August Fun Shoot

This Saturday, August 27th

This month, we can expect some wonderful stages built by those USPSA folks, as well as the usual clays, bowling pins, bull's-eye and the ever so popular return of REDDAWN!

Round count, as always is just under 100, and food and drink will be available for purchase.

Of Special Note this month: Saturday is a "road cleanup day", sponsored by our club, York IWLA 67. In lieu of helping to setup the funshoot, I would ask those of you who can, to show up a bit early and give a hand to the cleanup crew. They meet at the clubhouse at 8:00am and will have coffee and donuts available for breakfast. I will not need setup help this month, so you can work the cleanup instead.

I WILL DELAY THE START OF THE FUNSHOOT UNTIL 10:30AM (registration starts at 9:30) IN SUPPORT OF THIS EFFORT, AND GIVE A $5 DISCOUNT TO ALL WHO PARTICIPATE IN THE ROAD CLEANUP FOR AN HOUR OR TWO.

Otherwise, the fee is $15 for adults, $5 for kids under 18, no preregistration is required. Scoring is optional

As always remember the range safety rules

Results are up!

Results are up already. Link to results. Thanks, Rob.

And thanks to all the people who showed up, and especially those who helped rebuild the match this morning. I'm really happy about how well everything turned out considering the forecast.

Yes we did shoot

41 real shooters just finished shooting. It went very well. If you wimped out and missed it better luck next time.

York match today

I'll admit to be being obstinate, but we're still moving forward with the August match. The weather tonight wasn't nearly as bad as threatened, and what if tomorrow isn't as bad as forecast either?

There will be changes to our plans for sure, but barring a dramatic turn for the worst we will be shooting. Let's find out who the real shooters are.

Preparing for the worst, hoping for the best, Howard

Impending weather

The weather is weighing heavily upon my mind. I am not prepared to cancel tomorrow's match at this point but I do want to inform you of the possibility. We do not give in easily at York and at this point we are moving full speed ahead towards having the match as planned. We are however making preparations and contingency plans.

A. If you are signed up for this match, but are making a long trip and want to cancel out we will not hold it against you. Please email us at yorksignup@gmail.com and let us know so we can inform the people on the waiting list.

B. If the weather that is forecast does in fact occur we reserve the right to cancel the match or shorten the match to the 7 stages already set up in the back pits. We do not intend to do it, but we would rather run and shoot 7 stages in 2-3 hours than 12 stages in the 4-5 it could take if it's raining.

C. Please check your email in the morning before setting off. I get off work between midnight and 2:00am this morning. I will assess the current data again at that time which should lead me to a more informed decision. I will send an email and post to the blog one way or the other, so before you set off in the morning you will have some idea what to expect.

D. If it looks like we are shooting, and it may rain, be prepared. Bring towels, rain jackets, umbrellas, trash bags etc.
