     Good afternoon all you fans of Clays Shooting.  It's was a beautiful Sunday afternoon, with bright BLUE skies and a temperature, in the range building, in the upper 70's  Many thanks to our match staff, comprised of our Match Director, Chuck Nicodemus, our Scorekeeper and dealer of the duels, Doug McLean, our Arrays Impressario, Chuck Treat, and lastly, Co-AI and Executive Assistant to the Match, Darren Forman.  Chuck and Darren brought us another Helter Skelter Match today, with the arrangement of the clays up to whoever was resetting the arrays.  The only limiting factor was simply that there must be 4 orange micros, and 4 Green Standards on either side of the black micro in the middle. But yet again we fell victims to our new nemesis for 5th target madness, THE DREADED BOTTLE CAPS! Outside of that proviso, the arrays are limited only by the imagination and energy of whoever is setting the clays.

    

At the end of 5 Rounds of shooting, we have a winner in the Limited Class.  This reporter, Steve Tinner has turned in a score of 44 and taken the win.  Steve was shooting his beloved Ruger Redhawk .44 Magnum Revolver.  Third straight win but still feeling the elusiveness of scores in the upper 40's. In 2nd Place in the Limited Class was Tim Anable with a score of 41.  Sorry Tim, close but no cigar. In 3rd Place in the Limited Class today was Rolf Lunde, with a score of 36. Welcome back, Rolf.

 

     In the Open Class today, at the end of 5 Rounds of shooting, Jay "Top Gun" Schoonemaker, came in just one clay short of that perfect 50. As we say, there's always next week.  Rounding out the Open Class, Darren Foreman and George Stevens right on Jays tail.

 

The Juniors shot very well today, lead shooter Brian Tinner, bringing Team Tinner the dual Golds of Victory today. His 32 clays broke slightly ahead of Mary Stevens' 30, followed by Kirk Foreman in 3^rd.

 

The Ladies also presented tough competition with only 2 clays separating 1^st and 2^nd. Giti's not doing the dishes tonight since she claimed victory with a nice 33. Carrie Morton right there with her scoring 31. Rounding out todays Ladies Class, a big welcome back to Marla Crouch, taking 3^rd place.

 

 

Congratulations on a SAFE, clean and challenging match.  Until next week always remember:

 

                  "SPEED IS FINE, BUT ACCURACY IS FINAL"

 

Steve
