GHSC Pistol Clay Shoot

Greetings everyone. Under mostly rainy skies, 20 shooters showed up for todays match. 

Our clays today featured a consistent pattern (minus evolutionary changes from one round to another), of straight lines of clays at slight angles, guiding us to the infamous center nemesis. Only round 5 gave us the increasingly popular bottle caps. And yet the scores remain worthy of National Champions, well, would you believe the best shooters in all of Gig Harbor? I think so since 5 of our top 12 scored 40 and above today.

So, under the gray skies, the rain, the 60 degree day with 66% relative humidity at 4pm, we went a full 2 1/2 hours today to get our final scores.

In the ladies class, Carrie Morton does us proud taking top honors with 28 clays. Not far behind Gitti Anable kills 24 birds. Rounding out the Ladies top three, Stephanie Stevens and her semi-auto finish out with 21. Nicely done ladies. Betty, next week I'll be posting your name without the honorable mention of this week.

Juniors: Mary Stevens (no surprise here) takes top honors with 37 out of 50. In second place, Kirk Foreman records a 25 into the record books. Rounding out the Junior class Cody with 15. Sorry Cody, I didn't catch your last name.

The Open Class: Our own arrays aficionado Chuck Treat with an impressive, near perfect, 47. Tim Kopp right behind him with 45 and Richard Soulam also in the "Fourty Somethings" with a 40. Nicely done, gents.

Which brings us to THE LIMITEDS! (pause for effect)...

Ah the Limited Class, iron sights, iron guts, wheel guns, wheel shooters? (sorry, couldn't resist). Yes, I know I'm prejudiced to the limited class simply because that's where your humble back-up reporter likes to shoot. So... we have, taking top honors here, Tim "I Ain't Doin the Dishes Tonight" Anable, posting a very nice 41. Steve "Still Ain't Mike Blondin" Tinner breathing down Tim's neck with a 40. I'm sure Tim would say that tickles to have me breath down his neck but luckily I'm shorter. Gitti, take care of that please? But I digress. Right behind me, completing the Limited class, Todd Anderson with a very respectable 37 points.

Once again, our trusty stead, Hotshot, remains corralled until such time as a perfect score of 50 allows him to see the sunshine... or be it liquid sunshine... or at least daylight.

Until next week, dear friends...

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

TTFN,

Steve
