Pistol Pop-up Match
4/11/09
|
|
|
|
|
|
It was Saturday, Easter weekend a bright, sunny sky with temperatures in the upper 40s. 164 shooters from Ohio Michigan Indiana and even Illinois came out nad braved the early morning cold to do battle with those pesky pop up targets. A total of 41 relays were shot. While shooters patiently waited to take their turns on the targets they fueled themselves with hot dogs, hot chili and hot coffee to keep their energy levels high in preparation to shoot. Shooters were waiting to register before 0700! This year another new amenity was added, a tent to get out of the cold. As the day wore on, temperatures rose to a comfortable level. Interestingly, the pop-up shoots appear to becoming a family event! More and more families are coming out to shoot together! |

Some of the shooters waited by the bleachers.

|
 |
 |
|
|
| Here are this year's targets, red and blue just like on the rifle range. Some of them looked like they needed some TLC, though. |

| Here's Aug bro #1 trying his hand with a Beretta. |
|
|
|
 |
|
| Since it was family day, Aug bro #1 brought out his Augette, I mean daughter to shoot. She got that target! |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
| She did quite well with a cusotmized 1911. |
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
Here's another customized 1911.
|
|
 |
|
|
|

|
|
| There was the ususal assortment of firearms used. This shooter had his wheel gun ready to go with his speed loaders. |

Well, we had to do some target repairs.
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
| These guys were still waiting patiently from last fall's rifle match to shoot. Actually, they drove in from Chicago to shoot! |
|

|
|
|
|
| Here's one of the junior shooters trying his hand against the course for the first time. |

|
|
|
|
|
| Let's try this one handed! |
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
Like we said, you can use a .22 on this course.
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
| Got it! |
|
|
|
 |
|
| You're sure that's smokeless powder? |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
| Plenty of 1911s this year! How'd you do Roger? |
