GHSC Sunday Clay Pistol Shoot

As the summer begins to wane, kids return to school, a moderate 79 degree day commemorates our fallen comrades of 9/11 and a modest turnout for our Sunday Clay Shoot.

Only eight shooters today and only two classes as there was only one fair lady and one young lad. So four and four in Limited and Open Classes. And heeeeeeeeere they are:

Limited Class George Stevens 45

Steve Tinner 40

Todd Anderson 39

Chuck N. 34

Open Class Richard Soulam 45

Chuck Treat 43

Brian Tinner 32

Stephanie Stevens 21

Round 1: We have alternating big green and small orange with black in the middle.

Round 2: We have alternating big green and small orange with black in the middle.

Round 3: We have alternating big green and small orange with black in the middle.

Round 4: We have alternating big green and small orange with black in the middle.

Round 5: We have alternating big green and small orange with black in the middle.

Anyone besides me notice a pattern here? Yet, notice the omission of red or green 1" caps or bottle caps, or Cheetoes or 16p nails or any other micro target that might eventually show up on a Sunday.

Congratulations to both Richard and George for fine displays of marksmanship today. Each scoring nicely with 45 points but alas that perfect 50 eludes them. Hence, Hotshot, our trusty Range Steed, remains coral-ed. No free carrot for him today nor a free range trot around the park. However, as a special event in honor of 9/11, Hotshots children stopped by for a special treat (not Chuck Treat) for todays hot shots. 

To begin the first victory lap, George and Richard mount up on Slapshot and Topshot. They take off at a modest rate heading towards the practical shotgun range. At a respectable distance, Flushot and TetnusShot bring Steve and Chuck Treat into view.  As the leaders prance (well, their horses anyway) through the recently unleaded shotgun grounds, Slapshot found a gopher hole and tripped. As tradition dictates, Slapshot will have to be shot. He seems to be ok but now we have a horse with a broken leg and a gun shot wound. If he's not better by next Sunday, we'll shoot him again (thank you Larry the Cable Guy!).

Even with todays warm temps and "horsing around", we were done and gone by 17:30. 

Don't forget next Saturday: our GHSC Swap Meet. 

So until next Sunday when "Randomness, Baby" comes our way again,

Shoot accurately, shoot quickly, but above all, shoot safely.
