HANDICAP

IN MEMORY OF MARK EHNLE

 Sadly, the club reports the passing of Mark Ehnle, beloved son of Stella and Frank Ehnle, after a courageous battle with cancer.  Mark not only loved to shoot Skeet, he was just as enthusiastic about working the scoreboard at our registered Skeet shoots.  Those who knew him will remember his devotion to the game.

IN MEMORY OF TONI EHLE

The Club and many others will miss Toni Lynn Ehle who passed away October 14, 2009 at the age of 66 of a heart attack. 

Toni ran our Registered Trap Shoots and contributed lots of her time to our Club, in fact, she was nominated "Member of the Month" a while back Click Here to View Article.

We offer our condolences to Jim Ehle, other Family Members and Friends.

 RESULTS OF THE FABULOUS 50'S SKEET SHOOT JULY 18 & 19 2009

The weather was hot and humid which was why we had 50 target events for all four guns and doubles.  This was appreciated by all shooters especially the referees.

Shooting ceased between 11:30 and 1:00 for lunch.  By 3:30 all shooting was completed including the shootoffs.

 Later, everyone got cooled off and returned to the Clubhouse for dinner and cocktails.

Judging by the comments from the attendees, the July shoot will be henceforth and forevermore 50 target events.

See you at the Geraci - Hunters Open September 12 & 13

RESULTS OF THE FRED HASLEY MEMORIAL SKEET SHOOT MAY 16-17 2009

    40 shooters attended.  It rained on and off all weekend...some of us got wet and some didn't.

Winner of the Fred Hasley Memorial Trophy via shootoff was Bob Reynolds.  This is the second time Bob won the trophy and it took one and a half rounds of shooting doubles with 410 to win it!

 Just to prove once again that the 410 is the great equalizer, one of our esteemed referees (who shall remain anonymous)  was heard to say that the 410 was the lowest score he had ever shot.  FUN- AIN'T IT!!

Our next shoot is the "Fabulous Fifties Open" on July 18-19...SEE YOU THERE!

On May 28, 2009 a new young shooter, Jordon Hamlin,  hit his first 25 straight at Trap!   Needless to say, we blew his very nice hat to pieces.  Congrats!

        FLORIDA STATE SKEET CHAMPIONSHIPS 2009 (April 16-19)

Click Here to see Complete Scores (Fl. Skeet Assoc.)

This State Shoot was a rousing success!  Enough thanks cannot be given to all the folks who made the Club look its best and the Shoot run so smoothly.
Compliments abounded from many of the participants on what a great event it was.

The tailgate party on Thursday evening was magnificant. The consenses of many people were that "not since River Ranch has there been a party like this!"
To all the ladies who put on this tailgate party a heartfelt thank you once again.

On Friday, Saturday and Sunday our culinary department took over. Our chefs and kitchen crew were superb.  125 pieces of chicken, 32 pork tenderloins, 12 pounds of pasta, 15 pounds of meat sauce, three gallons of clam sauce and a host of homemade desserts were on the menu.  All of the food was homemade a freshly prepared  which made it the very best compared with other catered events.

The weather was absolutely perfect with four days of sunshine and low humidity.  "The targets were great" were comments made by many shooters including a World Champion who travels all over the country.  "One of the best State Shoots I have attended," was a compliment made by another participant.

My squad shot all the events over four days on all five fields and we had only one broken target...Thanks to Jim Hunter for a job well done!

Winners of the Randall Knives in the 410 Event were Tom Lause, Barbara Bozard, Joe Solsona and Bob Sarafino.
A new format was used for the Randall Knive Event and it was appreciated by many because all shooters were entered in the event.  No pressure was placed on any of the participants and no one was excluded from winning the knives as had been the case prior to this contest.

 RESULTS OF THE DICK POPE, JR. ANNUAL CLUB CHAMPIONSHIPS 2009

             Champions names will be engraved on the Dick Pope Jr. plaque which hangs in a place of prominence in the clubhouse. Results of the Lewis Class are always interesting.  You never know what a less than stellar score will do.

 Nineteen shooters shot Trap, 28 shot Skeet and 12 shot both.  All enjoyed a fine lunch of kielbasa with peppers and onions, burgers, slaw and beans all washed down with iced tea.  Many thanks to Jerry Imber and David Lawless for the preparation.

This is a volunteer event which was made possible by the efforts of folks who are willing to score and pull targets....many thanks!
