So, who won? How was the weather and the shooting conditions? Gator, missed seeing you and enjoying the view at the City Cafe but having a blast at the Rodger Parks Memorial with about 60 shooters in both HP and SB here in El Paso.
What color are the shirts this year?
Inquiring minds want to know.

We missed ya this year (and last). Match seemed to go well. News at noon.

Time = NOON

The match went pretty smoothly and had 48 entries but two no-shows on match day. I had turned a couple away the day before because the range was full. Total of 46 competed.

For the dinner, Broiled scallops at the City Café were exceptional as usual as was the behavior of most of the shooters. A little noisy at he table from SE Georgia but no cops.

"Grammy" Dale, Greg, Don and others worked on the range all winter and it looked great. Much simpler to shoot and move around on.

Target setters did a bang-up job once again.

Greg Hamilton is now Tennessee State Champion in both guns.

Drawings for numerous door prizes and free lunch and shirt. How great can the world be?

Have 3 more matches on the 4th Sunday of September, October and November.. Come see us in Chattanooga.

C ya

News at noon

WOW, Gator what did you do to make to the news at noon? Must have been the match to be at. We were nice and quiet here in El Paso, well mostly quiet, I've gotten at least one text this morning about someone having a hangover but I really think it was the adrenaline let down after doing a birthday song/dance for El Puma.
