Last night the weather went to 9 and 22. Not much 9 but lots of 22 gusts. Some guys really overcame adversity. Kevin Dufford arrived at the match only to discover one of his new tires installed yesterday was flat. Really flat. Did not bother Kevin as he won the small group at 400 yd's in wild wind with a group slightly over 1.5 in. 400 yards sorted out the field although the tiny 10 half ring at 100 put the hurt on a lot of guys and ladies at the closet target of the match. Back in the winners circle today with a 191 in Custom was Jeremiah Keefe. As an indication of the gusting switching crazy wind today it usually takes around 200 or more to win. Jeremiah has his new proprietary 30 case cooking. Tied with a lowly 186 for second were 3 shooters. Gene Delp, Steve Kaffana, and Jack Balon. The rest of us mere mortals......cannon coder. Ed Rethi as the lone Factory shooter was first.....and last. But hey, he took home money, I didn't. It was good to see Peggy Yonkosy and Al Croft today. Thanks to all who attended and helped.

We hosted the 2nd "Anderson Creek Sportsman's Tack Driver Lite" match on Sunday, 7/28. 48 competitors competed in some of the most challenging conditions some had ever seen. The only weather they didn't see was snow. Shooters came from as far away as North Carolina.
The overall winner, with a $500 payday, was Mike Hagan of Rimersburg. Second place went to Ebensburg's Jack Balon. Bob Horton, of Windburn, took third place. The smallest group of the day went to Art Engleka, of Rockwood PA, with a 5 shot group at 300 yards that measured .360".

Snake Excursion
New member, Jason Gill, went on a rattle snake excursion today, I'd say he found them. He estimated there were 25 on the rock ledge.
