along route 66.
This year, there were over 620 competitors, representing 5 countries and the United States of America. This
match is shot over 3 days, with 3 different start time each day. Each flight of shooters would start at a different
time each day and shoot 4 stages. This would give everyone them close to the same weather conditions as the
other flights, at one time or another.
Most of the people in our posse (mine and William’s) were from the US, plus 4 from Australia. Not a diverse
group but well enough. With me shooting black powder, the wind basically allowed me to have no problems
seeing the targets. However that changed on the 3rd morning, no wind, no clouds and bright sun. The first 2
stages were difficult, since I was going for a clean match, the smoke just hung there. Then the wind showed up
for the last 2 stages.
My take from this match was that I had shot my fastest time for a 12 stage match by 50 seconds and I would
have to have been another 100 seconds faster to make the top 10 shooters in my category. However I did get
a white buffalo, 1 of 107 clean match winners. William also shot his quickest 12 stage match by 60 seconds.
He had one miss, but finished in the top 10 in his category. Many of our shooting friends that were at this
match finished in the top 10 in their respective category and a few of them are current world champions. We
have some of the best SASS competitors in the world in this state, and we are happy to shoot with them at any
match.
