ASCENSION SILHOUETTE
GONZALES, LA
FEB 1, 2015
BY: CHARLIE BRAUD

We had another light turnout this month because of threatening rain and it was Super Bowl Sunday. In spite of that we had a great time with the shooters on hand. Jay Clark joined us today and posted a couple of solid scores. Philip shot his usual 40X40 with his flop Ruger Charger. I struggled through the fifth scale targets for a 35X40 missing 5 turkeys. I just could not get those turkeys to fall. I guess I’ll have to wait a little longer in my quest for a 40X40 on the small critters. Next month we will hold our inaugural match on our second Louisiana venue, the new Saline Creek Silhouette range.

Charlie kindly omitted some info on my Practical Hunter Short Course 39x40 score, so I feel the need to "fess up". I have been shooting IHMSA for almost 35 years, and made a first-time mistake (at least for me). I jumped the "fire" command on my first turkey. Hit it dead-center too ! I guess it looked so good I had to go for it ! Anyway - hit 40x40 - score 39x40 !
