Doug Scott Chunk Gun Match Results

Even though it lightly rained on us just about the entire match, we had a great time.

Congratulations Tim Turnbull for winning the match with a score of 4.99”.

Thank you to Joe Kelly for volunteering as the range officer, Glenn Baer as the scorer, and Walter Fett for setting and running the match!

We had a few visitors and a couple that had never shot a chunk gun match before! Overall a very successful event. We were even visited by David Scott, Doug Scott’s son, who wanted to see the match in memory of his dad.

Scores
Best X by Bob Vogt 0.121”

The Gemmer Range is OPEN

We had a great day today fixing not only the hole in the road, but many other areas around the range.

We want to thank all the members that helped today: Brad Dickinson, Rick Weeks, Tom Goden, Fred Engelhard, and Bob Vogt. Rick Weeks did a terrific job operating the Skid Steer and making quick work of fixing things.

We are ready for the Doug Scott Chunk Gun match this coming Sunday.
