The weather was pleasant with enough of a breeze to make it interesting and cool enough to keep the sweaters and jackets on for most of the day.<br />After the match, we held a short business meeting where we assessed our annual dues ($15) so that we could afford some targets which Mr. Lambert will procure.

This began four years ago when we were informed that the usual venue for our monthly match would be too crowded with hunters preparing for the fall season. Since several members have Zimmerstutzens but rarely have a chance to compete with them, I proposed the match and volunteered the venue--my back yard. Like other great venues named for geographical locations such as Creedmoor, Bisley, and Walnut Hill, our match was named for the lofty peak that towers above our little town. It was also an opportunity to be a little naughty.<br />For those unfamiliar with the Zimmerstutzen, it is a .17 caliber target rifle meant for indoor shooting. They were, in the years prior to WW I, quite popular in Germany and particularly Bavaria. Although sometimes hard to find, ammunition is still manufactured and imported into the US. This match is shot at fifteen meters or about fifty feet.<br />This year’s match, taking place after breakfast and a sight-in period, consisted of a five-shot “Luck” target with random numbers on the back, three ten-shot targets for the main match, a one-shot “Honor” target, and a “Vogel” (bird) target that is shot at by each competitor in turn until someone hits the bulls-eye. The winner of the last match becomes our Zimmerbixler King. A “sporting” match followed for those shooters with nerves of steel and money to risk while the targets were being scored.<br />Awards were presented when the shooting died down. Gloria Bell who, alas, also qualified for the consolation prize for last place, received a “medal” provided by Schuetzenbruder Ingo Laue from his new enterprise (www.ilkom.de). Lucky Bill Flint won the Luck match and a genuine 316L stainless steel four leaf clover. As if he needed any more luck. The engraved silver Mary’s Nipple Cup went to perennial Top Gun Gary Nelson, who might still have won if he had skipped a target. Ron Bell shot nearest to center on the Honor Target thus claiming it as his own. While not quite a work of art, it will be a nice souvenir as all the shooters signed their mark. The Vogel Target, mounted atop a thirty foot mast, was shot in reverse order. Unlike last year when shooting continued until the center of the target fell out, Paul Lambert hit the bulls-eye in the second round, setting off about forty grains of black powder and becoming Zimmerbixler King. He was crowned with a garland of ivy rather than laurel since this was our IV match, you see.<br />A fine buffet lunch followed the awards, elk roast and home-made apple pie provided by Paul.

To break the routine, we shot 20 shots at the bench targets and, to add some excitement, one of us double charged a few cases. What a riot. Our next match should be on July 11. The August match will be announced later as I expect our heroes to all be in New Mexico gathering glory for our club and frustrating our competitors.<br /><br />We discussed our hosting of the ISSA Regional. Paul did an outstanding job and has earned a star in the UTSS firmament. He has also earned a permanent position.

The first is a <a href="http://www.claytoncramer.com/gundefenseblog/blogger.html">blog</a> that is chock-a-block with inspirational accounts of ordinary folks. The other is <a href="http://rightwingvideo.com/?p=1737">video</a> and contains some naughtiness and may offend those of tender sensibilities but makes a compelling argument.

Some wind in the afternoon was surely a factor during the shoot at the Bird Target as it took our experts marksmen more than one try.<br /><br /><br />Eight Zimmerbixlers participated: Paul Lambert, Jon Spencer, Gaylord Smith, Gary Nelson, Gloria Bell, Ron Bell, Bill Flint, and Daryl Butler (not shown.)<br /><br />A <span style="font-style: italic;">Boeller</span> shot commenced the competition which was underway with forty minutes afterward.<br /><br />The first match, the Luck Match was won by lucky Ron Bell. The prize was a score enhancing target from the Parkenfarker Institute of Scientific Accuracy which, if used, should add points to his scores.<br /><br />Ron also won the engraved silver cup with his superior off-hand skills (and luck) in the thirty shot main match.<br /><br />While the scoring was being done, the shooters engaged in some sporting competition, shooting at an aspirin tablet at a dollar per shot. No accounting was done to see who the big winner was, but Gary could pay his bill afterwards.<br /><br />Bill Flint took home the framed honor target with a shot to the nine ring. Thanks to Gaylord for providing the target and frame as well as copies of it for the rest of us.<br /><br />The shooting for the title of Zimmerbixler King went until the seventy-second shot when Gaylord Smith knocked out the center. Originally, it was planned to have a little surprise accompany the winning center shot but, alas, the center was knocked out without the planned result. If HRH Smith fulfills his new duties faithfully, none of us will suffer thirst during the upcoming year.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Kein Kampf ohne Mampf</span>. When the shooting quieted down and the honors had been bestowed upon the winners, the feast began. Special thanks to the ladies who brought the food, especially Frau Spencer for doing the shopping and the planning and Gloria who not only competed but also helped with the preparation and also did most of the clean up. I mentioned above that Ron is lucky, didn't I?Utah Schuetzen Societyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15087454879009361661noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5858995648342490348.post-57416856203010606232008-09-10T22:30:00.004-06:002008-09-10T22:47:42.049-06:00Mary's Nipple Cup III<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNkB-2NsKPfe4Mhx9N9XqO_6TLsuZcp45_UCfl9zrvIWrfTgBfUKy1rOI0_OekA00219047qLRBNNhfREzI6zLPRjXNoMEIfD6iHSzRE3AITeltiAI3MpFXkCGylm-MGGj6EmJcxTcuwSP/s1600-h/de-by)2.gif"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNkB-2NsKPfe4Mhx9N9XqO_6TLsuZcp45_UCfl9zrvIWrfTgBfUKy1rOI0_OekA00219047qLRBNNhfREzI6zLPRjXNoMEIfD6iHSzRE3AITeltiAI3MpFXkCGylm-MGGj6EmJcxTcuwSP/s400/de-by)2.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244617103911559890" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="font-weight: bold; font-family: verdana; text-align: center;" class="deleteBody"><h2 class="postTitle" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">MNC III</h2> <p class="postBody" style="color: rgb(119, 119, 119);">Utah Schuetzen Society</p><p class="postBody" style="color: rgb(119, 119, 119);"> Mayfield Zimmerbixlers 2008 Mary’s Nipple Cup III</p><p class="postBody" style="color: rgb(119, 119, 119);"> September 20 Mayfield, Utah</p><p class="postBody" style="color: rgb(119, 119, 119);"> Matches</p><p class="postBody" style="color: rgb(119, 119, 119);"> Glückscheibe: Five shot “Luck Target” First place prize, a competition improvement kit from PISA® guaranteed to improve off-hand scores.<br /></p><p class="postBody" style="color: rgb(119, 119, 119);">Mary’s Nipple Cup: Thirty shots at 15 meters (49’3”) on standard zimmerstutzen target.

