33rd Alvin C York Memorial Shoot – March 28, 2026

This chunk gun match had 108 shooters this year.  The overall winner was Dawn Swigert with the best score of about 3.8″.  Dawn also had the best shot award.  First year in 33 years that a female won the match and it was well deserved!  Congratulations Dawn!

The Gemmer club was represented with 5 shooters and 6 members present for the match:  Tim Turnbull (10th Place), Walter Fett (16th Place), Bob Browner, Margie Browner, Dave Brandenburger, and Bob Vogt.  We do not have the overall scores for the event.  Once this is published, we will add this to this page.

5-25-2025 – Doug Scott Chunk Gun Match Results

Even though it lightly rained on us just about the entire match, we had a great time.

Congratulations Tim Turnbull for winning the match with a score of 4.99”.

Thank you to Joe Kelly for volunteering as the range officer, Glenn Baer as the scorer, and Walter Fett for setting and running the match!

We had a few visitors and a couple that had never shot a chunk gun match before! Overall a very successful event. We were even visited by David Scott, Doug Scott’s son, who wanted to see the match in memory of his dad.
