The tournament also featured games of skill and door prizes. Each player who participated received an APA t-shirt, a plastic mug, and free pizza.
The big winners of the day were Jon Curtis and Bruce Morrison – they split the top prize of $150. Way to go, guys!Second-place winners of $120 were Tami Deveaux and Casey Merrell. Good shooting!
Third-place honors and $80 went to Dale Brenner and John Bosserman, and Lerrian Allbright and Johns Rigsbee took 4th place and $50.
Our 5th-place finishers were Mike McDowell and Andrew Robishaw, and Bill Dixon and Charlie Pernot. Both teams received $20 each.
