Help complete the record

These are the recollections we have so far for the 2021–2026 results. The earlier years and scores remain provisional. Please send any updates or corrections.

  • Cary Wood: recalled as the winner in years two and three, with 2/10 followed by 8/10. That tentatively places him in 2022 and 2023.
  • Mike Corbett: recalled one 8/10 win in year four or five. The working list places him in 2024; the year needs confirmation.
  • 2025: The winner is recalled as a Marine; his name and score still need confirmation.
  • Alex Charvat: recalled as a two-time winner, with 6 or 7/10 and then 8/10, two years apart. His years remain unresolved and may change the provisional assignments above.
  • Rick: a possible winner; full name, year and score are still needed.

These recollections describe more wins than fit the six listed years. A year assignment, the number of wins, or the early event timeline may need correction. We welcome score sheets, dated photos and firsthand corrections.
