A Word From The Publisher
November is the start of the new Skeet Year. It is time to
reset. Many of you are cleaning your Skeet guns and putting
them up for the winter. Some are sending them into your
gunsmiths or dealers for annual maintenance or tune-ups.
For many, the focus is on hunting season and football. Yet
there are still a few Skeet shooting opportunities out there.
The Holidays will be here shortly. The Christmas retail
season starts right after Halloween. Thanksgiving Day will
be here in a few weeks. In that vein, we have a special treat
for you in our Recipe of The Month feature. Debbie has
shared our family recipe for Chicken and Dressing. It’s a
dandy if you like Southern style cornbread dressing. We
also included a bonus recipe for a faux giblet gravy that
really works well with the dressing presentation.
Skeet schedules are being set for the new season. The Texas Shoot schedule is up on our website, as
is the Mississippi schedule. The Louisiana schedule is almost done and will be up soon. We will add
schedules fro Arkansas, Oklahoma, Alabama, Missouri and Tennessee, as we get them.
We invite all clubs to send us the flyers for their Skeet shoots as soon as they can. For best results,
send them months before the shoot. We will post them on our website and help you promote your
shoots. Many shooters use our website to plan their shoot itinerary for the year. This is a free
service to promote our sport. If your club is not taking advantage of it, you are missing out!
Well Doug has hit a milestone. My 60th Birthday was October 31. That means I will be shooting as a
Senior this season. It also means I get a big discount on Life Membership in the NSSA, which I have
been looking forward to taking advantage of. I have already received a letter from Linda Mayes,
NSSA Director, welcoming me to Life Member status and advising me that my new Life Member
Name Badge has been requested from the engravers. I look forward to receiving that.
This is a time to reflect on the blessings we have all received. I am thankful everyday for being born
in a country where I have so many freedoms and opportunities. We are blessed with many friends in
our life, in work, in play and in Church. We are also blessed with a loving family. Yes we also have
trials, tribulations and great challenges. More it seems as we grow
older. But even those are blessing as we grow through those
struggles. This Thanksgiving Day [and everyday] we will thank our
Creator for His love and blessings and we will ask Him to bless you
too. The Frey family extends our Best Wishes to you for a Healthy
and Happy Thanksgiving celebration.

Until we meet again in these pages or on the Skeet field, I am wishin’
you 3 @ 8.

Red Chute Club Championship & Open
The 2012 Skeet Year has come to a close at Red Chute Shotgun Sports Club on Barksdale AFB.
While the club is still open for practice, the final registered Skeet shoot of the year was the Club
Championship and Open held, Saturday, September 22, 2012. We had 13 shooters competing and
enjoying the first day of Fall.
As has been our custom in recent years, the Club
Championship is a 200 target 12 Gauge (or what ever
you want to throw at them) Marathon. The high score
wins the Open Championship and the high score by a
club member wins the Club Championship. Sometimes
both titles go to the same contestant. That was the
case this year when Carl D. “Doug” Walker shot a 99
in the morning and a 96 in the afternoon to take both
Championship titles outright.
Doug Walker
Cohen Holomon and Crissy Hogan
Hot on Doug’s heels were Crissy Hogan
who posted a 98 and a 96 and Cohen
Holomon who posted twin 97s. This was
Crissy’s first time to shoot registered Skeet
in Louisiana and her first registered
competition since the World in 2011. You
see, she has been busy having just given birth
to her son, Corbin about two months ago.
Pretty good shooting for a person who
hasn’t even practiced in a while!
Crissy and Cohen shot-off for the Open Runner-Up honors. That shoot-off went four stations
ending with Cohen taking the honors.
There were no other shoot-offs on this beautiful cloudless day. The Autumnal Equinox had brought
us really pleasant shooting conditions. Hardly warm enough to break a sweat and very little wind. It
was a great day for shooting Skeet!

Dining on The Road
Esperanza’s Bakery and Café, Fort Worth
On a recent Saturday evening, Debbie and I attended a wedding in Rowlett, Texas. It was an
excellent opportunity for us to take our Grandson Simon to the Fort Worth Zoo on Sunday. It also
gave me an opportunity to find a restaurant to visit and report on for this issue.
My family loves Tex-Mex food, so a quick Internet search turned up Esperanza’s Bakery and Café on
Park Place Avenue just a few miles from the Zoo. It was a perfect place for lunch after spending the
morning at the Zoo working up an appetite.
When possible, I like to share a little history about the places we visit. So here is the story on
Esperanza’s. Mr. and Mrs. Joe T. Garcia started a Mexican Restaurant in 1935. Mr. Garcia died in
1953 and his wife Jessie and youngest daughter Hope continued the business. By the 1970’s Joe T.
Garcia’s had become one of the most popular restaurants in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
As Hope’s children grew, the business was expanded with the addition of a small bakery and café
named after one of her children, Esperanza. The culinary traditions of Joe T. Garcia’s live on in
Esperanza’s Bakery and Café which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner at two locations in Fort
Worth which are open every day.
When we arrived at the restaurant, it was a very pleasant October day about 2 PM. There were
tables set outside and I took the opportunity to visit with a family that was dining there. I asked them
if they ate there often and what was good. The young man in the group told me that he ate there
frequently and everything was good. He particularly enjoyed eating breakfast at Esperanza’s and
recommended the Migas.

