Lisa and the kids just arrived back at the Nashville Gun Club (NGC) (see photo of entrance below).



Addison is on the line now shooting the class singles event.

Addison just emailed a photo of his 2011 Tennessee State Shoot Preliminary Singles Open Sub Junior trophy from Pat's phone.



Looks nifty, and its in color.

I just received another update from the 2011 Tennessee State Shoot grounds. According to the published program today was supposed to be a standard 3 event day run in reverse. That is, Thursday was a standard Singles (100), Caps(100) and Doubles(50 pair) program. Today was supposed to be a Doubles(50...

Wow, my last report was a bit of a downer... Meanwhile, whilst Pat is providing moral support to our young shooter, Lisa has taken Carly and Kirby to the Nashville Zoo. http://www.JimCallan.com/trap/2011TNState/CarlyAndKirbyAtZoo.jpg Here they are having a nice time. They saw some excellent specimen...

Addison just finished Event 4 doubles and was a bit irritated when he called. When I had pre-squadded him I had arranged for him to shoot primarily with some AA, A and B level shooters. Yesterday when he called for the "let me see one" doubles pair (he shoots post one and leads) he was sho...

Another tidbit that Addison passed on that I thought that I would mention is that the club is running 12 banks with 100 targets per bank/trap and there is much waiting between events. This is a similar approach to what they do at the Georgia Trap Shoot. As an aside I would like to see some experimen...

Well doubles did in fact eventually start as we can see in the photo of Addison's squad below: http://www.JimCallan.com/trap/2011TNState/StartOfDoubles.jpg By all accounts the event started badly for Addison and got worse...he ended up with a disappointing 77, which is the worse score in doubles he ...

98 turned out good enough with a next SubJr score of 96 posted by Brandon Sullivan. I should also note that Lisa (my wife) mentioned an interesting performance by a young Junior lady shooter that posted a 99 whilst wearing a full cast on one leg and hobbling between posts. Addison mentioned that the...

The first day of the 2011 Tennessee State Shoot started very foggy and humid as can be seen in this photo of Addison standing on the back deck of the Nashville Gun Club. He posted a 98 in the first round of singles and it is a bit early to tell if that is a Sub Junior winner. Addison reports that Br...

Memorial Day began hot and with a dangerous heat advisory. The sky was hazy and at the start of the shoot the wind was down as can be seen of this shot of the flag and scorebaord below: http://www.JimCallan.com/trap/2011DEState/HazyScoreboard.jpg The Event 9 Doubles Championship scores follow: http:...

Saturday's Class events did not go well. Addison began the day with one of his cluster headaches and although shooting well for a Sub Junior posted no winning scores. His last round was shot with tears streaming...the whole squad could sense the pain. Having shot with migraines, I felt for the kid. ...

Here are two views from Bank 4. http://www.JimCallan.com/trap/2011DEState/Bank4a.jpg and http://www.JimCallan.com/trap/2011DEState/Bank4b.jpg Below are Event 1 detailed score sheets: http://www.JimCallan.com/trap/2011DEState/Event1a.jpg http://www.JimCallan.com/trap/2011DEState/Event1b.jpg Below are...

The first day of the Delaware State Shoot was hot, very hot. Real feel was over 90 degrees. It was hazy until about 11AM. When the haze burned off the winds picked up. It is always windy up in Millington and the handicap scores rather reflected this... I am not really sure how I can upload the photo...

The weather at the Southern Grand is wonderful. Average temps for Monday and Tuesday have been about 77 degrees. Several NC shooters have made the trip including Billy Thigpen and a few of the Bostic crew. Addison and I came in on Sunday night. He was feeling a bit groggy on Sunday and appears on Mo...

After two full HAA shoot-offs this evening Addison took HAA Sub Jr for the Spring Grand 2011 by one bird in 80. Hurray for NC.
