I followed with some interest the recent PGC get-together for THR Marylanders. Unfortunately I was unable to attend. It wasn't that I did not want to go, but......(cue the dream music)
I started shooting trap again this past summer after a 25 year break. (no pun) My wife encouraged me to join one of the local gun clubs that share the range about five miles from our house. For those of you that know, I joined Moumental Pistol and Rifle Club that is part of the Associated Gun Clubs of Baltimore range. Over the summer at the monthly club league shots, my first couple of rounds were in the mid teens (15 to be exact.) I have worked my way up to high teens and the occasional 20+ round.
Well to improve my shooting and to get a little more involved, I volunterred to be the club trap league coordinator. Not much to do except show up early, set up the field , service the thrower, take folks money, take down the field service the thrower, and stay there til the end. Well what's not to like.
Yesterday (11 Jan) was my first turn at this new job. I am proud to say that it went off without a hitch except that I acheived a new low on the first round (10) and a new personal high on the third (23). Nothing was broken, damaged or otherwise harmed during this event. Oh yeah 7 fellow club members braved the cold. Hardy bunch.
Once I figure out the system (ie how to reserve part of the range), maybe another Maryland shot can occur up at the AGC trap range.
