SDCML Shoot---12/18/11

Drop The Flag Shoot

Scores were a bit lower because some shooters were using smoothbores. Joe Jelinek was the exception. He shot a 17 with his smoothbore. That’s some good shooting.

Range Master's Note

At the December, 3rd Sunday match, (you missed a good one)

I was informed by the manager of Project 2000 that there have been a series of complaints lodged by an individual against the Range around a number of issues mostly around noise.  Lawyers and the County are now involved.

Due to these actions, the January match has been canceled, and the status of any future matches is questionable. The Board will contact you regarding any developments. In the mean time, I suggest you support Ron Major by attending his match at the Lemon Grove Club range held on the 3rd Sunday at 1pm.

The muzzleloaders always welcome newcomers, beginners and spectators that might be interested in this discipline. We provide very nice medals for first, second and third place. Each month there is a designated medallion target. The winner gets a nice medallion with the SBR&GC logo (unless they already received one for high point during the current year). Ron won the December medallion. Barb and Kurt sponsored the match. Chuck shot a flintlock and Trent shot a flintlock smoothbore.

Club Notes

Saturday the club set up a booth at Project 2000 to promote our club. This was a two day event. The Winchester truck was there along with other groups promoting their events. There were raffle prizes every hour both days and specials each day.

On Saturday, Doug Ruff and myself were there bright and early, set up my easy-up with the club banner and handed out flyers and gave advice. Chuck Neuneker relieved Doug in the afternoon. On Sunday. Rob Brandt and me were there early again and repeated the previous days efforts.
