That's very cool. Congratulations to the young'en for a First Place. My son recently beat me at Sporting Clays for the first time. The young lions coming of age...

Thanks, Dock! As you say, the young lions eventually overtake us all.
The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishes are rifle class (vintage-as issued, AR-10, etc). The match winner has to be shooting vintage, as issued
The "match winner" and my son had the same score, but the tie was decided in the other guys favor based on "ram count" (he got 7, my son got 6)
The match allows the rams to be "soft set", so that the .223 shooters can knock them over. I blew the "soft set" on one of the rams (my son was shooting 2nd) and my son "rang" that ram (he hit it, but it failed to fall over), so the hit didn't count. If I had done the job right, he would have scored a 29 and been the match winner.
Luckily, he is the forgiving type
