2007 Dave Knapp Memorial
Club Championships
January 27th, 2007
A 50 Target per Event Tournament
Winkley Captures Club HOA Skeet Crown
Due to a scheduling error (reserving
January 28th for a Trap Tournament when in fact there was no Trap Tournament
that day), we were only able to plan a one day shoot for this years Club
Championships. This shortened program meant we'd have to opt for a format
change. We decided to shoot 50 Targets in each gauge for the Club Skeet
Championship and forego Doubles to ease scheduling. The Gauges were shot
12-20-28-410 order.
It was well attended with 18
participants (three new club members) and 3000 targets were thrown. These
numbers are good when you consider that I was not able to shoot, Glen Rieske was
not able to attend or shoot, none of our Miami members attended and no Doubles
were thrown. Great turn out for the local guys!
Prizes were awarded to HOA Champ,
Runner-Up and 3rd, HOA Class Champs, Gun Champs and Gun Class Champs. Prizes
consisted of Hoppe's Bore Snake Gun Cleaners in various gauges for the Gun
Champs and Ammo (20 gauge Remington STS) for the others. There was some mixing
and matching and most winners went away happy.
12 Gauge Event
It seems strange that the 12 Gauge at
our shoots is never the "average leader". Only one shooter managed a 50 - Gun
Champion David Winkley. There were no 49's in the big gun, and the lone 48
belonged to Chuck Fohlbrook (A1). Other class Champions were Steven Sagal (B1),
Zeke Walker (C1), and Jennifer Canfield (D1).
20 Gauge Event
The 20 Gauge Event was another "low
scoring" event lacking a single 50. A pair of 49's were posted by Mark O'Mara
and David Winkley, with O'Mara prevailing in the shoot-off for Gun Champ. Class
Champions were David Alexandrich (A1), David Winkley (B1), Doug Chapman (C1) and
Jennifer Canfield (D1).
28 Gauge Event
Once again the 28 Gauge Event was the
"average leader" at our tournament. Three 50's were posted: Chuck Farnham, Chuck
Fohlbrook and Mark O'Mara. There was no shoot-off, Chuck Farnham was MIA, and
Chuck Fohlbrook and Mark O'Mara settled it with a Coin Toss. Fohlbrook
demonstrated his skill at coin toss by winning the toss. Class Champs were
Winkley (AA1), O'Mara (A1), John Stewart (B1), Myles Spodak (C1) and Jennifer
Canfield (D1).
410
Event
Only one 50 was posted in the "little
gun", by Gun Champ David Winkley. Chuck Fohlbrook took A1 and John Stewart took
B1. C1 went to Tom Keipert, and D1 was once again Jennifer Canfield.
HOA Event
Only three targets separated the HOA
Champion David Winkley (195) from Runner Up Chuck Fohlbrook (192), and five more
to get to Third Place finisher Chuck Farnham (187). Class winners were Tom
Keipert (C1) and Jennifer Canfield (E1). Thanks to all who attended and made
this unusual tournament especially enjoyable.
Our Next Event..."The Teddy"
Our next shoot is not until March 3-4,
2007 due to all the shoots planned here at Markham and elsewhere. Hope to see
you at "The Teddy" where we will raise a donation for Teddy Montoto's son.
Please attend if you can!
