2017 Central Pa SxS shoot
 

Boy, it's hard to believe this will be the 11th year. Will the special SC event be open to all shooters or just us SxS guys? See you all there.

The special sporting clays event is only open to SxS shooters. All SxS guns are allowed, not restricted to any manufacturer. Gary Laudermilch has informed me that his team is no longer active. I'll find another local SCTP team or perhaps a PGCA member can recommend a team.

Chuck - What is "Looney Lewis"? Am looking for a better way to divide up our pot at our charity shoot.

Thx.

Big D, the Looney Lewis is pretty simple. Break down the Looney just like a regular Lewis. Then you draw a number from 1 to 100 until it matches one of the scores in the Looney. That score then is 1st place class 1 Looney and the rest of the scores follow in line from the next lowest score back to the highest and down to the next highest score above the chosen number.

Lets say you have 10 scores-

90
87
85
80
75
72
66
60
54
37

You then draw a #66, the Looney goes like this-

66
60
54
37
90
87
85
80
75
72

It's just an even more random way to score and pay a Lewis Class. We came up with that years ago at Rock Mountain and it gets just as much play as the regular Lewis Class. Most guys like it because the HOA shooter does not always win the Looney too.

I have an MBA in mathematical problem solving from Wharton, and that makes my head hurt!

John, I kind of borrowed "Loony Lewis" from Mr. Koneski but I don't do the special event like Mike does. He tried to explain it to me and my head started hurting too. Mike has his first class picked at random, then follows the normal way a Lewis is figured (I think). My way takes the figuring out completly. The top score gets 25% of the total. I have 20 ping pong balls, 2 are labeled 0, 2 are labeled 1, and the same up to 9. I pick 1 ball, that is the first digit, then pick a second ball and that is the second digit. That number represents a score and if it matches a score posted, he gets 25%. I do this 2x more times if I pay out 3 places plus the high score. Sometimes it takes time pulling balls until I hit a score that was shot but it's pretty easy. The system works assuming no one shoots 100 x 100.

Yeahhhh, it sure sounds that way your eminence!! :eek::eek:

Schroedinger's equation is less complex than that labyrinth of yours!!
(Add to that, that a guy named Koneski is credited with the formation of a complex, mathematical formula!!! :rotf::rotf: :crying:

I don't know pal, but it sounds to me like you have one too many balllzzz in the air???? :whistle::whistle:

Great balls of fire Tool Man:banghead: I'm not surprised that a man with your IQ wouldn't be able to understand it:rotf:

Two and a half weeks to go so I'm bringing it to the top. Lambs Creek is no longer running so we are substituting the Youth Hunter Education Club of Bradford Co.

Planning on bringing a buddy down for the shoot.

Mike, will you be trying out for Team Parker at the Southern?





.

Glad your coming down Mike. I haven't heard from Frank, he usually comes if he doesn't have something else on his calendar.

Looks like the 5 stand will be running. Practice for the Southern!

Frank will not be attending. I will be there, need to shoot Daryl's 16 Parker so I'm dialed in for the 16g Challenge. I will not miss out on the Parker-Smith main challenge this year. That was embarrassing missing the cut by 1 bird. I will spend more time on the Challenge than shooting so many events on the course. Just started to practice today (3/30). Didn't shoot all winter. Too busy with running things and getting my .308 varmint loads right. Dr. John will not be high Parker shooter this year.

What say you, Dr. John?





.

It'll be like Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday all over again!!!

Looks like the weather should be good for the shoot tomorrow. 5-6 shooters from Rural Sportsman's (Trexlertown) will be there.

See you there Scott.

Great time at the Central PA shoot today! Good weather, super course, and great SxS folks! Oh, and the honey granola pie - out of this world. I could do this every week. Thank you.

Good time shooting with the guys today. It was fun shooting a couple different guns. Love those 16g Parkers!! Thanks Daryl!! The targets today will make the targets at Deep River look like cream puffs. :)

We all could have used some cream puffs today could'nt we? Thanks to the Letter Meister Chuck for a good shoot. I know you'll do those 16 Parkers justice Mike. Bring home the bacon pal.

My thanks to all who came out today. It was sunny but with a constant 15-20 MPH wind and temps in the 40's, it was cold for my old bones! I'll try and post some pictures tomorrow.

There were a total of 47 SxS shooters and 16 played the optional event. The Youth Hunter Education Club of Bradford Pa. will be receiving $160.00. Jent Mitchell was high gun in the optional event and received $40.00. The other 3 shooters in the event receiving money were J.D. Shank, Ross Steinhauer, and Bob Rambler. They too received $40.00 each.

See you next year,
Chuck
