Today’s 3-gun match brought out 14 shooters; eight Level 1 & six Level 2. Weather was pretty warm but shade trees & a pop-up tent helped & Wayne Broome brought some water to ease the pain.
Had an elaborate multi-gun stage planned and set up by John & Kathy Kiwacka as well as a pistol-only stage they had for us in the pit. Many thanks to both of them for their hard work on these two stages. Lastly, we had another 3-gun on the main range to round out the day. As promised, we had paper, steel and clays at near and moderate ranges to give a pretty good all around test of shooting skills. As always, much thanks to Jerry Lock for his assistance as well as to all of you for resetting and pasting targets and after-match clean-up.
TODAY’S WINNERS & their total elapsed times:
LEVEL 1–Jerry Lock(343.78), Danny Coggin(397.09), Dennis Jennings(433.77), Gerald Lambert(446.25)
LEVEL 2–Billy Haynes, Jr.(235.90), Jeff Lewis(280.37), Ricky Pruitt(323.52), Dick Williams(338.33)
Next month, July 8th, will be a PISTOL/ONLY match. I intend to give you a pretty good run-down on what to expect shortly.
On a sadder note, most of you probably know that we lost one of our action shooting buddies last week. Ben Jackson hasn’t shot much with us recently but those of you who remember him from a few years ago will recall what a fun guy he was to have around on match day. Always smiling, telling jokes, taking friendly jabs at fellow competitors and most often at himself. When Ben was around, it was always a fun day at the range and we will miss him greatly. Our prayers go out to his family.
