We had six throwers and we are using the new block which seemed to stick very well. Some of the scores were up. In first place was Mike with a score of 12 who stuck all his knife and hawk throws and cut the card once. Second place was Cass with a score of 9, who stuck all his hawk throws and cut the card once. Third place was Larry with a score of 6 and also stuck all his hawk throws. Fourth place was Matt with a score of 5 who is Contacts: Jim Cotton Mike Bird mike.bird54@yahoo.com Barb Kelly Conner.longrifles@outlook.com Facebook:

2 starting to come into his own. Fifth place was Chris with a score of 3 who is working on his throwing. We have no idea what happened to Jeff s throwing but all in all we had a great time. On to the rifle shoot. Our first target was the bear which Jeff really likes since he got a 50XX on it. Matt beat Mike on the bear. Matt scored 41 and Mike had a 39X. Next was the crow target with some moderate scores. Then we shot the nightmare target and I m happy to report that some shooters actually got some points. Jeff scored 20 on the nightmare, Mike scored 8, Cass 5, both Chris and Matt scored 0. A special one shot target this month was the squirrel on the branch where you can get negative points. Three of us, Mike, Jeff, and Cass scored -5. Matt and Chris played it safe with 0 each. So for the results Jeff in first place with 98XX, Mike in second with 74X, Matt in third close behind Mike with 60, Chris in fourth place with 40, and Cass in fifth place with 34. It was a lot of fun on a beautiful day. Now for the pistol report. As notified in the newsletter this was a pistol shoot month. There were three pistol shooters. We shot the 25 yard, slow-fire, single bull target. For safety reasons we use a two hand hold for pistol. Cass blew everyone away with a score of 81. Great shooting, Cass! In a distant second was Mike with a score of 37. Mike shortened his barrel by two inches to make it look better and hasn t been able to hit a thing since. First time pistol shooter Chris (who we know will get better with practice) came in third with a score of 5. Your shoot reporter and VP, Michael Bird Heber Cassidy won the Pistol Shoot