Dining on The Road
Esperanza’s Bakery and Café, Fort Worth
We elected to get a table inside. Getting to the restaurant after the lunch rush, we had no trouble
getting a table. The menu is substantial with soups, salads, various meat dishes, combination plates
with enchiladas, tamales, tostadas, chili rellenos, tacos and yes, chips and salsa. There were some fish
dishes and some more exotic meat presentations (tongue, baby goat and cheek meat).
We started with chips and salsa which
were very good. Our waitress kept us
supplied with salsa.
My selection was Combination Plate Tres
[pictured ion the left] which included two
Monterrey enchiladas, one cheese
enchilada, one pork tamale, and rice for
$8.95.
Monterrey enchiladas are filled with your
choice of beef or chicken fajita meat and
onions, topped with ranchero sauce and
cheddar cheese. Mine were stuffed with
chicken and onions and were quite tasty.

Debbie and Daughter Kathleen enjoyed the Red
Enchiladas [pictured on the below]. This dish has
three enchiladas with red sauce and cheddar
cheese on top. For the inside it's your choice of
cheese, chicken or beef for $6.75. They chose
cheese. This dish also comes with refried beans
and rice.
If you are in the Fort Worth area and you have a
hankering for Tex-Mex, Esperanza’s is certainly an
option to consider. If we are back this way, we
would certainly eat at Esperanza’s again.

The Pattern Board
By: Paul “L.P.” Giambrone, III
Most of us are entering our off-season or at
least slowing down a bit on our shooting
around this time each year. Some of us are
getting new equipment and are looking
forward to see how the equipment works
for next season! Even those of you who
are still shooting throughout the winter,
this is a great time to take a trip to the
pattern board and see how everything is
looking. HOWEVER, PLEASE PROCEED
WITH CAUTION!
My friend, Tom Hebert, said it best “more
problems are generally created at the
pattern board than solved”. The reason being is that shooters want to get way too technical about
what they see. I have heard stories where the shooter will count each BB hole and see if the pattern
is “perfect”. I have news for you; shotgun patterns are generally far from perfect, remember it is a
spread going out there! We are NOT shooting rifles and pistols where 1-2” means a world of
difference… Do not get bogged down in the very minor details of shooting high or low, left or right
at this point. We are looking for a few things at the pattern board, and it is not perfection.
What do I look for in a pattern? First off, you do not want to fire just 1 shell in the paper and start
looking (I suggest 2-3 shots per gauge per barrel). Also, you want to be sure to shoot bottom/top
barrel only before checking the other. Sometimes you will see the barrels shooting in different
locations so we want to isolate each one.
Your Foundation for Perfect
Skeet with Paul Giambrone, III
is available for purchase! The
DVD shows you how to build a
solid foundation for your skeet
game and also helps shooters
troubleshoot some common
problems they may face. You
can order the DVD now for only

