We had 13 shooters for the August match of CHJC. Mother Nature decided to
give us something to think about.
We had a storm come through that managed to give a shower to those who took
shelter under the cover provided by Muggins and Angel.
Thank you Yakima for being my windbreak. I am sorry that you ended up so wet.
You, Muggins and Drummer did a good job of keeping me out of the major part
of the rain.
Deathrow did an excellent job of writing the stages even though he said he
had writers block.
We shot one stage with only 3 rounds in each pistol and rifle and one stage
with the normal 5 rounds in each pistol but only 5 rounds in the rifle.
This was quite fun. We also had a visit from the Three Stooges and had a little
singing.
Our last stage was the normal 5 rounds each pistol, 10 rounds in the rifle
and 4+ shotgun.
The shooting sequence was decided by the shooter with the only requirement
being that all targets had to be engaged.
Everyone had their own style of shooting these targets. I believe that I liked
the shooting sequence of Camp Cookie.
First let me tell you that there were 3 pistol targets, 3 rifle and 4 shotgun
targets.
He decided to shoot the targets in a 10 target sweep starting with his first
pistol 5 rounds and second pistol 5 rounds then rifle 10 rounds and the normal
4 shotgun.
With this sequence he shot at each target once with his pistols with misses
counted and then proceeded to engage
the rest of the targets with his rifle and shotgun to complete the stage.
His raw time was 55.66 with two misses. Great shooting Camp Cookie.
After the match we gathered at the home of Camp Cookie and Lizzie Marie for
a great time of socializing and great food.
Camp Cookie made beans, Salsa and BBQ'd Tri Tip (melt in your mouth) .
Flatnose did his beans and an awesome Raspberry/Apple Cobbler. Muggins and
Angel provided Guacamole.
Silverado did a new twist on Potato Salad by adding some jalapeno.
We also had Danish, Cookies, Brownies, Bundt Cake and for some a great Lemonade
courtesy of Lizzie Marie.
The lemonade being made with Vodka, Peach Schnapps, Margarita Mix and colored
with Cranberry juice.
Until word got around about the ingredients - everyone thought it was just
lemonade. Boy did they have a surprise.
Thanks to everyone for the good food. I believe everyone went home with full
bellies. I know I did.
