Sixty-eight shooters from all over the country plus England and New Zealand participated in the Arkansas Open this past weekend in Little Rock, Ark.

He broke a perfect score of 400/400. His squad mates did well also with Nick Ballentine of Martinez, Ca placing runner up with a 398/400. Nick won the US Open 2 weeks ago with a similar 398/400.
Another squad mate, Dr. Kenneth Ford of Sharpe placed AAA5 and senior runner up with a 394/400. Ford had scores of 98/100 in the 12g event (AA4), 100/100 in the 20g event (AA1), 100/100 in the 28g event (AAA5), 96/100 in the 410 event (AAA5) and 97/100 in the Doubles event (AAA4).
