Dick Holliday feared his wife wasn't hearing as well as she used to and he thought she might need a hearing aid. Not quite sure how to approach her, he called the family Doctor to discuss the problem. The Doctor told him there is a simple informal test the husband could perform to give the Doctor a better idea about her hearing loss. 'Here's what you do,' said the Doctor, 'stand about 40 feet away from her, and in a normal conversational speaking tone see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on until you get a response.' That evening, the wife is in the kitchen cooking dinner, and he was in the den. He says to himself, 'I'm about 40 feet away, let's see what happens. Then in a normal tone he asks, 'Honey, what's for dinner?' No response. So the Dick moves closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his wife and repeats, Honey what's for dinner? Still no response. Next he moves into the dining room where he is about 20 feet from his Wife and asks, 'Honey, what's for dinner?' Again he gets no response. So, he walks up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away. 'Honey, what's for dinner?' Again there is no response. So he walks right up behind her. 'Hey, what's for dinner?' She Says... 'Dammit, Dick, for the FIFTH time, CHICKEN!'

We welcomed three new shooters, Randy L from Myrtle Beach way...and Hired Gun and Saloon Dawg from the Raleigh area, hopefully they are looking at getting a club started up there, we sure hope they do. And a big Thank You to "the Bull" for grilling up a nice lunch for us after the match. At the end of our six round no X match Bull was ranked #1 without a single X, followed by Beaner with one X. Chance Holden secured the last spot in the Mag-7 by winning the 1-X Last Chance. In the 2-X Mag-7 Shoot-Off Tall Pines Kid shot his way to the top with one X, against Beaner with no Xs. This was a good tune up for Tall Pines Kid cause he's heading to Florida this month to shoot the Florida State Championship and Eastern Territorial Championship, we sure wish him the best.
