SALINE CREEK SILHOUETTE
GOLDONNA, LA
JUNE 20-21, 2015
BY: CHARLIE BRAUD
This turned out to be our busiest match since we first started shooting here earlier this year. Twelve people were in attendance and a total of 22 entries were fired. The sad news is that only a few we IHMSA scores. The reality is that attendance numbers are what keep local matches viable and towards that goal, I have started offering NRA 22LR Cowboy Silhouette and NRA Smallbore Hunter Pistol in addition to our IHMSA match. We also have an “Open Rifle” category. It has proved to be a plus so far. On the handgun side, Jay Clark is becoming the man to watch. He posted his second UAS 40X40 in the last two weeks and is now an International class shooter in that category. Congratulations Jay. The “Tear Jerker” award goes to Will Kirste in UAS who posted a 39X40 missing his last ram. His wife and “Team Kirste partner” Brenda fired a 36X40 in UAS. I continued my struggle with the Fifth Scale targets managing a 38X40 and then re-entered and got a 39X40, missing the first ram. In total, 6 IHMSA scores were fired and all the remaining entries except one were with a long gun. Thanks to all who helped run the match today and endured the intense heat, red bugs, and biting flies.
In other news, efforts are moving forward again to offer a Big Bore match once more for Louisiana. Updates on this as it develops.
