Jim Barnes Wins Lollipop Shoot

Easthampton Fish and Game hosted a .22 Rimfire “Lollipop” match on Saturday, September 26th. The competition was fierce, with the final winner determined by a "shoot-off".

The regular match at 50 yards of 15 lollipops with 30 rounds of ammo ended with a tie for first place between Walt Tarka and Jim Barnes. Both shooters cleared all 15 lollipops to end up with scores of 29 points each.

75-Yard Shoot-Off
The lollipop stands were moved out to 75 yards with Walt and Jim shooting 10 rounds in 5 minutes to clear 5 lollipops. Jim Barnes won the "shoot-off" clearing 4 lollipops; and Walt Tarka cleared 3 lollipops.

Congratulations to Jim for his 1st Place Award and $20 prize.
