Thank you to everyone who made the effort to come out today and shoot. The Major Waldron's Sportmans Association did well once again thanks to you all. A total of 56 rounds of either trap or skeet being shot.
Parker shooters in attendance were, myself, Scott Kittredge, Bill Janelle, John Dunkle, Bob Weeman, Bob Fabian, Frank Cronin, Austin Hogan, Robin Lewis, Dean Romig, Dave & Danny Suponski and Greg Miller. (If I missed somebody speak up).
Thanks to Bob Fabian, Robin Lewis and Bob Weeman we had some very yummy food for lunch. Bob Fabian's homemade mac and cheese with ham was the best mac and cheese I have ever had!
The informal 100 target program consisted of 50 trap targets, 25 skeet and 25 modern skeet. 12 Parker shooters completed the program. The reigning champ from 2009 and 2010 felt sorry for me and shot his last round of skeet left handed with his eyes closed leaving the door open for me to take Hi Gun with an 89, 2nd was Scott Kittredge, 83, 3rd Frank Cronin 72.
We also shot a modified Annie Oakley or Protection with 5 two man squads shooting from the 27 yard line. Each two man team was a 12ga shooting first with a 10ga shooter backing him up. The winning team was Austin Hogan 12ga and Frank Cronin 10ga (Fortunately for Austin, Frank had used up all his BP loads and then proceeded to beat me with my own reloads!)
Frank Cronin stole the show by shooting trap with a 12+ lb, 34" 5 frame 10ga hammergun and shooting 4 dram blackpowder 1 1/4 ounce loads. Standing anywhere near the trap line you could feel the ground shake each time he pulled the trigger.
A big thank you to John Dunkle who brought a most wonderful Parker Gun calendar door prize for each shooter.
The NH weather today was simply fantastic, bright sun and a high of 58 degrees, it just doesn't get much better than that for this time of year in NH.
A happy, healthy and prosperous 2011 to everyone involved!
