     A good Summer Sunday to you all, and welcome back to Gig Harbor Sportsmans Club for a beautiful, warm 64degree summer's Clays Match.  This is the kind of day we think about during the winter when we are so enjoying the rain and cold temps.

Our Match Staff, comprised of our Match Director Chuck Nicodemus, our Scorekeeper Doug Mclean and our Arrays Impressario Chuck Treat brought us another fine match, in the form of Pg 6 of The Great Equalizer Series.  Let's look at what the shooters saw today.

 

Round 1

     Round 1 starts with 2 White Standards, followed by 2 orange micros on the top row, with the order reversed on the bottom row.  If you are shooting in the Open Class, aim at the orange micros, and if you are shooting in the Limited Class, shoot at the White Standards.  As always, if you are successful in breaking your primary clays, engage and attempt to break the black micro in the middle.

 

Round 2

     In this round, the top row stays the same, but the bottom row shows the orange micros and the White Standards alternating.

As before, and as always, if, and only if, you successfully break your primaries, engage and attempt to break the black micro in the middle.

 

Round 3

     Now both top & bottom rows alternate the clays.  The top row shows the white standard followed by an orange micro with the sequence then repeated.  On the bottom row, an orange micro alternates with a White Standard, with the sequence repeated.

 

Round 4

     This round shows the top row to be comprised of first a White Standard, still followed by an orange micro, with the sequence again repeated.  The bottom row leads with 2 orange micros followed by 2 White Standards.  Break your primaries, and the black micro in the middle awaits.

 

Round 5

     Back to symetry once again.  On the outside of the screens, 4 orange micros, 2 on the top row and 2 on the bottom row

bracket 4 White Standards with 2 on the top row and 2 on the bottom row.  Pick your 4primaries, and if you successfully break them, engage the black micro in the middle.  Good Luck!!

 

     The match results today show that only 1 Lady competed.  Giti Anable shot uncontested today, and won her class handily.

In the Open Class, Jay Schoonmaker led the field of 6 Shooters with a score of 47.  2nd Open was won by Loren DeShon who turned in a score of 44.  In 3rd Place in today's Open Class, Ken Bagley SR.  shot a score of 43.

 

     In the Limited Class, Jim Skedd and his predatory NightHawk shot a score of 43.  Tied for 2nd Open, both with scores of 42

were this reporter, Hal Hansen & Tim Anable, both shooting Kimbers.  In 3rd Open, our Arrays Impressario, Chuck Treat,

with his Single Action Army Revolver, posted a score of 39. 

 

     We had two new shooters on the firing line today,  Mike Davis & Rich Repp.   Gents, we hope you had a good time and will join us every Sunday at 4:00PM.  Until next Sunday at 4:00pm then, drive carefully, shoot often and shoot safely.  We want to shoot with you, not read about you.  Remember your fundamentals and priorities in practice.  Job #1 is Safety, followed by accuracy, and finally speed.  Keeping in mind that safety is most important,  don't let anyone fool you about the other two fundamentals.  Remember:

 

"IT'S ALL ABOUT SIGHT PICTURE AND TRIGGER SQUEEZE.  THE REST IS JUST THERE TO CONFUSE YOU."
