Radelow Blades Spring Series by Southwest ULR, April 2019 Match Recap
It was another beautiful Sunday to shoot Ultra Long Range, there was a slight 1-3 MPH switching wind and a relatively low pressure in the desert of the Southwest. As the sun rose over the mountains in the distance, 15 shooters lined up with heavy large caliber rifles and fired towards the far distance at the course of fire, 3 steel targets all over a mile away.
After all the shots were fired Tonny Wong was simply in another league, and crowned “Top Gun” finishing in the lead the next closest shooter was 30 points behind. Tonny was awarded with $150 of Cutting Edge Bullets, compliments of Cutting Edge. Second, Third and Forth was separated by one shot. Kurt Stone (2nd place) edged out Vince Teach (3rd place) and Ernesto (4th Place), Kurt a long-time competitor with Southwest ULR, recently upgraded his equipment and just like that, a second-place finish and he is also awarded with $150 of Cutting Edge Bullets, compliments of Cutting Edge.
