Back at the range, Winter is over.

The range has recovered from the storms in the summer. A new wall is going up between the back pits and front pits.  I was out sunday doing a bit of shooting with the Glock 17 and the SKS. both ran well

Last match Sunday, Training, Oct match pic


Hi yall,

Another season is coming to a close. Our club got hit by a wall of water. Yet with the usual volunteers all was back in shape. My daughter is getting better at handguns. Ben Thompson made it to the World Shoots. In all ammo was plenty, no shortages, and Federal/Wally world now have a 100 rd box 9 mm under 20$.

To all those that hunt, be safe, be smart, Too many deer in MD.

Nov Match is a 4 classifier match and only one of the 4 stages has any no shoots and they are tight A zone shots. My practice today was at 30 feet with A zone split by 2 no shoots and a target angled on left.

Aug match, Earthquake, Floods, Sept match



Bit to catch up on:

August match, my first in 8 months went well shot about the 60% mark.
Pit 8 had the very fun Texas Star. My star did not shine today. (caught the flash)

Even with the rain, we had canopy cover and a big umbrella.

When Lee the storm came by the range is right next to cardorus creek. a 42 miles long creek. It overflowed it's banks ,worse than Agnes in 1972.
It cut 3 gullies in the roads, and left 6 inches of mud in the bays.

We were able to recover and had the Sept match on schedule. Sept match was a 4 stage pistol and 4 stage shotgun side match. On pistol I did worst then usual, but did come in 3rd on one stage.

Shotgun, my competition, Stahl had a pump that held 9 in tube, I could only hold 5. I still managed to stay close in time. he edged me out on 3 stages. I won the stage with the slugs out to 75 yards. In all another good day at the range.

See you on the range.
