RIGHT ON TARGET
MAY, 2008
The first long range match of the year was held on May 10th. And as is so often the case, it got blown out. 6 shooters tried to fight it and made it thru the 800 yd stage of the palma match, then gave up. Scores as follows:
| 1. Freddy Haltom 139-1 | 4. Ted Scierocinski 138-0 | |
| 2. Mike Laughlin 138-6 | 5. Steve Jones 135-0 | |
| 3. Bryan Chatwell 138-2 | 6. Dick Vivian 111-1 |
Mike, Steve and Dick were shooting palma and the rest were shooting F-class. As you can see, it was a tough day!
Walt Garfield won the Roswell match held on the 17th and Ben foster was hi expert. Scores didn’t get turned in so I don’t have them to pass along. Jerry King is having health problems and isn’t able to run matches. If you get a chance, drop Jerry a note and wish him well.
Our first across the course league match at Capitan was the 24th. While it was fairly breezy all day long, including offhand (which kept scores down considerably) it wasn’t near as bad as the long range day! 9 shooters came out, which I guess isn’t bad considering what fuel prices are doing. It would sure be nice tho to see us get attendance back up into the upper teens. Ron Zerr was match winner, Walt Garfield first master, Rick Gage won the expert class and Mike Schwartz was first marksman. I think a good time was had by all. Scores as follows:
| 1. Ron Zerr 778-28 | 6. Mike Schwartz 624-4 | |
| 2. Walt Garfield 764-15 | 7. Dan Egan 584-6 | 3. Rick Gage 728-10 | 8. Don Field 587-5 |
| 4. David Crider 721-11 | 9. Tom Higdon 342-9 | |
| 5. Steve Jones 720-6 |
Last month I told you of club member Bob Helman’s passing and that there would be a list of firearms for sale. I will attach the list to the email this is sent with. John Van Marter is handling the sale of these guns and his contact info is on the list. There are a few guns that have no price on them and John admits to struggling to come up with a price. Contact him and discuss it with him if you are interested.
Hold hard and favor center,
Bill Rodolph, President
