The weather was great and the shooting fun at Coharie on May 21. We had 12 shooters participate. Marty Hill showed up but arthritis prevented him from shooting. But as we say in the South, “bless his heart” for scoring. Great scores were posted by relatively new shooters and we were glad to have Travis Alfrey accompany Marty from Aberdeen. Two brothers, Michael and Barry Graham, recently joined the Coharie club and have been shooting for only a few months. This was their second registered shoot and look at what they did!! Jerry Kinlaw is also a new member at Coharie and a converted skeet shooter and he too was posting his second competitive scores. Watch out if he converts from skeet to trap as well as our famous Greg High. We understand Greg was babysitting yesterday. Oh, the joys of being a grandfather absolutely outweigh the fun of shooting!! It was great to have Ron Sherwood and Joe Kusy join us in shooting again after some health issues. Ron has not shot in several years and Joe in several months and they both did well. On to the scores:
Singles: 12 shooters
Champ: Al Williams 98
AA: George Brown 87
