It was a clear, cold day with a light breeze. I don't know what
kept the rest away, but only four shooters showed up to join me for
the first bowling pin match of the year. There were a total of
sixteen guns, and this time I brought two revolvers.
That plan didn't work out so well.
First rounds went downrange about 8:20 on schedule, and we were finished before 11:00. I managed a come-from-behind win for Major over Jim Burnett. John Higgins won Minor against his only competitor, Jim, and then proceeded to beat me to be overall semi-auto champ. Jim redeemed himself by winning the revolver competition with his S&W .41 Magnum. (Note to self: practice hitting the pins.) Travis Higgins took the .22 class handily. The only competitor not to win a class was Rick Lavaty, but he won the random drawing and at least got his entry fee back plus a dollar, so everyone was a winner today.
Next month's match is February 12. Hope to see you there!
