It was a beautiful day for shooting and a lot of you showed up to do just
that. We had 25 shooters try their hand at hitting those steel plates. Adam
Boynton burned up the course with a total score of 55.85 seconds on the Main
Event. Great shooting, Adam. In the El Presidente course, Frank Zimmerer did an
outstanding job with a score of 29.73 seconds. If I didn't know you Frank, I
would swear you got a ringer to shoot for you. Good going. You could tell that
we hadn't shot the El Presidente all summer, because there was a lot of
misses. With each miss adding 10 seconds to your score, there were some great
runs that didn't turn out so great. Hopefully everybody will remember to aim
when we have it next month.
On a more serious note, there was a problem today when some people ask
to shoot through because they had to leave early. Normally it was only one or
two people who did this in the past and it was not an issue. But today there
were nine people who did this and others got rightfully upset. The Plate
Shoot Committee had a meeting after the match and it was unanimously decided
that this will not be allowed in the future. Everybody will wait their turn and
nobody will get preferential treatment. The match tries to start at 10:00 and
usually ends around 2-3:00, depending on the amount of people shooting.
Please plan your day accordingly. If you have to leave early because of a
previous engagement you will get a DNF. It's not like getting a DNF is some sort of
loser designation. It just means that for some reason or another you were
unable to finish the course. Come back next month and try again.
Speaking of which, our next match will be on Sat. Sept. 9th. Please tell
your friends about it and invite them to check it out. They might try it and
find they are having as much fun as you are. Finally, I want to thank everybody who helped set it up and tear it
down. Without your help this would not be possible to put on. If you have any
questions or need to contact me, you can reach me at pl8shootr@aol.com.
Thanks again, and remember, keep that finger out of the trigger
guard until the sights are on the target.
See you next month.
