NEWS and SHOOT RESULTS
A whole passel of people came out for the Father’s Day shoot. But only one Father/Son team. A total of 14 shooters and at least 5 visitors braved the heat and humidity. The temperature officially only got to 90°F but the range thermometer was reading 99°F. Humidity was a whopping 89%. That made the discomfort index 103.
The Schutzenmeister was walking around telling everyone there were easy targets this time around.
That brought smiles to many faces. If only they knew…..
Targets and Scores
At 25 yards the first target was Odds & Ends for 3 shots. Easy?? Mike Rodzianko hit the high score on the Soccer ball portion (and not much else) for First Place at 60. Trevor Evans was Second with 44 and Jim Ellis scored 42 for Third. Mike and Casey Rybak shared honors at Fourth with 35’s. But the prize was Casey’s.
Next was the Critters for 3 shots. Easy???? First Place went to Casey Rybak with 29 and a really nice target. (I’m seeing a pattern here—she out shot Mike) Second Place went to JP Sherkus with 27. Trevor Evans was right in there with 24 and Third. Jim Ellis was Fourth with 23.
Last was the Standing Buffalo for 5 shots. Tony Sucher scored 47 for First Place. Jim Ellis got Second with 46. Rob Capp was in Third with 42 and Mike Rodzianko took Fourth with 41.

Please, do not stock pile or delay handing in your targets. You have 3 of each. After you shoot your best score of the thee and score your own, turn it in so we can keep the score sheet current. All shots are from the free-standing, off-hand position. Shooting begins at 8 AM and ends at 12 PM.

Subject to change without notice—generally there are 5 targets, some requiring 5 shots, some only 3. Expect the unexpected and have a bundle of fun. Usually distances are 25 and 50 yards.
Usually does not mean always. :o) and our Schutzenmeister promises something “interesting”. Cue the evil laughter
Keep yer powder dry.
