Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen, and welcome back to another Clays Match at GHSC. It was a typical February afternoon, and a good bit better than some. The temperature hovered at about 50degrees, the skies were alternately drizzling a cold rain, or threatening to, and as is usually the case in February, all 3 heaters were on and roaring. 14 guns came out to play today, and a great time was had by all.
Many thanks to our Match Staff for another great match. Thanks specifically to our Match Director, Chuck Nicodemus, for organizing and presenting the match. Thanks to our Scorekeeper and DJ, Doug McLean, for shuffling and dealing the duels, running the line and keeping score. And thanks to our Arrays Impressarios, Chuck Treat and Darren Foreman for bringing us Page 4 of The Great Equalizer Series today. Let's take a quick look at the match from the shooters perspective for a brief recap of the action.
Round 1
On each side of the screen, a straight line of 4 orange micros running right through a square formation of 4 Green Standards. If you are entered in the Open Class, shoot at the Orange micros. If entered in the Limited Class, the Green Standards hold your attentions. Either way, If you are successful in breaking all of your primarys, go to the center of the screen and attack The Black Micro in the Middle.
ROUND 2, 3, 4 & 5
During these next four rounds, there is a gradual transition from a line of 4 orange micros running through a square formation of
4 Green Standards, to a formation of a line of Four Green Standards running through a square formation of 4 orange micros.
Each step in the transition required a different, and not usually eary transition of routes through the clays. This was a match of tactics, as well as accuracy and speed!!
At the conclusion of the shooting, we had some winners. In the Ladies Class, Giti Anable showed the way with a winning score of 37. Giti had that 8 shot .22 Revolver running!! today. Carrie Morton finished 2nd with a score of 18, followed by Shirley Treat, shooting a score of 16.
In the Open Class, Jay Schoonmaker returned to the winner's circle with a score of 45. This reporter, Hal Hansen, took 2nd Open, shooting a score of 43. Our Ladies Class winner, Giti Anable was competing with an Open Gun and tied our Match Director, Chuck Nicodemus with identical scores of 37.
In the Limited Class, Steve Tinner shot a personal best score of 44. Steve has a list of victories to his credit, but his score of
44 today is the score he will be trying to break in the future. Good shooting, Steve. In 2nd Place in the Limited Class, our Arrays Imptessario, Chuck Treat did the honors with a score of 40. Alan Caron took 3rd limited with a score of 37.
Well, that's it for Super Bowl Sunday's Gig Harbor Sportsmans Club Clays Match. Super Bowl Sunday it may well have been,
but those of us at Gig Harbor Sportsmans Club have our own idea of a spectacular Sports program, and we enjoyed it to the fullest today. From the reports of today's game, our Match Staff put on a much better and smoother run show than the Super Bowl Halftime presentation. For sure we had a virtually error free program, and it was probably Safer:)
We'll see all you folks next week for another great Clays Match, and I expect it will be as smooth, efficient and error free as it was today. Practice hard and try and dethrone the winners from today. Remember the axiom:
"SHOOT FAST! SHOOT ACCURATELY!! BUT MOST OF ALL, SHOOT SAFELY!!!!"
