     Good evening, Ladies and Gentlemen, and welcome back to Gig Harbor Sportsmans Club and the first of Two Falling Plate Matches in the month of May 2011.  It was a pleasnt, if windy evening, with the temperature at 45degrees and a brisk 10-15mph wind.

No matter, the fervor of the competitors and the fever of the competition kept everyone warm.  And I Have Some Good News For You Folks.  I Have An Announcement!!!!

 

     Our Head Stage Manager, Mathew Seagraves and our 4th Place Finisher tonight, Randa Aho Are Engaged!!  Randa showed up for the match tonight tooled up for match competition, replete with a bright shiny diamond ring!!!   Randa and Mathew, Congratulations from all of us.  We all wish you a long, productive, loving life together.

Well done folks!!

     After that bit of news, the results of the falling plate match will seem anticlimatic. Well, let's give it a try.

22 entered the match tonight.  At the end of the preliminarys there were but 4 still in contention; Loren DeShon, George Flaherty, Lee Lewis, and Randa Aho.  Lee Lewis put Randa Aho on the trailer, where she was observed staring at her new diamond ring.  Not bad Randa, a new diamond ring and a fourth place finish.  Congratulations.

     Loren DeShon and George Flaherty dueled next, with the win going to Loren, exit George with a 3rd Place Finish.  Well done, George.  So it came down to Loren & Lee, each with a bunch of numbers on the board.  They dueled back and forth about 5 times, and finally Loren had 2 numbers on the board to Lee's one number.  At this point lee missed a plate, and Loren didn't.  Duel and match to Loren DeShon, 2nd place to Lee Lewis, and that was the match for tonight.  We'll see you in two weeks, May 16, 2011 at 6:00pm.  Until then, practice hard, often and with the proper techniques.  One can't get sloppy in this game, even if you're shooting a NightHawk.  Always remember your priorities:  1) SAFETY  2) Accuracy  3) Speed.   Take it from successful shooters:

 

           "TRY AS YOU MIGHT, YOU CANNOT MISS FAST ENOUGH TO WIN."
