May Match



Saturday we held our Mother's Day/Pentecost rifle match. The weather was clear, cool, and with a steady breeze from the north. Attendance was low as some shooters likely and mistakenly confused family obligations with their duty to The Family of Man. We shot our usual forty round match and, as usual Gary was hard to beat. He came in first with an 845, Gloria was next with an 815, and Ron third with an 811. Ron shot an impressive ASB target with a 245-6. Bench scores were pretty good as my 238 in the ASB match was only good enough for last place.

Gary also won the "King Match" but it required the fetching of the calipers to make his win over Gloria official. As our late and lamented comrade Dale used to say, "If it were easy, girls would be doing it."

Our next match will be in June at Promontory in conjunction with the Buffalo Match. Since I have duties that will be taking me away, I'll leave the organizational details to Schuetzenmeister Gary.
