Match of June 8, 2008

Now let’s see if I recall this right, April was windy, rainy and cold, May was sunny and hot so that must mean that June should be cold, rainy, sunny and hot. Well guess what, it was! The day started cold and rainy but we waited it out and it was well worth it.

We all know there was a lot going on over the weekend so we really appreciate ethe fact that everyone showed up. We even had some visitors from across the state, Trips and Chance Calhoun came in and put on quite a show. For you new shooters, Chance is the state champion, two years running. Speaking of the State Match, it is on June 20-22 in Enderlin, ND. This is going to be a lot of fun and I’m sure everyone is looking forward to it. To you new shooters, if you are looking for a weekend match to cut your teeth on, I really suggest “Bordertown” in East Grand Forks. You can check them out at http://www.egfgunclub.org/bordertown-shootout.htm or contact Brian Burkett at cowboy@egfgunclub.org. Their website has some really good pictures of last year’s match.

I’m going to take this moment to take care of some items related to our June 28th match:

Set up: we could really use help for set up the night before. Now I understand that making two trips to the range on one weekend is hard on gas, so we will meet at the Oasis on Friday, June 27th, in the west parking lot. This way, we can get as many people as possible to car pool.

We are serving lunch that day, if anyone would like to hlep out or bring something, that would be greatly appreciated. When I have cooked before I figured on feeding around 30 people. That many usually don’t show up but the rest of us eat enough to make up the difference.

Anyone interested in going to Belfield on Saturday, June 14th? I still have room in my vehicle.

You can get a hold of me by phone (701) 471-8344 or email me at peeric@btinet.net.

Just remember, you stop playing because you get old, you get old because you stop playing.
