It was a lousy day for a plate shoot, but we still had fourteen shooters
show up to test their skills. Right after we got set up, it rained for about
five minutes, then stopped. After that we had dry weather for the rest of the
match. I want to thank everybody who showed up. It was a fun day. Because of
the wet grass we had the zig-zag match where the shooter doesn't move but
shoots from side to side with the stop plate in the middle. The winner this month
was Frank Simmerer with a final score of 54.47 seconds. Great shooting,
Frank. Even though he used a 9mm, I will attest that they were strong enough to
work the slide back and forth on his gun. I hope this puts to rest the ugly
rumor that he used wussy loads. I won't tell anybody I started that rumor,
Frank, if you don't.
I have to apologize to all the shooters who were expecting the El
Presidente. We didn't have enough workers show up, due to some miscommunication.
Some thought that because the club was holding the Women in the Outdoors event
that the whole club was closed. But that event was held close to the clubhouse
and didn't effect us. I will make sure that the El Presidente will be up and
running for our last match of the year on Oct. 14.
I want to thank Dennis Nelson and Rick Heyt for helping run the match,
and all the other guys who helped set it up and tear it down. Without you we
couldn't put it on. If there is anybody who has any questions about our last match of the
year on Saturday Oct. 14, you may contact me at pl8shootr@aol.com.
It's open to members and nonmembers alike. So bring a buddy to check it out. The more the merrier, and I guarantee they will have a good
time.
Until then, focus on that front sight, and think safety.
See you at the next match.
