NOVEMBER SHOOT RESULTS
Thanks to all who came to shoot this morning. There was a chill in the air and a cool breeze towards noon. There were 11 shooters today and the competition was very close. In at least 3 targets there were ties for one place or another. Those attending were: Duane Jones, Jerry Farringer, Rick Wicks, Jordan Wicks, Jack Cutshall, Dean Grogan, Bill Lang, Jim Eckersley, Ron Saner, Ken Kleinsorge and Jack Riddell. Club 100 yd Ron S. 47, Jim E. 44, Jordan W. 43 Club 50 yd Rick W. 47, Jerry F. 47, Dean G. 46 50 yd 2x Buff Dean G. 47, Jim E. 46, Jack R. 44 25 yd Turkey Dean G. 46, Ken K 42, Jordan W. 41 25 yd 4 Bull Dean G. 40, Jim E. 35, Rick W. 32 At the first Fun Shoot in attendance were: Alan Heath, Ted Nelson, Jon Bridgman, Jack Riddell and John Callor. Although there was a little snow...we got off a few rounds at the special targets and had a great time shooting and watching the snow fall. Please plan to come to the next fun shoot December 18th at 10:00am Just wanted to throw this out one more time about the monthly shoots and the Fort Lupton Muzzle Loading Club. Monthly shoots are open to anyone member or not. A per shoot fee (prizes and range maint) will be $6.00 per shooter as a FLMLC member and $8.00 as a non member. Any TRT member wanting to use the range at any time other than sanctioned shoots, must be a member of the FLMLC. There are 2 types of memberships: $5.00 per year non-voting and $15.00 per year voting. Memberships can be had by contacting John Callor, Bill Lang or Bill Crowley. A membership card will be issued and should be with you on the range. We will be asking to see your card. This is very important as with insurance being a big issue, we need to have only insured members on the range while shooting outside of scheduled events. All other TRT range rules still apply...so bring a shooting buddy! John Callor
TRAPPER CRAFTERS At the last Trapper Crafters we made cloth Indian dresses and worked on the forge. It was a lot of fun. The next Trapper Crafters meeting will be held January 22, 2004 at 2PM at Garry & Nancy Dawdys house; a potluck will follow the meeting. At this meeting we will be making chemises. We will have patterns and articles to copy patterns from. If you have a chemise, please bring it. Bring white or off-white cotton fabric if you want to get started on a chemise. The men will be firing up the forge. FOR SALE PIANO - 1876 upright piano, very good condition. If anyone in the group would enjoy it- I'd want them to have it since they'd appreciate the historical value. Someone's enjoyment would be my price for it. It's been a real treasure.
