| Various club shoots, 2008 | May 2008 - Richard, John G, Ed,John T, Dan and Mike enjoyed a beautiful May day at the range. Ed had to leave early due to a field fire at home! No club shoots this month, just fun shoots. |
 Everyone enjoyed a little lunch before the shoot. |
 John G takes aim at a small 25yd target group. |
 John T shoots and wishes we would have chosen a different target! |
 Richard thought he had his rifle sighted in. |
 Those targets were really small from the 25yd line! |
Top of Page | April 2008 - Richard, John G, Joe, John T, Ralph, and Mike enjoyed the first clear weekend with no snow at the range. It started chilly, but by the time the remainder of clean-up activities were done, it was a beautiful (but windy) day. The "old men" showed the kids how to shoot this month, with John T and John G taking tops in the club shoot. The squirrel and buffalo were tested and proved to be a lot of fun! |
 Ralph preps his flinter for the club shoot. |
 Good thing it wasn't a tough day. The shooters seemed pretty willing to take it easy and enjoy the great April weather. |
 With the Buffalo hung, we decided to give it a few practice runs. It didn't take long to get the timing down and make him swing. |
 After a few design issues, the squirrel was hung on Saturday. Sunday, the club fun shoot became the testing ground. One guide line was snapped, but the squirrel held up. John T and Ralph won the fun shoot, with John T being the only person to hit the squirrel on the run in competition. Ralph hit the release gong shooting a borrowed, recently-acquired .45 caliber percussion rifle. Hey, Ralph, want a second gun to complement your flinter? |

| March 2008 - Richard, John G, Joe, John T, Ed, Ralph, Dan and Mike enjoyed the first weekend with {almost} no snow at the range. It started chilly, but the hot shooting warmed up the day. The "shoot everyone else's target" shoot turned into more of a challenge than expected! |
 Ed and Richard step up to the line for the first shoot, 6 shots at 25 yards. |
 Joe ponders the recycling price for brass? That's not a period-correct load, Joe. Now we know why you're shooting so hot lately. |
 John brings his rifle in line. |
 Everyone loads up for the first shoot. |
 Somebody else brought a camera today. A rare photo of the photographer. |
 Richard takes aim. |
 Ralph hammers away with his smoothbore. |
 The first shoot was tough. Top score 58 out of 60 with 3 X's. |
 Range is open for the challenge shoot. |
 Ralph checks out the challenge shots. Each shooter took one shot on his target and 1 on each of the other's targets. A missed paper was an automatic 10 for the others, but a missed paper on your own was a zero. A 35 won! |
