We are really proud that we can support such excellent sportshooting events like the 23rd Annual Matthew Quigley Buffalo Rifle Match held June14-15, 2014 in Forsythe, MT. These people keep the spirit of those great old times alive. Please let me share with you the letter of Mr. Buz Coker, director of the Match.

 

“Dear Mr. Pedersoli,
I would like to thank you for your continued generous support of the Matthew Quigley Buffalo Rifle Match.  This year’s donation of a Sharps 1874 rifle was one of the finest quality rifles you have provided us yet.  It was a privilege to display it at the match and to present it to the winner at the prize drawings that conclude the match.  The Pedersoli rifle was won by Dean Andvik of Kindred, North Dakota.  He was very pleased at his good fortune as you can see in the picture provided below.

This year’s Quigley Match had 602 shooters competing from 36 different states and three foreign countries (Canada, Australia and Germany).  It was a great success despite starting with a half-day rain delay on the first day of the match.  The Quigley Match continues to be the largest rifle match of its kind in the United States and the unofficial “national championship.”  

Thank you again for your kind support.  Gloria did a wonderful job coordinating the timely delivery of the prize rifle.

                            Sincerely,
                            Buz Coker
                            Quigley Match Director”
