Monday evening proved to be not only very cold but a blustery north wind that dropped the temp into the mid to high 20s. 10 brave souls decided to put the cold aside for a litle competition. Jim Richardson not only had the high score of 46/100 but also ran the first 25.
Bonus orange targets were taken by Jim Richardson, Rex Simpkins, Rob Kemp and Jacob Ruark. Jim Richardson came out on top of the shoot off and got his registration money back. Good shooting Jim. Charlie Muir 27 Jim Richardson 46 Eddie Moore 34 Rex Simpkins 42 Bill Birch 40 Brendan Birch 42 Bill Gordy 38 Gary Jackson 44 Rob Kemp 43 Jacob Ruark 41 This was the club's first 300 registered shoot. We had a total of 29 shooters from three different states in attendance. The weather did not fully cooperate as the shooters battled the elements of wind in excess of 25mph, rain, snow and little bit of hail towards the end of the day. The targets were very challenging to say the least. A total of 5600 targets were thrown with an unbelieveable hit ratio of 83.6%.
1st Round of Singles: 27 Shooters Junior Brendan Birch (Snow Hill, MD) and Vetran Gary Jackson (Salisbury, MD) tied with a 98/100. 2nd Round of Singles: 10 Shooters Dave Dulin (Annapolis, MD) had a lone 98/100. Overall High Shooter for the two hundred was Clay Floyd (Portsmouth, VA) with a 193/200. Handicap: 19 Shooters Steve Oman (Newport News, VA) from the 20yd line turned in an 87/100. High Overall Singles and Handicap was captured by Clay Floyd with a 277/300. Big thanks goes out to Debbie Farrow and her daughter Margaret for their administrative help which kept things running smoothly. Mike and Becky Ruark for manning the grill and the numerous desserts that Becky is known for. Tom Shockley for making sure the traps are mechanically sound. Last but not least are those club members that stepped up and did the scorekeeping and the loading of the traps....THANKS AGAIN. Junior shooter Jacob Ruark shot a 49/50 to get the bragging right for the next seven days. Good shooting young man.

A BIG Thank You goes out to Tom Shockley, Mike & Becky Ruark for the preparing, cooking and delivery of the sandwiches to the shooters. From what I could see there was not much batter as there were oysters. Thanks to all that gave us hand to get the traps filled and the score keeping done.

Great day with 11 shooters and looking forward to warmer weather from here on!

Once again, I thank all that helped with keeping the traps loaded, set up and close up, admin work and the grill.
Tom Morris came out on top with a 47/50. Don Pulver, Jacob Ruark, Charlie Muir, Cody Morris and John Lee all broke the bonus "orange target" for the shoot-off.

However, Junior Shooter Dylan Lee came out on top with a 47/50. Those youngsters with quick reflexes and sharp eyes are giving some of us older folk a little competition. Roger Webster, Jr came out on top of the shoot off with Bill Birch from the 27yd line. Thanks to Becky Ruark for manning the grill.
