June 9th, 2007 STEEL PLATE SHOOT

It was a gorgeous day for a plate shoot, and 22 people showed up to try their skill on those steel plates.  It looked like you had to shoot under 30 seconds to be in contention on the main event.  Which explains why I'm way down on the list.  I hope everybody had a good time shooting.  We try to put on a fun but challenging match to keep you on your toes.  If it was too easy, you'd get bored and quit coming.  Brad Mercer had two great runs to take first place. Jon Scott was 1.5 seconds behind to take second.  It doesn't get much closer than that, folks.  Great shooting guys.
One thing that I will repeat from last year is that the rule is that nobody can shoot out of turn because they have to leave early.  We had an issue last year when people abused that privilege.  Now you must wait your turn. The main event usually runs till 1:00 to 2:00 depending on how many people have shown up.  Please plan accordingly.  Also, you guys are getting much better in regards to muzzle control and keeping your finger out of the trigger guard while moving.  I only had to remind some of you a couple of times to watch it. 

I have to admit that Rick was really hard on everybody, including myself, on the El Presidente match. But you can't argue with the range officer so even I had to live with my score.  Next month we'll try painting the targets after every run so there will be no question on whether there was a hit or not. We want to give everybody a safe and fun time, so we will adapt our methods to provide it.

If you need to contact me for any reason, you can email me at pl8shootr@sbcglobal.net. Thanks to everybody who came out, and we hope to see you next month on our July 14th match. Shoot safe, and focus on that front sight.
