A Southern Side Trip

[C grade]

Fjelline is a great guy and a good friend. He was operating a backhoe and a piece of cement flew into and penetrated his eye. He has a chance of not losing the eye and should know in 10 days. His comment to me was"I am left eye domenent anyways and will just learn to shoot left handed". He was in his shop working on a gun yesterday, 2 days after a four hour eye surgery. Tough guy!!

Wow, I dont know Dave, but I have been an optometrist in a medical setting for 30+ years, and have seen alot of ocular trauma. Hopefully, there was not much retinal damage. Our prayers are with him!

On another note, I was at our local NRA banquet last night and was talking to a couple of sporting clays shooters who are very good. I have shot with them and they are often 90+/100. They are going to the Southern SXS for the first time also.They are not into vintage guns(yet), and I believe shoot Beretta sxs's. Maybe I can get them to jjoin us for a round at Deep River.

HArold perhaps they will join us at Drakes Lnding

I wish Dave the best with his eye. I am left eye dominate also and wouldn't want to learn to shoot left handed

You can't keep a good man down and Dave is a Good Guy!! If there's a way, he'll find it... all by himself. That guy is dependent on no man!.... but he is a friend and helpful to all.

Wow, really sorry to hear about Dave's eye. I hope he's able to make a full recovery.

Rich, the new course is something else. My Dad and I went out and shot it on opening day. Some really cool stations and the great target setting you're used too at Drake Landing. I know you're going to love it.

David, is that this coming Wednesday, or the Wednesday before the Southern?

You guys are lucky to be able to "practice" before Rich, Eric, hopefully Mark and I get there for our "competition" but rest assured that we will be loaded for bear after this dismal winter here in the north. Let the games begin!

It's getting close to spring....finally and time to start planning the activities at Drakes for Thursday April 24. I would like to get a head count of those who will shoot Thursday so we can plan for a lunch on the grounds. Dan said he would provide a meal at a nominal fee. Off the top of my head I count 15 or so shooters but lets be more accurate.

there will be lots of shooting on thursday so bring plenty of shells and a good appetite. Last years lunch was wonderfull.

I'll second Rich on the lunch, it was great... and remember there is really no shooting going on at Deep River on Thursday so come on and join the fun.... Dean, Larry, Jim, Dave, and anyone that shoots a SxS, it's before the DR shoot so please join the fun. It is really a great time and everyone is welcome, just no score cards, those are for Deep River....
