April 4th Smoke Report

Post by smokem »

Windy weekend in North Carolina and folks were out polishing their high bird skills. One shoot last week at LCP and from now on all their shoot reports will be in the shoot reports section. Four shoots this week with the LCP BIG50 the 6th, Coharie the 9th, Buckhorn the 10th and Rockingham's BIG50 on the 10th also.

LCP hosted their BIG50 and the fan was blowing for three squads of shooters. Pat Childers topped all entries with a 44.....He mentioned that the low score proved that the wind was a factor. I hope to get down there one day and hopefully this year.

Old Andrew Carroll - what do you notice about this picture?

Coharie shoots this Saturday and Mac will have the red carpet rolled out for all shooters. Mac is like a venus fly trap attracting shooters with those great lunches and good targets. I got to get some birds in and if the weather is good you just might see me and a guest......TBD

You will get to see the dynamic Duo - Dan The Man Johnson and Big Jimmy Wilson .....@BGC

Buckhorn will hold their monthly registered shoot this Sunday and I would imagine they will have a crowd on hand. Jimmy will send his program email out to his group and we will get it posted here on the website.

I got the picture but I didn't get the babies name......I will call him Lil Shooter

Mac informed me that Marty is a grandpa and I know he is tickled and a future trapshooter in the wings. Also I have included a link to the Sand & Pine Magazine. Looks like Marty got a picture of him and radar and a writeup about the shooting sports in this magazine. Mash on this link for the article...........http://issuu.com/sandandpinemag/docs/sa ... index.html

JC Nunn & Bob Batke at the NC Hall Of Fame.....Sunday 2005

I called my friend in Ohio Bob Batke Saturday. He hasnt picked up a gun for three years due to an equilibrium problem and has a doctors appointment Wednesday. I sure hope he can get squared away and get back to shooting his Kolar TS. He knotted up with JC the year JC broke a 96 at the NC Hall Of Fame. Bob and JC tied and JC took him out there and outbirded him for the Chief statue.

2004 NC State Shoot - The Gastonia Cartel with Jim Daughtridge in the teal shirt......

5/6/2010 was the last registered targets Jim Daughtridge shot at the Old Hickory Gun Club. I keep up with Jim on Facebook and Jim is doing well. He is out riding his Harley and having a great time in Charlotte. Always great to talk to someone that really enjoyed the sport and maybe just maybe he will come out to play again.

Ok I guess that will do it for this week and I hope all the pictures were ok and dont mess up the flow of the Smoke Report.......Now that I am retired I might have a little more time to dump a bunch of pictures that have never been seen before except by me......

Have a great week everybody and hello to Lou - Scott (you coming to the Dogwood?) - Hap and Chase what you up to and until next week.............................Smokem
