2011 Delaware State Shoot - Addison and Jim Callan
Posted: Fri May 27, 2011 8:30 pm
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 photos I took (Fred), as I do not have the adapter I use for the memory card. I will make a point to embellish this with some photos.
Not many shooters shot today. I will try to update this later with numbers, but it was very quiet here today. This was mainly a preliminary day and it also doubled as the Delaware Counties annual shoot.
Although only Open trophies were available and no Sub Junior categories were offered, Addison picked up Event 1 handicap Junior trophy with an 88 (see what I meant about the low scores), he likely either won the Event 2 singles event for Junior or Class "C" with a 99, depending on a carry over outcome later this week. He also won the Event 3 handicap Junior trophy with a 92. We were two of the last three shooters that made up the last squad for event 4 doubles. The sun was dreadful (what right bird?) and the winds had picked up... I think Addison had an 80. Doubles was my only good showing today with an 86, with which I was quite happy.
Today was mainly about getting used to the wind and background here, and if Addison did well, great. None of the 4 events today earn AA points. The trophies are rather nifty. I will snap some photos and post when I can.
Clay Floyd and Dale W. showed up from VA. Mr. Skarkey from the SC shoot showed up with his two sons (very young and they seemed to enjoy seeing Dad shoot). I spoke with David Shaffer, and he was working the shoot until the championship events on Sunday. His fiancee is doing better...but still some time to see yet.
It was also good to see some other familiar faces from our prior visits up here.
More tomorrow.
Best always,
The Callans
