The New Years Day Shoot for 2013 is in the record books. Weather was peek a boo sun, cold and breezy making for an occasional low or high flying target. We shot skeet, trap, an elimination and 10ga backing up a smaller bore protection.
The elimination wound up with Bob Fabian and his NH against Glen Watts with a 12ga VH, it seemed like it would never end as both shooters missed a long string of 27 yard targets. Bob finally pointed his 10ga where it belonged and sent Glen to 2nd place (hey it's what short tens do).
In the 10ga backup a pair of great Parkers (and a couple of OK guys), John Dunkle shooting his great grandfathers AAHE trap gun and Frank Cronin shooting his 5 frame hammer 10ga with his signature ground shaking black powder 1 1/4 target loads, bested other 8 shooters. Including a pair of cheaters who snuck to the line with both of them having a 10ga.
Only a few shooters braved the cold and Scott Kittredge bested Bob Fabian (see cheater in above paragraph) for an overall high gun.
Pictures will be added here as I go shortly.
