Markham Skeet Club

 “THE DUKE” May 15^th & 16^th at Markham Skeet was wet, dry, windy and calm - well, not calm. Our turn out was typical for this time of year - 11 shooters per day shot a total of 3500 targets. Honoring the memory of John Wayne, an American Hero, Chuck Farnham won the US Mint medal. (A replica medal, struck at the US Mint, of the Congressional Gold Medal awarded to John Wayne's family, was the special HOA prize.)

We also had several new members of the NSSA and MST&SC join at this shoot, so welcome them to our sport!

Sunday Lunch was sponsored by Steven Sagal and
Worldwide Communications,
 featuring Uncle Al's chicken wings and fries and a terrific birthday cake celebrating Teddy Brooks 10th birthday.  Many thanks to Steve for his generosity!

RESULTS
 

(Due to time, weather and fatigue, we did not have Doubles competition this time.)
 

Chuck Farnham "circled his wagon" and braved the wind to wrap up Gun Championships in 20 gauge and the .410, the Runner Up in 12 gauge
(and lost the Gun Champ in the 28 only on the tie-breaker)
to win the High Over All.
Other Gun Champs were Steve Haynie in the 28 gauge squeaking out in the tie-breaker, and Jim Vahey in the 12 gauge.  Jim was able to maintain his concentration in spite of a prolonged rain delay half way through the round.  That delay gave us a chance to compare standing and it was a close race between Sagal, Rieske, Vahey, Haynie and Mindock at the halfway mark.

Class Championships and RU/3rds went to:

 Glen Rieske in all 4 gauges and HOA
Steven Sagal in all 4 gauges and HOA
Steve Haynie in 20 and HOA
John Mindock in .410 and HOA
Fred Adrio in 20 gauge
Geoffrey Peters in 12 gauge
and
Steven Vensel in 12 gauge
