With the weather gal threatening, correction make that promising rain all week long for this past Saturdays event my optimism was not real high. Having said that the morning dawned a little cloudy allowing the sun to break through early morning and then the sunshine hardly if ever left us. There were a total of 44 shooters in attendance which was down slightly from last year. By my count I lost 11 shooters to COVID and 2 to poor planning on their end. Hopefully we can get them all back next year and then some more. The PGCA was represented by 5 members.
We got things started with a shotgun start at 10:00AM. The course consisted of 12 stations (100 birds) and could be characterized as an almost perfect SxS course IMO. No really long shots, the trickery was in the pairs and the angles. Shooting concluded around the noon hour where we then enjoyed a fine lunch of pulled pork, potato salad, baked beans and homemade cookies from Catherine Smith who is the wife of member Brian Smith. God bless her as she has helped every year with the serving of food and cleaning up.
After lunch we took some time to look over the display guns that were dominated by Ole Reliable and then we drew for a nice selection of door prizes including rounds of sporting clays donated by Member Bobby Rowe of the Elk Creek Hunt Club, rounds of sporting at Tri County Coon Hunters (TCCH)donated by TCCH and The Hoosier SxS Classic, Bourbon from J&J Liquors and last but not least a variety of gift certificates and other items donated by Morris Baker of RST Classic Shotshells. A special thank you to all of the folks that donated door prizes.
Following is a few pics from the event. Let me caution you they are not good pics. You see I asked my brother to come out and snap a few pics of the event for me. Upon arrival I gave him a few instructions as to what I was after and how to use a basic point and shoot camera. I'm going to work with him a little before next years event. Should he fail to show progress he will be dismissed which would make both of us happy most certainly.
