President’s Column
Forty five registered shooters took advantage of good weather at this year’s fall shoot. We had lots of powder and caps along with other good prizes for the prize table Sunday morning. Top three AGGs in participation were Offhand, Hunters and Flintlock. We had two junior shooters, Julie Ghent and Adam Caddell, who participated in the Under 16 and Under 12 AGGs. Thanks to Julie and Adam for shooting and thanks to their parents for bring them.
Bob Mims again made the drive down from Odessa. Bob was at the June shoot after several years absent. Bob told me that I had his age wrong in the last Swap Sheet. He is only 92 this year instead of 93 as I mentioned. So only being 92 must explain the 50-3X he shot on his 50 yard X-sticks target. Great shooting Bob at any age.
We again did the stew pot meal and auction on Saturday evening. We had volunteers for the onion peeling so no need to have a shoot off for the privilege. Fred Greenway thanked the volunteers as Fred’s team seems to have won the onion shoot the pasted several years. We had about 30 present for the meal and auction. Thanks to everyone who donated to the auction and to those who bid. All monies raised at the auction go to buying prizes for Sunday.
Schuetzen donates powder for shoot
Tambi Dudley of Schuetzen powder donated 25 pounds of powder. We used 10 pounds for have to be present giveaway during the meal and auction Saturday evening. The remaining 15 pounds went on the prize table Sunday. Thanks to Tambi and Schuetzen for their donation.
Again want to thank all who work to make the shoot run. Bonnie Solovan in the range house, Tom Taylor range officer and all those who help out.
That’s all for now. See you in March.
Andy
Hello again, I hope everyone has had a wonderful Christmas and is getting ready for the New Year. Seems like each year it goes by faster and faster but for me that also means the next shot at Brady is never far away.
October turned out to be a good shoot with some nice weather and even some members that haven’t been able to make it for some time now. I hope we can keep them coming back plus some new ones.
One thing that did stand out to me lately was the article in the latest Muzzle Blasts. Membership is down across the country not only for our club, I really hope that we can start to reach a new group of shooters so that the sport we all love can live on for a younger generation. Being one of the younger shooters I see the need to get more people my age involved.
As always I hope everyone can make it out for the shoot in March.
