BGC 3 Gun Match

Well the 3gun match is now history and I think everyone had a blasting good time.....We had 14 shooters show up and we shot 3 classes.....The open class is pretty much unlimited as far as equipment goes, if you've got it you can use it....The tactical class limits equipment to what a tactical situation might call for.......The Limited class is very limited equipment and to do good  in Limited class really calls for skill because you can't have optics such as the other two classes.........The scores went like this:

Open Class                       total time

Jay Della Bella                    88.05

Don Pelling                       103.49

Ray Jackson                      144.88

David Ruehle                    247.18

Ray Campbell                   DNF (did not finish....Rifle puked)(Twice)

Tactical Class                  

Joe Singerline                   134.65

Cosby Thomas                  135.49

BUCCANEER RANGE REGULATOR GAZETTE

Regulator Gazette Novenber 1897

Headline:  Reverend U.B. Goode Passes Away

 
An old Cowboy pastor was dying.  He sent a message for his Accountant and his Lawyer to come to the hospital.
When they arrived they were ushered to his room.  As they entered the room, the pastor held out his hands and motioned for
them to sit on each side of the bed.  The pastor grabbed their hands, sighed contentedly, smiled, and stared at the ceiling.
For a time, no one said anything. Both the Accountant and the Lawyer were touched and flattered that the old pastor would  ask them to be with him during his final moments.  They were also puzzled because the pastor had never given any indication that
he particularly liked either one of them.

Finally the Lawyer asked, "Pastor, why did you ask the two of us to come here?"

The old pastor mustered up some strength, then said weakly, "Jesus died between two thieves on the cross, and that is how I want to go to my Lord too."  

The November match at the Buccaneer range was the last one for this year so we made it a little more special by having a picnic at the conclusion of the match.......The chicken and fixin’s were furnished by that famous cook "Bojangles"........

We decided to have the Buccaneer Regulator matches on the second Saturday of each month starting with the January match so put it on your calendar....

Scores went like this....
