Here we are at GHSC 5 days before Christmas. At home, all the stockings are hung from the chimney with care, in hopes that
St. Nicholas soon would be there, to bring us all brand new Clays Match Guns. Tomorrow is Dec. 21, 2009 and the Winter Solstice. And so officially starts winter. It was totally overcast at gametime, and as our DJ, Doug McLean called the shooters to the line for Round 1, it started raining. It was much warmer today than in the last couple of weeks, with the temperature at the start of the match at 50degrees, skyrocketing to 53degrees by the end of round 5.
We missed our usual host & Match Director, Chuck Nicodemus, who was absent today. In his place stepped our Scorekeeper & DJ, Doug McLean. What did you do in your spare time today, Doug? Doug stays pretty busy on a typical Sunday folks. In addition to his duties during our match, Doug has always just come off a shift as a Range Officer, and folks, Sundays are BUSY!! Well done Doug, and thank you!!
Thanks also to our Arrays Impressario, Chuck Treat, who brought us target array series "B" today. This array series was/is
challenging to say the least. Let's take a look at what the Clays Match Competitors saw today.
Round 1
Round 1 saw 3 Green Standards forming an arch over an orange micro. After engaging and breaking those 4 clays, one moves to the black micro in the middle. On this dark, rainy December afternoon, the day before the start of winter, it was much appreciated to have the white dot in the middle of the micro in the middle.
Round 2
Round 2 saw the number of Standard sized clays decrease by 1. Now we see a Green Standard on either side of 2
stacked orange minis. After engaging and breaking those 4, it's on to the black micro in the middle, complete with it's white center spot.
Round 3
Round 3 presents 3 orange micros cupping a Green Standard, with those 4 clays bracketing the black micro in the middle. You will notice there is only one Standard Clay on the screen. Enjoy it now, because in Rnd 4, no more Standards.
Round 4
Round 4 has 4 orange micros in diamond formations, one on each side of the black micro in the middle, complete with it's white center spot. This is truly Great!! The day before the start of Winter, black as night except for the flood lights lighting the range, raining, and the black micro in the middle is highly visible for all to see, and shoot at.
Round 5
Round 5 has the 4 orange micros forming a box on each side of the black micro in the middle, complete with it's white spot in the middle. And we have some winners by the end of regulation play.
In the Open Class, with a score of 47, is our Arrays Impressario, Chuck Treat. All right Chuck, not only do you arrange them, you can also hit them. Well Done!!
In 2nd place in the Open Class is Ken Bagley Sr. with a score of 42. We have a tie for 3rd place in the Open Class between David Lee & Mathew Reid, each shooter posting scores of 39.
In the Limited Class, Steve Tinner leads the pack. Steve has shot a score of 37. In 2nd place in the Limited Class is
this reporter, Hal Hansen with a score of 31. In 3rd place in the Limited Class is Mark (OJ) Kimura with a score of 28.
Well, wherever our usual Host & Match Director, Chuck Nicodemus, is today, we all hope he can accomplish whatever he's doing and make it to the match next Sunday. Everyone enjoy a very Merry Christmas, have a SAFE and enjoyable New Year,
and we'll see you right here next Sunday afternoon at 4pm to break in our brand new Clays Match Guns Santa brought us.
HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A WONDERFUL, SAFE HAPPY NEW YEAR.
Hal
