The 2013 Watauga 800 target Iron Man and Glenn Miller Memorial shoots are a wrap.

Iron Man - Saturday July 27th

The Iron Man (300 Caps & 200 Doubles) guarantees some excitement and a long day and this year was no exception. The excitement started early with mother nature providing some thunderous booms and heavy downpours, to the point of scaring several folks that had driven up from the flat lands off the mountain before the first shot. Wish we could have caught them as they booked it out of the gate, to let them know that we have a saying in the mountains "if you don't like the weather, stick around for a few minutes and it will change". After a little over an hour delay the rain stopped and the first shots were fired, with an overall dry day except for rain very late in doubles.

We had 23 shooters participate in the events Saturday:

Champion: Jared Pettet 456x500
Runner up: Steve Watson 452x500

In addition to Jared and Steve, Bill Howe, Ivan Roten, Graham Roten and Marshal Roten also shot all 500 targets.

Glenn Miller Memorial - Sunday July 28th

We had a rinse and repeat of the early Saturday weather again on Sunday, but by 12:30 when the first shot was fired (respect for neighboring church) the 22 shooters that joined up experienced the beautiful mountain weather we are used to with blue skies, 75 degrees and a nice breeze for the remainder of the day.

Singles:
Champion Steve Watson 98
AA George Sudderth 88
A Jared Pettet 95
B Tom Shelley 87
C Cody Trivette 96
D Edward Tuttle 96
Sub Jr Emma Ward 96

George Ponton joined us both days on his quest to reach 100,000 registered Handicap targets. After the weekend he is now 400 away and may have a plan to hit it before the end of the 2013 shooting season. We wish him the best of luck....

Next Registered Shoot:
Our next shoot is August 24th with a 300 target program.
- Tom Pitts will be back from his fishing trip to Canada, which we all suspect is being paid for by Tom Shelley so he can get some state points in Tom's absence.
- You may get to see our new Gypsy that setup camp this weekend by the creek.
- Could be a whole new squad of release trigger shooters based on weekend comments

Finally a BIG BIG THANK YOU to all that shot with us and the people that helped make it a smooth couple of days.