We were a little light on participants, Ron, Gloria, but had a good match. The weather was pleasant with the wind tricky enough to present a challenge to our usual meteorological gurus Paul and Gary. However, when all the powder and lead were spent, Paul came in first with a 865-4, Bill Flint next with 819-1, and Gary with an 814-4. It might be noted that the cash awards at our matches has increased twenty fold just this year.<br />We also had a little business meeting where we discussed next year's ISSA Rocky Mountain Regional which we are planning for the last weekend of May, 2009.

It has some interesting experiments especially in regards to rust. Allowing rust on a firearm is a mortal, not a venal, sin and like other sins, such as wearing a baseball cap backwards, should be avoided. Last week, on a day that it seemed that I had too much time on my hands, I took the barrel off my Stevens .40-65 to see if it would headspace correctly on my schuetzen. You know, there are days when wind is a problem. Well, it didn't but the loose Stevens threads apparently allow moisture in. I like to use WD-40 where I have used soapy water or Windex despite all the rude things said about it and have had good results up to now. I think that I will use Ballistol in the future and see if that isn't better.Utah Schuetzen Societyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15087454879009361661noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5858995648342490348.post-25689902652497907392008-05-12T05:44:00.004-06:002008-05-12T07:37:01.573-06:00May Match<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFEeoh7TV5avfEnLayipJDRA7vATnecBoBH85zfyTOdXh9Ui4Iy_ibgLnm8XzkPXpzI_fh4JWkWj8_Ov7khC1v0HNOtZKEAKWr8yBitzS7xOcRodOVOQ_FTXkzRtYaadgJmbYFp2Q_NlIu/s1600-h/100candles.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFEeoh7TV5avfEnLayipJDRA7vATnecBoBH85zfyTOdXh9Ui4Iy_ibgLnm8XzkPXpzI_fh4JWkWj8_Ov7khC1v0HNOtZKEAKWr8yBitzS7xOcRodOVOQ_FTXkzRtYaadgJmbYFp2Q_NlIu/s400/100candles.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199484256143933666" border="0" /></a><br /><br />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.<br /><br />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."<br /><br />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.Utah Schuetzen Societyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15087454879009361661noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5858995648342490348.post-52525241989362568102008-04-14T11:15:00.002-06:002008-04-14T11:20:23.995-06:00Jeff Cooper<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2WfLSQkBz6Ctt5v917tItFiWiT8ZdhQJ0AzlUzcrVQuf33Ee09a-GGJ2otVK8AGKB4WGXXaFnHXmhmr1KFm9ZTNQN5JvJfxgCfvhjk_nwiFQ1195bP7SC1qPivbdkjp86R4Fn3W_JO9UP/s1600-h/Coljeffcooper.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2WfLSQkBz6Ctt5v917tItFiWiT8ZdhQJ0AzlUzcrVQuf33Ee09a-GGJ2otVK8AGKB4WGXXaFnHXmhmr1KFm9ZTNQN5JvJfxgCfvhjk_nwiFQ1195bP7SC1qPivbdkjp86R4Fn3W_JO9UP/s400/Coljeffcooper.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189151687389069522" border="0" /></a><br />Have a few days to sit in front of the <a href="http://www.thesconce.com/">Time Hole</a>?

As I told anyone who would listen, the funds for this prize came from my own pocket. Not a small sacrifice for those who know me. As you may surmise from the photo, Paul Lambert was the champion and not only took home the medal but out shot everyone on the Honor Target. Our next match will be on the second Saturday of May. I want all you Scouts to be prepared!Utah Schuetzen Societyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15087454879009361661noreply@blogger.com0
