August 14th Smoke Report

Post by smokem »

Good Monday morning to all and I hope everybody had a great weekend. Buckhorn and Polk County shot over the weekend and thanks to Dan Johnson there is a great shoot report for the two-day event. Lots of shooting this week with LCP’s BIG 50 the 16th, LCP and Rockingham the 19th and Buccaneer and RCGC with Big 50’s the 20th.

Buckhorn shot Saturday and 20/23/17 stepped to the line in some hot steamy conditions. Dan broke 100 to win the singles, Greg High got a punch to the 21.5 for his 92 and Gorgeous George Brown won the dubs with a 94. Sunday produced lower temps and a bit of wind for the 20/21/14 that shot the three events. Dan and John tied with 100’s in the singles, Ron Costanzo won the caps with a 95 and a ½ yard punch and Dan and John tied in dubs with 96’s that led to their tie for the HOA. Dan mentioned the AIM shooters and all the fun they are having at Buckhorn. That is what it is all about and thanks to Dan for mentioning that about these youngster’s enthusiasm.

The Grand is over and NC shooters did well and I have picked through all of the scores and hopefully I got most of the info. I have also included the links to the prelim and grand week scores and also the payouts for the two weeks. The Singles Champ is Harlan Campbell 200 – Doubles Pat Lamont 100 – Caps David Elder 100 – HAA Pat Lamont 397 & HOA Pat Lamont 986. Not sure how many shoot off rounds it took for the singles and the doubles but that lone 100 in the Grand American Handicap was all it took. Mr. Elders left money on the table but won close to 7 grand for that lone 100.

Here is the overview of NC winners from Grand week - Winchester AA Class SGLS Championship – Price Fortner D Class Winner 196 – Downrange Manufacturing DBLS Class Championship – Jeff Galloway AA Class RU 99 – Noah Gouge Jr RU 100 – Wendell August Champion Of Champions – Noah Gouge Jr 3rd 100 – ATA World Clay Target Championship By Browning – Price Fortner C Class 4th 196 – Jason Dancy D Class 3rd 194 – Caesar Guerini Preliminary Handicap – Noah Gouge Jr 3rd 97 – ATA HOA By Prize Possessions 1000 TGTS Grand – Price Fortner Class D Champion 929…….There might be more winners in the prelim week and surely Noah was listed in the doubles and handicap 500 bird events.

A big shout out to a couple of my friends that did well in the Champion Of Champions and that is Gene “Hap McTweaks” Hapney and Gary Gooch. Hap was the SrVet winner and and Gary was the Vet RU. Hap is from Mesquite Nevada and Gary is from Rutledge Missouri.

That is about all I have for this week and with the target year wrapping up the new target year is right around the corner. It is great to see new faces popping up and registering ATA targets. Lots of shoots locally and the Hall Of Fame and first ever in NC the Dixie Grand in October. Hello to Lou, Hap, Scott and Cousin Ronnie and until next week……………………….Smokem
