It has been six weeks since the Cup and I have not seen the Match report on here or Airgun Nation. Seen plenty of pics and videos of equipment. Shortly after the event a few pics of the scoreboard but that doesn't make the match report we are all use to.
I suspect it might be on a link to another web site but I have read no mention on it here. For as big a match as it was I think there should of been some recognition of it here for both FT participants and benchrest.

Scores are in there too as linked documents
Did not find a list of final Field Target scores like we normally get but the Benchrest results we there.
Any possibility to get the formal scores and placement for the field target event? Those quick pics of
the score board the day after the match were very hard to read and some were truncated and not meant to be the formal standings.
Would be nice to just add a score column to the participants name and equipment list. That is typically what most shooters like to see.
Overall the Field Target course was excellent except for excessive cold lines but with 120 shooters on the course on day one that is a lot of pulling targets. Some of the closer targets with small KZ's really got shot up bad to the point it was difficult finding where to aim at the KZ. Again, with that many good shooters that should be planned for. Everyone wants to see what they are trying to aim at and not all scopes and eyes are equal.
Lastly, many of us got off the course Sunday about 12:30. The awards ceremony was not held where it was suppose to be and didn't get going until 4:30 pm. What was that all about?
Congratulations to Bill Rabbitt on his perfect day and to all the other great scores turned in. Cheers to next year!
One last thing .......... in all big matches with titles and awards at stake. The final day of competition the top 5 to 10 shooters in each class should be shooting together in groups by their previous days placement scores. Any thing less de-legitimizes the game. The Top shooters earn this right to be there. I say this with over 35 years of 3-D archery and Airgun competition. Have also hammered on this same issue in the past so it is nothing new. The Benchrests shooters all shot their final day together and Field target shooters should be treated the same. Adds a little pressure to the game that all top shooters need to earn their title and their right to be there. I have never seen a last day of a Major Golf tournament that don't place their Top Golfers up together.
