And the Winner IS.....



Clint Richmond took the honors with a One Gun score of 268 2X. That's some mighty fine shootin', Clint. Clint is the proud new owner of a shiny new John Mouzon custom target pistol which he won for first prize. Look out!

The topic of our last meeting was, again, the 2010 South Carolina State Shoot. Rick Buxton has volunteered to measure up the range, inventory our supplies, and compile a list of needed materials. We have 1x4’s, will probably need some 4x4 for posts and 2x4 for general use.

Plaques and prizes (possibility of a Hucks or Rocky knife came up) are being considered; make sure your suggestions and ideas are communicated to the club. We will be scheduling a day for range repairs once the weather cools down. We will be organizing a scoring committee and calling for registration volunteers. Stay tuned for further developments.
