February 3rd Smoke Report
Posted: Sun Feb 02, 2025 11:03 pm
February is here and temps will be in the 60’s this week in North Carolina. Unfortunately, not a lot to report due to the lack of trapshoots in NC. Spartanburg and Brushy Mountain shot Saturday, and the Florida State Hall of Fame took place at the Silver Dollar.
One fellow and his wife are having fun in Florida shooting and that is Grace and John Sandell. They spent a little time visiting with Nora and Randy Ross at the Silver Dollar. Nora held several clinics at the Charlotte Rifle & Pistol Club when he was the trap director. They have been shooting in 80-degree weather in Florida and that must be nice. John Pickit shot on a squad with Nora and Randy and was a fixture at CR&PC and Gastonia.
The next registered trap event in NC is at the Buckhorn Gun Club on the 23rd. Mark your calendars now and plan to attend.
Many years ago we cranked up a website (TarHeelTrap) and with the advent of Facebook I probably didn’t do too good of a job maintaining this page. I hope to do better, and we will see how it goes. Dan Johnson has a real knack at writing stories about all kinds of things and I told him I would set something up for his Tall Tails and True Stories. So, if you go under THE LODGE, you will hopefully find some of his writings. It has been a while since I have set up a category under a forum and hopefully, he will be able to post. I am looking forward to his writings and I am afraid I might be in a few of them…….
I hope everyone has a great week and a big shout out to the Mathis brothers on their ATA AIM awards. Hello to Scott, Ronnie, Cowboy, Tim, Bobby, Phil, Mac, John, Will, Art, Tim, Thea and Anne and until next week…….smokem
