January 2021 Silhouette Report

The date: January 9, 2021

The time: 8am

The temperature: Just below freezing

The Story: Started off just a little cold, heavy frost, but no wind. just enough shooters (eight) to fill two relays, one more to call the match, and spot for me, a big thank you to Charlie McClure.  

Slight delay in setting up, match one start delayed until 9:20, when the frost condensation was melting off the overhead pipes, those without appropriate headgear were dripped upon. Shooter vote called for 40 shot matches and shooting through to not delay recovery to warmer climate.

The electric Club Car golf cart has been replaced by this YAMAHA gasoline cart. This is a substantial investment for the club. The key for the cart will be kept in a lock-box and will be checked out to those needing the use of the cart by the RO. The driver is responsible for helping to maintain the cart. Check the gas, oil, and tire pressure prior to each use. If it is muddy wash the cart prior to storage. The RO will inspect the cart when the key is returned to ensure it is maintained properly. Your help in maintaining the cart is important to the longevity and availability of the cart. 

December Falling Plates

What a great day to be at the range. Sun shining, no wind, and 70 degrees! We had seven shooters and two spectators. David Eckhardt brought his grandson Daniel. This was David's first match since joining the club. Holly Austin was the second first time shooter. Holly shots at Arlington Sportsman Club and joined us for the match at the invitation of Till and Ken. I hope everyone had as much fun as I did.

Just a note I was extremely pleased to have Jud back and shooting the match with us after a long recovery from a shoulder injury.
