The BECKER Trophy

that contemplates the best 200-meter shooter, in a new version kindly offered by our friend benchrest shooter Yves LeDu,
 went without surprise to Johannes Franck that shot really well and consistently for his first participation in our competition.

A last comment to sincerely thank the exceptional dedication of the ACS crew that deployed an enormous amount of work
to improve the range conditions
and insure that out competition would run flawless in the best conditions,
to the measuring crew that once again did an outstanding job, and to our ladies in the “buvette”
that kept everybody happy with food, drinks and coffee.  See you all again next year!
