(Both Jacob Greer and Hunter Greer shot excellent scores using a semi-automatic from a rest)

The February Match will be .22 target pistol.  Any .22 rimfire pistol may be used.  Non-magnifying optical sights may be used.  The course of fire is 10 shots in ten minutes slow fire and two strings of five shots in 10 seconds rapid fire.  The timed fire will not be fired to speed things up.  Shooters must use the formal one hand bulls eye firing position.  A five-minute sight in period will be allowed.

I would like to remind everyone that the last Saturday in May will be the date of a 300 yard high score benchrest match.  This is like the 100-yard hunter's benchrest match we shoot for a club match.  There will be two divisions.  One is for light rifle benchrest guns.  The other is for factory rifles.  This match was a lot of fun last year.  If you still have your light rifle from the old benchrest days here at the club, this is a good time to blow the rust out of the barrel.  It is also an excellent time to see what you can do with your varmint or long range hunting rifles in the factory division.  I believe the entry fee will be $15.00 for one gun or $25.00 for both.  Contact Marvin Gragg (828-295-9965) or Dave Richardson (336-372-5873) for more information.

Humphrey Hayes is going to step down from running the high-power matches.  The new match director will be Joe West.  Many thanks are due Humphrey for the excellent job he has done.  Also thanks are due to Joe for taking on the responsibility for match director for this discipline. 

This gives me a chance to get on my soapbox to bring attention to the other disciple directors and the hard work they do.  Tom Pitts, Morgan Shaw, and Randy Jones run the best trap program in the state.  (In my humble opinion.  I am not really interested in yours if you disagree,)  The same can be said for Gary Hoyle, Tom Bennett, and Sandy Hoyle (a.k.a. "The Denmother") for the I.D.P.A. discipline.  Most of us put in our five hours of work on the club and feel pretty good about ourselves.  If you multiply that five hours by about 100, you might approach the time each of these people put in to make the club better by the work they do.  They probably get a warm feeling about what they do too.  Unfortunately this is  sort of like wetting your pants in a dark suit.  A warm feeling, but nobody notices.  Thanks guys.
