We got weathered out this year, so ended things a day early. We certainly missed Ruger1965 and his wife and son being here!
This is a strictly primitive shoot, with flintlock and earlier ignition systems only allowed.
We had many situations for shooting. We did mostly offhand, with some any position shoots thrown in. On one stage, you had to shoot your firearm upside down to hit a target. There was also a sawed off blanket gun stage, along with the hand gonne (Chinese hand cannon) to try out. Smooth bore pistol was included, along with trap shooting. We had planned on adding in a blunderbus and snaphaunce this year, but my vehicle break down made it impossible for me to pick up these particular firearms. We also shot moving targets with round ball, Robbin being the star here, and I happened to luck out on a target. The targets were pieces of wood 3/4" X 3/4" X 1 1/2' swinging on a string activated fulcrum at about five yards.
New World Champion is Jack Simms. He over took the competition in the trap shooting, with his experience in International Clays. So, along with his national quick draw records, he adds another notch to his belt!
