Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen, and welcome back to Gig Harbor Sportsmans Club and a pretty typical early-fall Sunday afternoon. It wasn't raining for the match today, but it had been. The ground outside was wet, the sky, while blue in places, was in large part covered by large white Cumulus clouds, broken, but threatening. The temperature was only 56degrees in the range building at game time, and it's just about time to get the propane heaters revved up and checked out.
Many thanks to our match staff today for hosting 16 Guns, and putting on another smooth, fun-filled and especially a SAFE match. Many thanks to Doug McLean for Directing, Scoring and running the line today in Chuck Nicodemus' absence. Chuck is spending most of his time with his wife Carolyn, who is just beginning her recovery from a stroke suffered last week. Chuck & Carolyn, the very best wishes for your speedy recovery come to you from everyone at Gig Harbor Sportsmans Club. GET WELL SOON!!!! Doug, thanks for stepping in at this time when Chuck needed a break. Thanks also go to our Arrays
Impressios, Chuck Treat & Darren Foreman for bringing us another challenging base array, with "touch-ups". The basic array was Page 5, Round 3 of The Great Equalizer Series. However, this series is more challenging, it being accentuated with various sizes and color of middle of the screen clays, today ranging in size from Black 4" Standard Sporting Clays to 2" black micros, to the ever popular 1" wide red, but mostly black bottle caps in Round number 5. Let's see how the shooters in today's match did against this challenging array.
In the Ladies Class, only two shooters were in attendance, and the class was won by Gitti Anable who shot a score of 29. 2nd Place Lady was Carrie Morton, who turned in a score of 27. Very close Carrie, you just have to let that Glock have it's head and follow it closely. It'll get you there.
In the Junior Class we had three shooters come out to play. The class was won by Mary Stevens, who shot a score of 35. 2nd Place Junior was Brian Tinner, who turned in a score of 25. 3rd Place Junior was Kirk Foreman who shot a score of 20.
In the Open Class, this reporter, Hal Hansen, one of only 3 entrants, took the honors with a score of 43. Second Place Open was claimed by Richard Soulam with a score of 41. Mary Stevens placed 3rd in the Open Class with her Junior Class winning score of 35.
The undisputed Primere Class of the day was the Limited Class, which sported 13 Guns. The winner of the class was Steve Tinner who turned in the high score for the match with his personal best score of 46. Congratulations Steve. This reporter owes Steve a debt of gratitude for steppng in and writing the match reports while I was out lame. Thank you Steve. I was very surprised today that no one asked "Hal who?" while I was gone.
2nd Limited went to Jay Schoonmaker with a score of 41. 3rd Limited resulted in a tie between George Stevens and David Lee, both with scores of 38.
OK Folks, that's it for this edition of the Gig Harbor Sportsmans Club Clays Match. We'll meet right back here next week and we'll see whether we need the heaters or not. For very sure, it won't be long. In the meantime, you know the drill. Practice a lot, and practice safely. Remember the mantra:
SHOOT FAST! SHOOT ACCURATELY!! BUT MOST OF ALL, SHOOT SAFELY!!!!!!
Hal