Please

RED CHUTE GAZETTE VOLUME 4, ISSUE 11
BANG BANG BANG! Let’s go take a look at the paper.
The first thing I want to be sure of is that I am not
shooting left or right of center, but am pretty much in
the center. Meaning, whatever target I am shooting at
on the pattern board, I want roughly 50% of the pattern
on the left of the target and 50% on the right side of the
target. Now, if you look at your pattern and it is
shooting 1-2” left of center, you can slightly adjust the
comb and push it in the opposite direction (to the right)
maybe 1/16” to get those 1-2” back to center. In my
opinion, unless you are not down the center of the
barrel (beads are in line with each other), I would not
worry about 1-2” left or right of center.
Page 25
The Pattern Board (Continued)
While on this subject, I do like to see a
fairly dense pattern in the center to
make sure that when I hit the target
that I am able to pull some smoke with
it (this feeds my confidence). For
shooters who are more interested in
just getting broken targets and not
smoking them, I would suggest a more
open, evenly distributed pattern to
cover the maximum amount of area.
Some potential problems that you may
see at this stage of the pattern board is
that the gun is shooting way left or way
right (more than 1-2”). First things
first, make sure the gun is fitting you
properly. There are several instructors
that know how to set the gun up for
you as well as great gun fitters across
the nation. Todd Nelson of Country
Gentlemen is one of the best in the
business and he does travel around. If
he is in your area or if you travel to
him, it is well worth the money. At my
clinics, this is one of the first things we
cover is your form, gun mount, and your gun fit. I cannot stress having good form, a good gun
mount, and an excellent gun fit enough. It is a very essential part of being able to shoot to the best
of your ability.
Back to the pattern, let’s assume the gun is fitting you properly and the gun is still shooting left or
right of center. It could be a bad choke. Test the other barrel and make sure that it is
centered. If it is centered, we are now looking at the possibility of a bad choke. Simple solution;
change chokes and see if it straightens up. If it does, contact your choke manufacturer and save
your pattern paper to prove the choke is not cut properly.
First things first, make
sure the gun is fitting
you properly.
RED CHUTE GAZETTE VOLUME 4, ISSUE 11
If it is not the choke, check your loads. You may need to
try a different load as some loads with certain chokes will
not cooperate together. Keep this in mind that any time
you change ammo or a choke, to always go back to the
pattern board and test the combination and make sure
everything gets along.
Page 26
The Pattern Board (Continued)
Ok, so we have determined that the first thing we
are looking for is a pattern that is centered left and
right. The diameter of the pattern is the next thing
that I look at. I want to be sure that I am not
spreading my pattern too thin where a target can get
through. I want to make sure that the pattern is
dense enough to where a target cannot get
through. On the contrary, I do not want a pattern
that is so tight to where I am really handicapping
myself. My patterning is done at 20 yards with a
target about 6” below the center of a 30”X30” sheet
of paper. On a side note, I shoot the same ammo
and the same chokes for singles and doubles to
minimize confusion and worrying if I have the correct
chokes in.
All of my gauges produce a 24” pattern at this
range. The 20 gauge has a fairly evenly distributed
pattern. The outside couple of inches will spread a
little thin, but it will still break a target. With the 28
gauge, the outside 2-3” is thin, but the inside 18” is
pretty solid. With the .410, the inside 14” is very

solid, with the outside 5” around being thin, but will

still break a target. Keep in mind, this is what works
for more information.
for me! I have found a gun, choke and ammo combo
that produces what I like to see and what gives me
the most confidence! You should do the same and find a gun, choke and ammo combination that
gives you the same confidence and then stick with it!
So by now, you should know to have your pattern centered left and right with a choke and ammo
combination that give you a pattern diameter that you are happy with and have confidence in. Last
part of the pattern to examine is the distribution above and below the target, a very hot topic. A
good starting place to have your pattern would be 60% of the pattern above the target and 40% at
or below the target. Keep in mind, this is a good STARTING PLACE. What you really need to do is
do some shooting to see if the gun is shooting where you are looking! This is where the majority of
problems are created because shooters think they “need” a 50/50 pattern or a 60/40 pattern when
that is not where their eyes are looking! Would you rather have a great pattern on paper or a
shotgun shooting where you are actually looking?
Personally, I want a gun to shoot where I am looking even if its higher or lower than the
“standard”. Therefore, shoot some straight away targets like Low 7 and some incomers on stations
1, 2, 6, & 7 and you should be right in the middle of these targets.
RED CHUTE GAZETTE VOLUME 4, ISSUE 11
Page 27
The Pattern Board (Continued)
If you are consistently breaking bottoms, I
would advise raising the comb 1/16”-1/8” to
help out. This will not make a significant
difference on paper, but will help the gun
shoot where your brain is looking.
Congratulations to Jake Ratcliffe for
his continued success! Jake finished
3rd in the 20 gauge at the 2012
World Championships! It was his
first 100 ever in the 20 gauge and was
1 of only 3 shooters to finish the first
box of shoot-offs at the World this
year. Great job little brother!!!!
Now if you are shooting over the targets,
that doesn’t necessarily mean you need to
lower the comb. In my travels, a lot of the
time, a shooter has their eyes and head too
low on the comb causing them to shoot too
close to the flight line. Most times, they will
shoot over the top of the target because they
are too low on the comb.
Each shooter has their own case, so there is
no one size fits all solution, but this article
should give you some tools to help you when
going to the pattern board and getting your
shotgun to shoot where you are looking.

Before worrying about what the pattern board says, be sure that your form,
Tip of the month:
gun mount, and gun fit are properly assessed. Once everything checks out, then start testing which
gun, choke and ammo combo produces the best results for your pattern left to right and for
diameter. Remember, there is no perfect pattern for percentage above and below. It is a case by
case situation because everyone’s eyes are different. We want the gun shooting where we are
looking, even if it means you have to shoot an 80/20 distribution! If you are in the middle of targets,
what difference does it make?

