NEWS

We still do not have a Range Master.  We are having problems with overflowing trash cans, members not putting away equipment, and general messiness.  Please, everyone help to keep the range clean. If you see trash on the ground pick it up or it will blow all over the range.  Pick up and clean the toilets and clean up after yourself.    And by all means:  PICK UP AFTER YOURSELVES!!!

Life members:  I am working on the new membership cards.  I hope to have them done around the first of the year.

General Membership meetings are at 3:00 pm the first Sunday of every month.

LADIES TACTICAL SHOOTERS MATCH DECEMBER 27, 2008  It was a great day for shooting and we had seven shooters who weren't too exhausted from the holidays to tackle four stages.  We had a stage in the house and on the plate range for the first time and I think that everyone will agree that those little plates jump a lot.  The scores were close and congratulations to Sharon Goding for first place in the Sharpshooters and Holly Wilson for coming in first in Marksman.  All the ladies did great and used good, safe gun handling and had a great time.  Hope to see more ladies at the next match on January 24th at 10 am, so ask your family, friends, and neighbors out to shoot with the Ladies.   Sharpshooter Sharon Goding       ------     103.53 Sherry Bonds         ------     104.10 Ramona Cobb        ------     107.84 Marksman Holly Wilson          ------       93.71 Ashlee Cole            ------     133.56 Velma Kelly           ------     134.70 Julie Lewis             ------     165.5

IDPA DECEMBER 28, 2008 IDPA MULTI-GUN MATCH RESULTS  It was an absolutely beautiful day for shooting, even on the warm side.  Fourteen hardy souls showed up to shoot the IDPA Multi-Gun Match using the new standardized multi-gun rules.  Everyone agreed that the new rules worked great and we will continue to use them for future matches.  We shot five stages with a lot of movement and a lot of shooting.  We had three lady shooters, Sharon Goding, Wendy Johnson, and Ramona Cobb.  Ramona, who has been shooting the Ladies Tactical Matches, joined the ranks of IDPA and the Multi-Gun shooting and hung in there like a pro.  Thanks to Norman Stellner and David Turner for helping to set up and Wendy Johnson for registration.  Also thanks to John Johnson, Grady Wiggins, and Norman Stellner for helping RO the match.  Next month's match will be a regular IDPA pistol match ran by John Johnson and Grady Wiggins.        IDPA MONTHLY MATCH  MULTI-GUN December 28, 2008 STOCK SERVICE PISTOL EXPERT Gerald Bonds 147.34 1st SHARPSHOOTER Norman Stellner 262.48 1st MARKSMAN Bill Fordham 302.65 1st Randall Batson 316.27 2nd NOVICE Peter Veneziano Sr. 339.90 1st UNCLASSIFIED Wendy Johnson 299.08 1st Sharon Goding 327.10 2nd CUSTOM DEFENSE PISTOL SHARPSHOOTER Tom Disanto 218.40 1st MARKSMAN Matthew Silverman 176.34 1st NOVICE Peter Veneziano Jr. 262.84 1st UNCLASSIFIED Ramona Cobb 376.14 1st ENHANCED SERVICE PISTOL SHARPSHOOTER David Turner 142.76 1st MARKSMAN John Johnson 190.08 1st Grady Wiggins 225.15 2nd
