Markham Skeet Club

The Weather didn’t help the scores this month at the at the Back To School Open.  No 100’s and only one 99 (in the .410 – go figure).  There were some notable absences, like Todd and Wayne (Todd Richardson and Wayne Srour – who did you think I meant? J), and Chuck.  
(Rumor has it that Chuck will return to Markham next month with a new gun).  
The Trail Glades shooters showed up in force to support our shoot, and we should remember that when we get a chance to shoot at Trail Glades and support them.  Howard Sherman made the trip from Marco to shoot with us, and John Kurutz was up from the keys!  Thanks to all who attended.  We appreciate your patience.

Those present to collect awards on Sunday afternoon collected 2 boxes of ammo for Gun and Class Champ wins.  42 boxes were awarded in total, a minimum of 1 case of each gauge.  To those who left early, stay next time and pick up your winnings!  Sorry, but there is NO WAY to hold awards for those not present – no space and no time!  (Any volunteers for Awards Chairman?)

Over 6000 targets were thrown for 20+ shooters during the two day event. The west wind both days made for some “exciting” targets, and the occasional rain delay tested the concentration of the shooters.  While more than one shooter had a “bad” shoot, Peter Warwar turned in a spectacular tournament, winning every class he entered!    Eddy Rojas screwed up – he didn’t enter every event!  He was Gun or Class champ in every event he entered!  Congrats to Peter and Eddy!  Teddy Montoto turned in the highest single gun score of the shoot with a 99 in the .410!

Fred Gore took HOA honors. Just a few birds behind was Glen Rieske as Runner Up, and Steve Haynie took 3^rd .

Gun Champs were Eddy Rojas (12), Yvonne Williams (20), Steve Haynie (28), Teddy Montoto (410) and Eddy Rojas (Doubles- again!).

Class Champion Honors went to :
4 Class Winner Peter Warwar in 12, 20, 28, and .410 – way to go Peter!  Need help with that ammo?
3 Class Winner Glen Rieske in 12, 28, .410  
2 Class Winner Franscisco Fullana in 12, 28, (welcome back to shooting!)  
2 Class Winner Fred Gore in 20, 410,  
2 Class Winner Phil Campbell in 12, 410,  
2 Class Winner Albert Owler in 12, 28,  
1 Class Winner Eddy Rojas in .410,  
1 Class Winner Yvonne Williams in 28,  
1 Class Winner Derrick Lue in 20

Our next shoot,  October 4 & 5, 2003 , will feature awards of ammo for Gun Champs (12, 20, 28, 410), and Class Champs (A & above, B, C , D and under) .  Must be present to collect awards.  2 boxes per winner, per gauge, as available, Gun Champs are not Class Champs in the same gauge, all prizes do not have to be awarded.  1 case per gauge is available.

Starting with our November shoot, November 1^st and 2^nd, we will offer Trophies to Gun Champs (all guns) and Class Champs (except Doubles), as well as HOA, RU and 3^rd overall.  In addition, we will offer some ammo awards (the remaining supply), which will not be in every gun and class.  Again, unless we get an Awards Chairman, winners must be present Sunday afternoon to collect awards, as none can be held.

Sarv Kandhari has been kind enough to volunteer as Lunch Chairman for Saturday, Oct. 4^th.  This means NO PIZZA for lunch that day!  Celebrate the change that day with us!  Volunteer to run a lunch at a shoot, it’s not that hard and greatly appreciated by all – especially those that don’t like pizza!  All it takes is some time, and we have a “Thank You” gift for those that help!
