And the Winners Are…

Arty Bartlett

The PebbleCreek Gun Club had another great season of some really good shooting. Paper targets, clay targets, and some good ol’ fashioned dueling … on the Dueling Tree of course!

25 Yard Rifle

1st: Tammy Wood, 196/4-X’s

2nd/3rd place tie: Scott Carnahan/Scott Wood, 191/2-X’s

1st: Scott Carnahan, 2nd: yours truly Arty Bartlett, 3rd: George Bulfon

Skeet Shooting: Ruffed Grouse simulation with clay targets. Those clays really do those squirrely-little-ruffed-grouse crazy moves! This competition is not for the faint of heart!

2nd: Mitch Counce, 37 hits

3rd: Dave Cousminer, 36 hits

PISTOL EXTRAVAGANZA, Paper Targets 10 Yards Rimfire

Coffee and donuts (another world famous tradition in our camp) enjoyed by all. Not a good strategy to have too much of either before trying to ‘calmly’ hit your targets but entirely up to you. I ‘might’ have tried to get some to overindulge but that’s just a rumor.

Final event in the PISTOL EXTRAVAGANZA…

The Big Guns Centerfire Dueling Tree!

Lots of shifty eyes check out the competition field to see Who beats Who on the Double Elimination Bracket. Nobody wants to appear nervous but beads of sweat were appearing on some faces. I am not mentioning names!

1st: Scott Carnahan, 2nd: John Shaner, 3rd: Tim Wahe

Trap Competition: Final competition with bright orange clay targets. You think the targets are so obvious that they would be easier to hit. They Are Not! Years of practice are key here and I just started a year ago. You won’t see my name in the winners circle … yet. SIGH. Look how close these winners are.
