Or even a tropical storm. Yes, Gentle Shooters, we sure did think about it, but no, we can’t play in the rain this weekend. See you in November. Steven

Gentle Shooters, We had a nice mix of veteran and new shooters at the match this month. Overcast conditions made shooting much more tolerable than expected for August. Thanks to all of our veteran shooters who pitched in with timing and scoring duties to get all of the competitors in and us off the range in a timely manner. Our next match is Labor Day Weekend Saturday September 3rd. until then, celebrate or weep over the scores below.

Gentle Shooters, How about attending a fun match this Saturday Morning. If you have never been to a bowling pin match, you have the opportunity to fix that this very Saturday, August 6th at 9:30. The matches are action packed and a lot of fun. Basically, you shoot full size bowling pins off a table with handguns at 25 feet with the shortest amount of time winning. There are reduced targets for .22 and we even shoot pistol caliber carbines. More information on the matches can be found here. The match is at the Airfield Shooting Club range in Wakefield. For directions, see our about page. For specific questions about our match, please email our resident adjunct chief assistant pinhead at [email protected]. See you Saturday, Steven

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.
