Pig Roasushoot
Hard work and a sleepless night is the recipe for
success of the annual Pig Roast and shoot. Many
people worked hard the evening before the event
setting up a challenging sporting clays course and
preparing all night the roasted whole pig. Tom C;oper
tamed the course with Joe " I guess I'll shoot " V. iesgas
close behind. Scott Leslie edged out Kevin Snuth arrd
Gerry Zambel in a shoot offfor third place. Philip
Cooper was Hi-Jr. This well attended event was hosted
by Kevin Smith, Chris Schierhold and Bill Creggar.
The roast pig was an outstanding finish to a great
shoot.

Shooters Ready!
By: Jack
The Action Pistol season is right around the corner so
dust offyour gear and come to the range to test your
"stuff." Here are some suggestions to help you get off
to a good start.
Last season this shooter was plagued with magazine
and ejection extractor and a new recoil spring solved
the ejection problems. A trip to Bolsa Gunsmithing
and a modified problem. l0 new Shooting Star
magazines were ordered from Turner's. Five or six
recoil springs and a spring gauge helps me tune for a
particular load. A good cleaning and light oil got me
ready for a trip to the range. No more jams and my
brass isn't all dinged upl

Trap League Results
Five weeks and four hundred targets later we have
a winner. Despite a hard charging Carl Ferguson,
club president, Scott Leslie hung on for a wire to
wire victory @arely). Going into the last round
with an eleven bird lead, Carl shot 48/50 and closed
the lead to only 3 targets. Thanks to all who
participated and especially to Jim Freiberger for a
well organized event.

Looking for that "special load" this winter I started using Winchester Super Field. Look in the Winchester
Loading Manual for loading the .45 ACP-230 grain lead round nose. You'll notice a significant drop in pressure
for a given velocity. (Example 830 fps is standard for the .45 ACP-230 grain bullet). WSF is a little dirtier than
W231, but it's no worse than Unique. After firing a couple hundred rounds my wrist isn't as sore, that's a good
thing. Keep in mind, target loads are fine for target shooting but this sport is for defensive tactics, so full power
loads are recommended.
To test your skill you'll want to shoot at 8-inch disks at about 15 yards. A good source fortargets is your local
market. Getthe 8-inch paper plates and staple them to your target stand. Also a timer is useful so that you can
"race" the clock. Check out electronic kitchen timers that can be set to count down (about $10). I clip mine to
my "ear guards" so I can start it with my right hand next to my right ear and when it counts down to zero I can
hear it beep. Start with six rounds in 12 seconds, you'll be shooting six rounds in less than six seconds before
you know it.
An inexpensive target stand can be made from?A inch (Schedule 40) PVC pipe. When you're done you'll have a
stand about 5 feet tall and it should look like an H with a horizontal piece across the top. Three plastic
woodworking clamps (about $2 a piece) are used to hold the target backing in place, about 20 inches by about
36 inches. I use previously shot NRA/ B-27's from my PPC competition. To keep the stand upright 24 xVzineh
Rebar (about $1.50 each) is hammered into the ground for each leg and the PVC legs are slipped over the Rebar
and you're ready to start shootin'. The total cost for each stand is about 12 bucks!

Range Info
The only thing hotter than our recent
weather was the action at the range. The
rifle side had a great 22 caliber shoot while a
sporting clays event was being held next
door. The next day pistol shooters were
treated to an Action pistol shoot. 3 events, I
weekend, what could be better.
As range activity increases so does the need
for safety. Whether your shooting during the
week or weekend it is imperative to shoot
safe. No cans or glass and shoot only
approved targets. As important is keepine ar
eye on your children and pets to prevent
them from wandering from your sight or
onto the firing range. Also as the
temperature increases so does the danger of
rattlesnakes.
To improve your shooting safety and
experience, the board ofdirectors are
participating in fire and range safety classes
& security badges have been issued. If
approached by a club member with their
badge don't argue, listen.
