3 Trap Match Well we had a great day very little wind. We have some great score s this week with high s 46 to take A Class. We had a twoway tie in B class followed with a four-way tie in C class. Great shooting guy s. Again we had a great turn out with 5 squads with 24 shooters. Top score for the day went to Scott King with a 46 to take A Class, Pat Childers and David Barron tied with a 44 for B Class. In C Class we had a four-way tie with Ron Damstrom, Alan Lashley, Pat Johnson, Tim Howard. Cameron Hufham took D Class. Many thanks to Richie Long, Pat Childers and the many others who helped make this a good day on the trap field. Without their help it would have been a long day. A CLASS Scott King 46* B CLASS Pat Childers 44* David Barron 44* Bob Mac Farland 43 Wayne Schiavi 43 Kyle Hufham 42 Richie Long 41 Wayne Averilla 39 Doug Peacock 39 Eric Leo 39 Mike Petrone 39 C CLASS Ron Damstrom 38* Alan Lashley 38* Pat Johnson 38* Tim Howard 38* Bob Mullen 36 Frank Keil 34 Gregg Hamelin 33 Ken Nadler 33 D CLASS Cameron Hufham 32* Clark Marvin 29 Mark Lashley 23 Mike Bowers 18 Jason Hall 8 Cowboy Fast Draw Match Howdy all, as always a great bunch to shoot with. And thank you for your patience when the computer went down...(it's working fine now)...i guess it's good practice to have to do it by hand ever now and again...not. We welcomed new Women's shooter "Lawless Lola Jones", Lawless started shooting under a second in short order...with a little practice we may have a hard time keeping up with the Jones'. And a big thanks to Charlie Horse for supplying the hot apple cider, that and a little propane helped knock off the chill. At the end of our six round no X match Reaper Jones was ranked #1, followed by Bull and Charlie Horse all with only one X. We had a one X match to see who would get the 7th spot in the 2-X Mag 7 Shoot-Off, with Bell Swamp Charlie taking that spot. In the end it was Snow Leopard with no Xs against Reaper Jones with one X. When the dust settled it was Reaper Jones with the top spot. The results of the match are below, everyone's fastest shot of the day included. Good shooting pards. 1- Reaper Jones (.603) - CONGRATULATIONS - Top Gun!!!! 2- Snow Leopard (.532) 3- Bull (.505) 4- Bell Swamp Charlie (.709) 5- Charlie Horse (.701) 6- Tall Pines Kid (.531) 7- Hot Lead Heather (.708) 8- Kid Jallao (.698) 9- Chance Holden (.702) 10-Lawless Lola Jones (.935) 11-Uncle Jefro (.649) Congrats to "Bull" for the fastest time of the day with a.505 shot. Come join us and try out your skills on Saturday February 25th at High Noon 12:00pm. Saturday February 25th is a club work day, we will start set-up around 11:00am. Good time of year for late start. Want to give it a try, give me a call or me Sincerely, Uncle Jefro & Hot Lead Heather
