Pistol Pop-up Match
3/26/16 |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Saturday March 3, 2016 was a clear, cool breezy day to do battle with the pop up targets. Temperatures were in the low 40's and the wind off the lake made a chilly spring day. We had 135 shooters attend shooting 43 relays for a toal of 427 times. Shooting started at 0900 and ran until 1515 (3:15PM) which made for another long day. A fairly large contingent from Michigan came down and a quite a few new shooters stopped by to try their hand as well as our regular shooters. The Capone boys came in from Chicago and both Aug Bros. showed up with their offspring! It was impressive to see folks signing up for 7, 8 and even 10 relays! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Ah yes, the registration line, waiting patiently to get squadded by the lovely and talented Gwen and Annette | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The line wrapped around the room!
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
By the control tower, waiting to shoot. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

All ready on the line!

This is what it's all about, getting all age groups behind the trigger! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
And of course, the ladies!
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Hey Steve, I thought in Chicago the sights were supposed to be on the side of the gun! Har-Har!!
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The ladies were well represented this Saturday! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Figured I'd give these guys some free advertising!

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Finally, one of the ROs gets to shoot! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Nothing like a .22 Ruger!
