It would have been a bit cool for our Saturday hours, but the weather was real nice for our Sunday schedule.  With plenty of sun, we didn’t even turn on the space heaters.

 

Welcome back to Buzzard Bayne, Matchstick Mitchell, and Mac Moshannon. Haven’t seen them for a while.  We also welcomed a new shooter – Major Gunz.  He’s new with our crowd but he has shot a couple of matches with our friends at Black Creek.

 

Congratulations to our two clean shooters: Mac Moshannon and … wait for it … Dakota Rambler.  Dakota was the match winner with no penalties and a bonus for hitting the flyer (a clay bird with turkey feathers).

 

Don’t forget: we shoot on the 9th and 17th in December and close the year with dinner and a gift exchange at Nick’s.

 

Scores attached.

We had a small posse at today’s match, which went quick and smooth with everybody pitching in where needed to help with the chores.

 

Congratulations to Ripsaw for the win, and to our three clean shooters: Ripsaw, Major B.S. Walker, and Lefty Spurmaker.

 

We shoot again next Sunday, Nov 19, but not on the 4th Saturday.  In December, we shoot on the 2nd Saturday Dec 9th and 3rd Sunday Dec 17 (followed by Christmas gift exchange at Nick’s).  Our normal schedule resumes in January.

 

Scores attached.

Nice work by the low time shooters. There were no CAD’s. It was a beautiful day. We will do this again next month where everyone starts as CAD.
