ASCENSION SILHOUETTE
GONZALES, LA
OCTOBER 5-6, 2019
BY: CHARLIE BRAUD

The Louisiana silhouette season came to a close with the completion of our State Championship match this weekend. The two day event was somewhat lightly attended but a good time was had by those who shared the range with us. My nephew Clay Marix had a good match. He shot a 40X40 in UAS and then tried the Fifth Scale targets for the very first time and entered a very respectable score of 30X40. My brother Philip once again was the man to beat. He entered four guns and except for shootoffs never missed a single target. Kayla Bonner and Clay Marix challenged him in the UAS shootoff. Though they each put forth a good effort, Philip came out on top. Clay had never been in a shootoff before and the Fifth Scale chickens at 100 are no easy task. He did well and, though he did come up a little short, he did not come up empty. We continue to pray for our injured Region 2 Director Allen Gaskin who could not be with us for this match because of his injury at the Internationals. Get well soon, brother. Many thanks go to all who shot with us this year. Your continued support keeps us going. I will post our Louisiana 2020 season schedule as soon as I can finalize the dates.

Charlie, Good to see the MD get some trigger time at the match.
Sometimes the smaller turnout just makes the competition tougher.
Some fine scores were posted for sure.
Must be some good genes in your family to see Philip and now your nephew shooing good scores.
I would say that was a great way to end the year.
Just make sure you all come back next year.
We all hope that Allen recovers and gives you some good competition for next year.
