GHSC Sunday Clay Pistol Shoot

I'm pleased to report that after last weeks horse accident, Slapshot, is doing fine.

This week, under cooler, drizzly, 62 degree skies, the shooting was as hot as ever. 18 of Gig Harbors finest competitors braved a smattering of rain to raise their weapons once again.

Once again this week we faced our favorite 4" greens and 2" oranges with unwavering randomness. Rounds 4 and 5 however, brought us Chuck Treats favorite new nemesis': THE DREADED BOTTLE CAPS!

And so, In the Limited Class, the return of Loren DeShon is acknowledged in first place with a excellent score of 47. Nice shooting Loren. A 3 way tie for second place between Steve Tinner, Todd Anderson, and John Iverson, all with respectable scores of 41. 

The Open Class was equally divided as Jay Schoonmaker also posts a 47. But here, only a two way tie for second place between Ken Bagley Sr and Uncle Bob from Tennessee, both coming in with scores of 40. Sorry Bob, I didn't catch your last name but we were glad to have you here on vacation with us. You're welcome to come shoot anytime.

Without Mary Stevens on the range this week, Brian and Kirk shot it out amongst themselves as the only two Junior shooters. Brian Tinner taking the win with a personal best of 33. Kirk in second place with 24. Keep shootin' boys, it won't be long til that 18th birthday rolls around and you get kicked up to the big leagues. 

Bringing us to the Ladies Division. Gitti Anable taking top honors today with a very nice 40. Second place goes to Mellisa Iverson with 23 and Stephanie Stevens in her debut appearance with her new 9mm posting a 17.

And so our four winners, Loren, Jay, Brian, and Gitti, have the sunshine of victory smiling upon them once again. Thanks to all our wonderful peeps for making these events possible: Doug McCleen whose bounding voice keeps us in line and on track, Darren Foreman for his organizational skills and penmanship, Chuck Treat for keeping our clays coming (and the bottle caps too). Uncle Chuck Nickodemus, even though you weren't there today, we thank you for all you do and Mike Blondin, our benevolent R/P Range leader. Your usual reporter, Hal Hanson, will probably be back in two weeks. 

Next week is PITA Competition so NO CLAYS NEXT WEEK! So see you all October 2nd. 

Until then... shoot accurately, shoot safely, but just shoot.

Your reporter of the week,

Steve Tinner
