Well, the weather outside was frightful, the heaters were quite delightful, the clays match still goes on, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. And it did snow today, though not very hard, the temperatures right at freezing kept the flurries on the ground and let us know that it's almost winter. No matter, it's Sunday afternoon, and the clays match at Gig Harbor Sportsmans Club must go on. 8 entrants braved the elements, and when they met at the range building, and all the heaters were fired up, everyone brought out their guns, and a clays match broke out.
Many thanks to Chuck Nicodemus and his match staff for hosting and presenting the match today. Without further ado, I'll present the winners. As Chuck pointed out to this reporter, at home with an early season headcold, by the end of the match all anyone cared about was going home where it was warmer. Ours Arrays Impressario, Chuck Treat, brought out Page 1 of "The Great Equalizer Series" . At the end of 5 rounds Chuck Treat himself, shooting his .38cal Revolver, had won the Limited Class. In the Open Class, Jay Schoonmaker and his Ruger .22 took the honors. The Ladies were wise enough to stay home where it was warm, and folks, by golly, that's all the information we have. Next week we'll do it again, and if this reporter is cured by then, I'll be back at the range and try my hand with my Glock. Until then, stay safe, drive carefully, and remember: Driving to work in the snow isn't just a job, it's an Adventure. Remember also, even in this weather, dry-fire practice can accomplish virtually as much as live fire practice, and it's Free. No matter if you're dry firing or live firing, take the practice seriously, practice each and every one of your techniques, fundamentals and disciplines, and never forget:
"SHOOT FAST! SHOOT ACCURATELY!! BUT MOST OF ALL, SHOOT SAFELY!!!"
