A good start
February 7 Ozark Shooters MO - Missouri Winter Games - shot in very windy weather and took 5/5 in B class. Shot
Sunday when the wind died down and my score would have won by 5 targets. Everyone else shot on Sunday. Bad timing.
Feb 21-22 - Ozark Shooters MO - Not enough shooters for a punch bur scores overall are improving.
Mar 14-15 - Ozark Shooters MO - First shoot after a layoff for a Vacation Crusie, didn't handle hard targets on north
course well in cold weather.
Mar 22 - Ozark Shooters MO - Shot much better, highest average of the year ended up 3/8 in B class, missed some easy
ones and got fatigued shooting all 200 in one day.
Mar 27 - Claythorne Lodge, KS - Didn't go as there was a winter storm watch. Saved the vacation day for later in
the year and better weather.
April 18 - Birds Landing CA - Shot OK but should have done better. ended up 9th out of 15 in B class. tarvel schedule
has led to little practice time.
April 19 - Camanche Hills CA - Had fun shooting with the youth shooters. Still not shooting well but I was the
only B class shooter so it really didn't matter.
May 2 - Addieville East Farms RI Shot the prelim and ended up 9th out of 28 shooters. Not bad, had good stations
and some lack of focus. Teal station ate my lunch.
May 9 - Lower Wetumka AL - Hard targets set for state shoot practice. Ended up 2/3 in B class and missed a punch
by one target. Lost it on the first station where I dropped three easy quartering away targets.
May 16 - 17 - Ozark Shooters MO - Shot on a windy day and won B class on the north course by 5 targets! and earned my
3rd punch in B class! On the south course focus and keeping my head on the
stock were a problem.
June 6 - Indian River - FL - Close but no cigar. Missed winning B class by two targets. Ended up 2/8 no real problems
targets. Hit the long battue's well. Won a coffee mug! <LOL> no punches.
June 7 - Port Of the Islands - FL - Won B class but with only two in class no punch. Missed the HOA punch by three
targets. Shot by myself with clueless trappers. Earned lots of mosquito bites and three boxes of RIO shells.
June 13,14 - Ozark Shooters, MO - Shot well. Used up the RIO shells! <LOL> resulted in 2/5 on South side
and 1/3 on the North and earned my 4th punch. Now half way to my goal for
the year.
July 2-5 - Ozark Shooters MO - Fiocchi CUP - Although I only shot here one day due to family obligations I was able to
earn a punch in the 50 target 12 gauge event. So I now have 5 punches Three
more to go to A class!
July 18 - The Willows - Tunica, MS - Arkansas State Prelim - Drove 4 hours and drank coffee prior to shooting this prelim
event on my drive home from Leeds, AL - Ended up about mid pack in my class.
July 24-26 - River Hills MO - MO State Shoot - Shot well enough in the super sporting event to earn a punch. I
now have 6 punches. Two more to my goal for the year! Had mechanical problems
with my gun most of the weekend but still managed to place 6th in class in the Championship Main event shooting loaner guns.
Aug 15-16 - Ozark Shooters, MO - started out slow on the north side and ended up in 3rd place over there but shot a 93
for first place in B class and my 7th punch. I need to consider
a warm-up prior to shooting as I got stronger as I went along. I went straight on the last 4 stations on the south side!
I have now earned a punch in the last three shoots I have entered.
Aug. 29 - The Willows, MS.-Quail Unlimited - I shot poorly as I was focused more on trapping, scoring
and instructing the rest of the squad. I missed the lewis class by shooting one target too many.
Sept. 4-6 - Ozark Shooters, MO Friends of the NRA - Started out shooting poorly and uncomfortable, didn't shoot
well in the prelim or the 50 target 12 gauge event. After lunch shot the super sporting and shoot much better but
dropped 4 easy targets and ended up with a 42, 2 targets off the pace in B class. Ended up B2. borrowed Peggy's gun
and shot the 20 gauge event. It felt a bit wippy for me and I ended up with a 36 out of 50. Not bad for shooting with
a strange gun. On Sunday got squaded with Rick Mein and shot behind him on the squad and it got me through as I watched
and learned from him. I shot just well enough to win B class and to Punch up to A class!

end of year slump?

in A class. Was better focused and calm on a windy gusty day.
Nov. 17 - Gunsmoke, AR - I shot a 91 on a pretty fluffy course. Not sure yet what the rest of A class shot.
Nov. 18 - Locust Point - Lyndon, KS - I shot a 70 after a long drive and getting lost trying to find the range. It was
gusty winds and manual traps. Their old website has bad directions. I was the only shooter in A Class.

not focus on teh north course.
