How about that folks?! We finally got to shoot in the open!! But, because it was going to be so hot, we decided to put up the canopies for those who don’t have umbrellas on their gun carts. The next time we set up canopies, we’ll position them closer to the stage and center them to stage as well.
We had a great turn out with 34 shooters for our June shoot. This means that everything moved along quite smoothly as far as the posses go. Shooting was only a few minutes late starting, so that’s not bad. Lunch took a little longer than is normal due to the heat and people walking a little slower back to the club house.
Set up was handled by the usual people . . .Elk Creek Ken, Sandy Steele, Fuller beans, Raunchy Rick, Loco Poco Lobo, Nawlins Kid, Jeremiah Grimm, Shorty Morty, Cactus Jack, and Rick O Shay. Thanks pards!!! Excellent job as always.
We had 2 real “crack shooters” . . William Clemnos and Shotgun Ron who shot ALL 4 stages clean!!! Way to go there!
It seems like people are loosing quite a bit of brass. To help solve this problem, we’re going to move the carpets further past the firing lines in order to keep the brass outta the grass!
Tear down went quite smooth despite the fact we didn’t have our full size trailer and had to use our mini trailer. Putting the targets, tables, etc. away in the new shed, was a LOT easier and faster than having to put things up into the trailer. The new shed is definitely an improvement for us and our club!
