We had a fantastic evening, several new shooters joined us and the range was full. Even my son-in-law was there with a friend of his and one of the shooters was there with his full auto M16/AR15 having a great time with his friends.
After we finished shooting we all got together in the training room to score targets and discuss shooting. I think everyone had a great time.
Well here are the results of tonights shoot.
David Hersh got first place with a 240 in 45 cal. and a 231 in 22cal. and can get his prize next time he is in the store, just see Karen or Gary Burge.
John Wilson shot a 233 and a 205 in 22 cal. and took second place.
Rob Voland shot a 207 in 9mm and a 204-1X in 45 cal. and took third place.
Wallace Pulley shot a 178 and a 155-1X in 9mm.
Jeremy Hinds shot a 140 and a 110 in 45 cal.
Paul Stroud shot a 110 in 22 cal. and an 88 in 9mm.
And Jason Whitaker shot a 82 in 9mm.
Great job everybody, hope to see you all next week.

Hi everybody;
We had another good shoot in a nice warm range tonight, it was 8 degrees outside but cozy inside.

Everyone had a good time.

Jeremy Hinds took second place with a 159-1X and a 138 shooting a .45
Rich Hughes shot a 93 with a .22
Bob Behme (I hope I got that right) shot a 60 and a 57 in 9mm

Unfortunately yes. The range is closed from Tuesday 28th of January through Friday 31st for our yearly maintenance and the mining of lead out of the burm. The range will reopen for shooting on Saturday February 1st. The retail store will be open during this period. Thank you Greg
No, no shoot tonight, 1/28/14. I was down there just a little while ago and they are hard at work cleaning the range down.
They (hope) to have it back open by the weekend but no promises until they see how well it goes in the next few days.
But you can see Greg's reply above.

Snow, snow, snow. I got back in town to late to post any cancellation of last nights shoot so I was able to leave work early and make it over to the range on time just in case any of you guys had less sense than I did.
Well it was worth it after all, there was one new fellow there and we had a good time talking about shooting and I had him use my sand bags to get an idea of where his handguns were shooting, his Glock 40 did great so he will probably use it next week after some dry fire practice at home.
Well I hear the range clean out went very well, I'm told they recovered 20,000 pounds of lead and copper jackets out of the backstop. Wow! Really it shouldn't be surprising though after a year of use.
I did a quick calculation of 20,000 pounds times 7000 grains per pound equals 140,000,000 million grains divided by an average of 125 grains per projectile and came up with 1,120,000 rounds fired. Greg said that was pretty close because they counted every round.................Nah, they didn't. LOL. Anyway, the range is good for another year.
BTW, I hear it cost them about $18,000.00 (or close to a dollar a pound) to have it cleaned out, so if you think indoor range shooting is expensive on your end just think about paying for the clean out and maintenance on their end.
Well anyway, it was a good evening snow and all.
See you all next week if you can dig out.

2/11/14- Wow! We had a great night tonight. The range was full and so was the parking lot, people were parked on the North and South lots when I got there and I had to wait untill someone left to get one myself.
We had several new shooters with us tonight and they did a great job for their first try at friendly competition and as usual it was warm and cozy in the range.
I'll have to admit I had a hard time keeping my mind on any one thing because so much was going on.
Well, on to the results.
David Hersh took first place tonight with a 245-1X and a 212 shooting .22
and wins a box of ammo, not sure of the caliber.
John Wilson took second place with 225-2X and a 167 in .22cal.
Rob Voland was third with 218-2X and 212 in .22 cal.
Jake Martens shot a 218 and 210-2X in .40 cal.
William Pully shot a 167 and 154 in 9mm.
Pepper Jackson shot a 160-1X and 149-1X in .45 cal.
Jeremy Hinds shot a 134 and 88.
Paul Stroud shot a 128 and 108 in 9mm.
Bob Behme shot a 94 and 84 in 9mm.
I could swear we had 10 shooters tonight but I only have 9 scores so either I missed one somehow or they took their targets with them.
Well we had a good time any way, see you all next week.

Trust me, you did not miss out on anything not meeting Jake.
He's not from Silver Creek but he is the Section Coordinator.

Bob's right I can't think of anyone that has ever had the "pleasure" of meeting me, it usually is a pretty big let downTrust me, you did not miss out on anything not meeting Jake.

Yeah, she's the one I couldn't find, I didn't know her name though. I thought maybe she took her targets with her.
I'll have to check at the store today and see what happened to her targets and get her score posted if I can find them.

I completely forgot. Getting there in time will probably be an issue anyway.
Trust me. Bob is right.
Trust me. Bob is right.
Kinda easy for me to remember that's my wife's name.
