Greetings Gentle Shooters, I’d like to apologize for the tardy scores this month. The hotel I was staying at over the weekend had a broken printer. The screen on my laptop is pretty small, so I was not able to compile the scores until this evening when I arrived home. I’d like to point out that we have yet another record for lowest all time carbine string at 2.24 seconds. I am getting tired of having to congratulate Mr. Schoner month after month. Art, can you get under two seconds and end this madness?

Greetings Gentle Shooters, Verizon Fios has resurrected my internet service and so now you may have your match results. Congratulations to Dale Mullin on taking his first five gun aggregate win. I’d like to point out that we actually had a tie for second place in Major this month. I don’t remember a tie ever before. We certainly didn’t know about the tie at the end of the match, so there can’t be an Olympic moment where folks joyously share the silver medal. Besides, we are Americans and there have to winners! Well it is my circus so it’s my monkey and by decree, the winner is Brian Howell. His fastest string was almost a half second faster than the loser.

Greetings Gentle Shooters, Sometimes a pinhead, like a pin itself, is knocked down but not completely out. In this case, they are still able to deliver results. Art would be crestfallen if I didn’t mention he set another record with his carbine. You know this isn’t going to happen every single month, right? For the rest of us, there is always August. The scores are below and we will reconvene next month.
