October 2nd Smoke Report

What a great weather weekend in North Carolina with cooler temps and minimal precipitation. The Dixie Grand is over and one shoot in NC this weekend at the Charlie Brown Gun Club.
The Dixie Grand ended Sunday and the weather and attendance was good. A couple of overcast and cool days led to a beautiful weekend. If you are interested in seeing all the winners from the shoot go to http://www.shootscorebard.com. The 2023 Doubles Champ is Tyler Honnold with a 99 and he also won the singles with a 200 straight. Michael Pobiega won the handicap on Sunday with a 97. HOA 966 and HAA 388 winner was Herbert Lewis from Kentucky.
It takes a ton of planning to host an event like this and hats off to the NCTA and the HOF for another great event. The grounds were immaculate, and the targets were great all week. With 16 traps in action and the wave in place the handicap was over at 1:10 Sunday. That left plenty of sunlight for the shootoffs for the handicap and the HAA. The next event scheduled for the homegrounds is the HOF in April 2024. Also, thanks to Tiffany Decker for taking pictures last week!
I forgot to mention that Tom Shelley is a gall bladder lighter and feeling much better. He showed up at the Dixie Saturday bearing fresh Alaska salmon from his last excursion. Always great to hear from Tom and hopefully he will be back to shooting real soon.
My spy way up North John Sandell is reporting great weather and leaves turning color. Always great to hear from John and prayers for him regarding some medical issues he is dealing with. His wife is also a good shot from what I hear from Dave Daily.
A big shoutout to RCGC shooter Mark Spoon and his 7 round shoot off for Vet RU after a 198 in the Saturday singles. He shot against William Natcher the owner of CAC in Pa that is a supplier of shotgun shooting supplies and targets like Crowe here in North Carolina.
One trap shoot this Saturday at the Charlie Brown Gun Club. BIG50 format and I have no other details. The gun club is a great place to shoot and it has been awhile since I have shot there.
Ok that is about it for this week, and I hope everyone has a great week. Hello to Scott, Ronnie, Cowboy, Tim, Bobby, Phil, Mac, Thea and Anne and until next week…….smokem
