ir 5050 unlimited nationals at fairchance gun club june 20-21

well it's that time of year again. we're going to have
the ir 50/50 unlimited nationals at fairchance shortly.
we're going to have an unlimited 3 target soty match on
friday the 19th at 5pm, i spoke with clint he's coming up
and should be there all day friday and evening. the match
will be done by 7pm and there is usually some nice calm
conditions to test ammo around 7pm, it stays daylight until
around 930pm. so if people find some good lots there should
be some great scores shot on saturday and sunday. the matches
on saturday start at 9am. i'm not sure how many relays,
depends upon the shooters. i've been calling around for bench
door prizes and it looks pretty good so far, i have some more
calls to make tomorrow, but everyone has been fairly generous.
so far a half price certificate for a stiller action, i think four or five
half price on barrels, a stith rough stock and 100 dollars off on a pappas
rest and another 100 off on a peightal rough stock. thanks everyone
we really do appreciate it, i'll update the list as it grows. thanks.

 

[Tom C.]

hart barrels is doing a half barrel certificate.

and any action from diorio manufacturing of your choice, 2 or 3 lug turbo.
and a stock from don stith rough blank.

[Tom C.]

we also have a jeff matthews knife that looks great
thanks jeff for the donation. jeff did this last year. very nice work.
and kelblys said to put them down for a hundred dollar gift certificate.

[Tom C.]

today i've got a harrells tuner coming, and a certificate
for a set of rings from allan hall. thanks guys, i guess
lynwood retired and his brothers son in law chris is
doing the work now. they said lynwood is still in and out
all day long.

 

[Tom C.]

gene davis just called and is giving us a certificate for 50 dollars
worth of goods or work at his shop. thanks gene.

 

[Fatback]

I want to come but I don't know if my back will take the ride. I had back surgery May 11, 2015 and I am still recovering. In case I don't, thank you for all the effort that Fairchance Gun Club puts forth when holding a match. No better prizes in the game, no better food, no bigger challenge to shoot and no better friends to shoot beside.
Sam Saunders

 

[Tom C.]

thanks sam, don told me he didn't think you'd make it. hope you
get to feeling better soon. i'd give it a chance to heal there'll be
other matches. we'll miss you, you usually give a pretty good accounting
of yourself here too. we have a pretty good core group here.

 

[Tom C.]

i got the half price certificate from stiller and the 100 dollar certificate
from kelblys. thanks guys.

 

[Tom C.]

it could be an interesting weekend, make sure you
bring your heavy duty hi mph windflags. looks like

[Tom C.]

all the time. in case you get here early.

 

[Tom C.]

well i've got all the certificates lined up. i just need to get
one from douglas barrels hopefully, and they'll all be covered.
tim north at broughton upped his to a full free barrel from a half.
thank you tim, that's very generous. i talked to clint he'll be there
in the morning along with clemmie.

 

[Tom C.]

we got the half off on the douglas barrel and two bricks
of tenex donated by john prince. thanks john and douglas barrels.
i was thinking we're going to have enough prizes, everyone
has a good chance of getting something. ken camper and bill buskey
and bob finger pulled up a little while ago. clint's all set up
and selling ammo, he has a lot of it. i just bought up my
allotment for the year from him.

the three target unlimited soty match went off well, a little twitchy winds finally
calmed down some on the last target. humidity was up to 88% really muggy at
times during the match, it drizzeled some rain for part of it. here's the scores,

and a pic of the mountain line to the east with the fog rising up through the trees after the rain.

and went all day and the guys just shot through it.
some pics of the range.at times no wind, then a little gust might get you. temps were around 76-80f humidty up to 90%.

then we had these little visitors, i guess they're called billbugs, they look just like a tick
but they're not. the wind was blowing them all over, i guess they're attracted to bright colors.
they were on the windflags, the target boards, on anything yellow especially.

i'd like to thank all the donors of the gifts, we really do
appreciate it. i'd like also to thank jerry vansickle who
range mastered so i could shoot. bill reahard and steve
ganoe and gary hittie for covering the scoring. i think
saturday and sunday no protests were won. great scorers.
i'd like also to thank all the shooters who came out in what
looked to be a pretty miserable weekend, and it mostly was.
humidity was right at 85-90 percent both days with temps
in the 85-90f range and all the rain. today no rain but the
wind instead. i liked the rain better myself. and last thanks
wayne wills for making the long drive to visit us. i think he
said he and his wife are going to see the amish community
in pennsylvania and gettysburg before going home. i hope he
has a nice trip. i'm wore out, i'll send all the donors the names
of the prize winners tomorrow. we had twenty one eligible
prize winners and twenty one prizes, so everyone won something.
thanks bill reahard also for cooking up a couple good meals
it hit the spot. thank you all. jim chrzaszcz
oops i forgot thanks kenny rockwell who didn't shoot but helped me
putting out the target boards and getting them ready friday morning.
and thanks clint and clemmie for bringing us some good ammo.
