Steve Nelson took HOA over a field of 47 shooters with a score of 94.
He came. He shot. He went to work. If you blinked you missed him. Way
to go Steve. Nice score on a course that had some technical targets.
Runner Up honors were shared by Skip Peck and Paul DeVane with scores
of 90. These guys declined a chance to shoot off against each other,
declared a gentlemen's tie, and split the prize money for RU, M1 and
Vet 1 & 2. Interestingly, all three of the shooters with scores in the
90s walked the course. Great shooting guys.
A few credits for station ideas. Steve Smith, the
regular sporting clays Range Officer, dreamed up the rabbit jumping
off of the Roman aqueduct structure (Conrad Darby says it was a bad
dream, by a sick, twisted mind). It was fun and unexpected to see a
rabbit jumping up out of 5 foot tall palmettos.
Dan Braswell, our lovable, mechanically inclined, evil genius,
conceived and set up station 4 with the camouflaged trap target on
steroids and the disappearing into a speck in the heavens midi teal.
It really looked intimidating, but it was deceiving in that both
targets took almost no lead. You basically just shot right at them,
even though they were a mile away. (Well it seemed like a mile).
Great ideas and execution Steve and Dan.
The true pair of a curling going away midi and crossing chandelle was
inspired by John Woolley and some of the targets he throws at Yulee
Shotgun Sports up at Amelia Island.
A few thanks to the other people who help us put on our shoots. Chelle
Obanion does registration, handles the money and helps with the
results. The physical labor of setting the course (we reset it
completely beginning Fri. at 1 p.m. until whenever to allow for Friday
morning shooting) was performed by yours truly, Chris, Steve, Kevin
(from down yonder on the trap field) and Dan. Desert is served by my
wife, Elizabeth Wilson, who gets my special thanks for making and
bringing the treats.
The tournament course will be left at least through Wednesday and
possibly Friday morning. We have a fun shoot next week-end. Also, Don
Webster, our manager, has come up with a flyer of stations that you
can shoot if you want to shoot an easy 50 (for beginners) and
intermediate 100 (more difficult but avoiding the hardest stations)
and a regular competition type 100 (for those shooters who want a
little more difficult and technical targets)
And thanks to all the shooters who attended the shoots. We appreciate
your attendance and welcome your comments.
Thanks,
Mark Wilson
