Friends of NRA Banquet
Reece Stewart reports that the annual Friends banquet was held on Thursday, August 19th. It was a big success with a couple of hundred in attendance. Thanks to Reece and Sharon Stewart for heading up this event. Our members, James Day and Johnny Corbin, assisted with the event as well. Well done folks!
Annual Club Meetings
The next newsletter will be posted in October and it will contain the dates of the annual operations and key meetings. The operations meeting will be in November and the key meetings will be in January and February.
New Shooting Competitions
The details of the forthcoming Cowboy Action Shooting Matches will be announced soon. Keep checking the the club's webboard for more information.
A CMP Sporter Benchrest Match is scheduled for Labor Day morning (Monday, September 6, 2010). This is a quirky little benchrest match fired at just 25 yards with the CMP Sporter Match rules dictating the rifle and sights. Casual atmosphere - no match fee. It makes a nice introduction to BR shooting.
The First Annual Sheffield 22 Sporter Master Match will be held on October 30, 2010. This pentathlon will require a shooter to compete in all five of our regular rimfire rifle matches in one day. A single rifle, scope, and ammunition must be employed all day long to complete this challenging 150 round plus course of fire. A $5.00 fee will be collected and the 22 Sporter Master Trophy will be awarded to the shooter compiling the highest point total for the day. A detailed post about this event is located in the Rimfire Matches forum of the the club's webboard.
Passings
Our club director, David King, passed away earlier in the year. It was often repeated that David never left the range without leaving some improvement. A good friend and a fine shooting competitor, David is missed by many.
Our club director, Willie Rhodes, lost his mother in July. Willie and his brothers will miss their Mom greatly. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Willie.
A long time member, Korean War Veteran, and fine citizen of the Shoals Community passed this month. George Ellis lived a full and long life but his passing is mourned by friends and family.
Administrative Announcement
Our club president, Dwight Pilkilton, appointed John Butler to complete the late David King's term as club director.
