Sorry it took so long. Season start-up is my excuse and
I'm stickin' to it. Thirty-one shooters joined us on a perfect day on the
range and fired 49 matches.
Roger Burdick, Calvin Johnson, and Steve Shauver all earned gold pins in Rimfire
Sporter. In fact, Mr. Burdick earned 2. Good shooing, especially for
early in the season.
Welcome to the shooters who joined us for the first time: Susan Vicars,
Charles Rasch, Devon Dale, Ronald Mitchell, John Farris, Mathew Wineland, Mark
Kocin, Ryan Kodramaz, and Andrew Brush. We hope you had fun and will join
us in the future.
There was some confusion at registration with regard to reservations and Garand
scorecards, for which I apologize. Our registrars have a PhD and a Masters
Degree between them, and are clearly over-educated for the position. We'll
keep training them and will do better in the future. I promise.
There were some disqualifications, one for shooting the wrong COF and two for
unsigned scorecards. The shooter is responsible for knowing which COF he
or she is firing and for signing the scorecard before submitting it. Just
like golf. Early season glitches.
We're going to do it all again June 19. Bring a friend who has not shot
with us before and one of you will get a free match. No novice shooters,
please. We have only 24 slots for the Garand matches and 30 slots for
Rimfire Sporter. I recommend reserving your slots in advance. Email
me at dhelwick4@att.net
or call at 440-354-9984. Please don't wait until the Friday before the
match. That's too late.
C-ya on the range.
Don Helwick
Match Director
