| April Match:
Nothing brings out the recluses like a classifier match
before the big matches of summer. All the regulars and
lots of people we haven’t seen in awhile. Twenty
seven shooters, some bringing a second gun that rounded
out the roster to thirty one. I think that’s a
Wheelburners club record. Displaying all the manners of
pigs at the trough Ron W. and Derek hogged up everything.
Overall first and second, first open, first limited and
all stage wins. So undignified was it that they both got
their snouts caught together and had to eat Far and Near
at the same time. What’s that you say?…Why yes
the sour grapes were tasty thank you. Art who should have
been rusty having not been out in awhile, wasn’t and
took third overall. Welcome to first time attendee Bill
Price who after picking up a flyer for the SWRRC at the
Sharpshooters range, located us on the internet. Special
thanks to Ron W. for getting the scores out so quickly.
He was somehow convinced to do them under the ridiculous
pretext that since the classifier sheets would have to go
to him eventually he might as well take them now. He must
have been delirious from his recent engorgement. The
stages: Accuracy Is Everything (CS-008) Two boxes
on the 180, five papers set up in an inverted W. Start in
the box of your choice. From the right box engage center

Many targets So Little Time (CS-011) Two boxes widely
spaced on the 180. Two papers associated with each and
three papers in the netherland between. Start in a box of
your choice and engage the two papers 3 rounds each.

from the second box engage the two papers three rounds
each. Mandatory reloads before changing arrays. Close
Quarter Drill (CS-012) Two papers right, two center

knows just how to pull your chain. Club Match: The next Wheelburners club match will be on May 1st. That’s a change from our normal schedule so mark your calendar.

He’s asking all Rich has been getting some inquiries those who are interested to mail him stating how many are wanted. Don’t worry, this is not your order. He’s merely trying to determine if there is enough interest to make an order economically viable. If so you’ll have a chance later to pick color, style, size, etc. Cost is determined by what you choose and how large the overall order is. Rich’s e-mail.
