I did not bring shame to the board.
« on: December 09, 2007, 06:47:16 AM »
Today was the SAMCC Annual Christmas shoot.  We fired a 6 round match and then shoot the Castle. This was followed by a club braai and the annuals awards.  I will have pictures from the shoot a bit later when I get them from the fellow taking the pictures.

But I must share this with you.  Not only did I take the trophy today for high shooter on handicap, but I also took the annual trophy for most  improved handicap.

     Good going!  Congratulations!!  Mike and I are having second thoughts about letting you shoot the Brooke at the Montana Shoot.  You might just out-shoot us with our own gun!  :o :o

Way to go!

Mike and Tracy

No , George, the Club Gun still lies in pieces on my dest trying o figure out how they  drilled the holes so I can give you the correct measurments.

I am shooting the 58 cal Continental Smooth bore I got from Colin.
