Dean-O,

You really need to spend a few hours on Ancestry.com. Whenever I see that infamous "hat trick" photo, one image comes to mind. A distant relative perhaps or a scion to the stars?

Well 2015 was rung in today with some Parker's, and Elsie and Lefever or two. In attendance; Scott Kittredge, Dean Romig, Bill Janelle, Herb Hewlett, Allan Mclane, Robin Lewis, Rick Weik, Glenn Watts, Frank Cronin, Dave Suponski and myself. We were joined by some other non PGCA double gun shooters and a handful of club regulars in the morning. Temperatures were in the high teens when we started and just enough wind to make the skeet targets jump and dive at the wrong time. We shot both trap and skeet, on the trap range we suffered through Frank's booming BP loads out of his 5 frame 10 ga. Six of us shot a 10 backing up a 12 ga protection. I think Frank and Dean were the winning team but they could not keep count at each station and they shot at 30+ targets which sort of gave them an advantage. We all enjoyed some Billy Chili at lunch time as Bill brought a big slow cooker full of Venison Chili for all of us and Herb treated us to donuts in the AM.

Pictured are Frank Cronin and Dean Romig on the Skeet Field.

Was it windy enough to blow Dean's hat off?

I remember that! I couldn't believe I missed that bird.... my only miss of the day as you can see by my expression of incredulity.....


Rick, I didn't wear a hat all day... that I remember.

Scott K. shooting trap, Robin, Dean and Herb chatting in the club house, Frank increasing his carbon footprint with every shot and the only thing missing in the back of Scott's truck was a sign that said Yard Sale.

Lunch break for Billy Chili, Herb Hewlett shooting trap, and a motley crew of PGCA members shooting trap. I just noticed in the last picture Bill is turning to Scott to get some shooting tips yet again.
