Another great weather weekend in North Carolina and not much going on locally. Buckhorn shot their BIG50 Wednesday and Durham shoots this Saturday. I guess most folks are getting ready for the NC State Shoot in a few weeks.
I have posted the shoot scores from Buckhorns BIG50 and posted the program from the Durham County shoot this Saturday. Weather looks warm for Saturday with temps in the mid 90’s and no forecast for rain at this time.
Megan Smith shot at the BGC BIG50 Wednesday and found out the reason she missed the SC State was because she injured her ear drum with a q-tip. Evidently it caused problems with her equilibrium but should be good to go for NC.
Looks like Jimmy Wilson is on the mend and healing up ok. Not sure when he gets his stitches out, but it should be soon and then rehab. Horace Best is nursing a hurting wrist with arthritis. He managed to shoot two rounds, and he said the wrist wouldn’t tolerate 100 targets. He said he might be forced to just shoot 22’s.
The Alabama State shoot will be held this weekend at the South River Gun Club in Georgia. The Alabama Gun Club that hosted the state shoot in the past is being dismantled sad to say and a buyer couldn’t be found to carry on with operations. The Mathis brothers are attending the shoot, and I will be looking for them on the leader board.
VA shooter Art Bodell sent me a text asking about a parts vendor for his Ljutic shotgun. He mentioned that he discussed this with Lane Murray at the Brushy Mountain Gun Club last year. The vendor is Terry’s Gun Vault – www.terrysgunvault.com I asked Art to keep me posted on whether he was able to get a spring for his gun.
That will do it for this week and hope to see some of you at the NC State shoot. Hello to Scott, Ronnie, Cowboy, Tim, Bobby, Phil, Mac, John, Art, Barron, Mark C, Mark S, Dan, John W, Jimmy D, SPY2, HGIII, Thea and Anne and until next week……smokem