Funnies
These are oldies but goodies. Well kind of.
Just before the funeral services, the undertaker came up to the very elderly widow and
asked, "How old was your husband?" "98," she replied. "Two years older than me." "So
you're 96," the undertaker commented. She responded, "Hardly worth going home, isn’t
it?"
Reporters interviewing a 104-year-old woman: "And what do you think is the best thing
about being 104?" the reporter asked. She simply replied, "No peer pressure."
The nice thing about being senile is you can hide your own Easter eggs.
I've sure gotten old! I've had two bypass surgeries, a hip replacement, new knees, fought
prostate cancer and diabetes. I'm half blind, can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine,
take 40 different medications that make me dizzy, winded, and subject to blackouts. Have
bouts with dementia. Have poor circulation; hardly feel my hands and feet anymore. Can't
remember if I'm 85 or 92. Have lost all my friends. But, thank God, I still have my driver's
license!
I feel like my body has gotten totally out of shape , so I got my doctor's permission to join
a fitness club and start exercising. I decided to take an aerobics class for seniors. I bent,
twisted, gyrated, jumped up and down, and perspired for an hour. But, by the time I got
my leotards on, the class was over.
An elderly woman decided to prepare her will and told her preacher she had two final
requests. First, she wanted to be cremated, and second, she wanted her ashes scattered
over Wal-Mart. "Wal-Mart?" the preacher exclaimed. "Why Wal-Mart?" "Then I'll be sure
my daughters visit me twice a week"
It's scary when you start making the same noises as your coffeemaker.
These days about half the stuff in my shopping cart says, "For fast relief."
Remember: You don't stop laughing because you grow old, You grow old because you
stop laughing.

anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones I do, and the eyesight to tell the difference.

Recipe of The Month
Mrs. Coker’s Stuffing
This Corn Bread Dressing Recipe was obtained by Debbie’s Mother [Nanna] from a friend
she visited with at the beauty parlor sometimes in the 1960s. The original recipe was
published in McCall’s magazine. The recipe was credited to Mrs. Guy Coker of Lockhart, Texas,
so it naturally has a Southern style using cornbread and has been revised to fit the Clingan
family tastes. It is a favorite in our family, which was always prepared at Thanksgiving and
Christmas by Nanna Clingan. Several years ago, Debbie took over the dressing cooking task
for family events in an effort to preserve the tradition.
It is recommended that you start the day before as there is much work, but worth it all. We
do not usually use this dressing as an actual stuffing inside a bird. Because this is actually a
Chicken and Dressing Recipe it can be served with or without side meats like turkey and ham,
as desired.
Ingredients:
4 large bone-in skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup margarine (1 stick)
10-12 slices of wheat bread
3 beaten eggs
1 pan cornbread (recipe below)
1- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
2 cups finely chopped celery
freshly ground pepper to taste
1 cup finely chopped onion
Pinch of sage (and no more!)
1 can of Chicken Broth (to supplement if needed)
1. Put chicken in large Dutch oven and cover with water. Add 1 teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon
of pepper and bring to a boil. Turn heat down and cover. Simmer until meat begins to
leave the bones (approximately 45 minutes). When chicken is done, remove the chicken
from the broth and let it cool. When the chicken is cooled, remove meat from the
bones and break into bite sized pieces and put aside. Keep the broth!
2. While chicken is cooling, use your electric knife and cut the bread into croutons. Place
on a cookie sheet and toast in a slow oven until it is a delicate brown and dry like
croutons. You will need to check on these very often and stir them around so they get
toasted on all sides. After you have done this step, it is time for the cornbread.

Recipe of The Month
Mrs. Coker’s Stuffing
Cornbread Ingredients:
2 cups yellow cornmeal
1 teaspoon salt
2 whole eggs
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ cup oil
2 cups buttermilk
3. To make the cornbread, mix up everything in the order given. Put 2 tablespoons of oil
into an 8” square pan [we use a number 8 cast iron skillet] and heat in the oven until it
is smoking hot. Remove pan from oven and pour batter into it. Bake at 450 degrees
for 30 minutes. Turn it out into a very large bowl and let it cool.
Assembly for Baking:
4. Melt 1/2 cup of margarine [one stick] in a large frying pan. Add chopped celery and
onions and cook until the onions are a pale straw color. Now add the chicken pieces
and stir – remove from stove.
5. In that large bowl, break up the cornbread into pieces no bigger than your thumb. Now
add the croutons.
6. In a separate bowl, beat 3 eggs and pour over the corn bread and croutons in the large
bowl.
7. Add the salt, pepper and sage to the large bowl and mix. Now add the chicken, onion,
celery mixture and stir it up. Add a little of the left over broth to the whole mixture,
just enough to kind of hold the dressing together. A little broth should be standing in
the bowl, if it is all absorbed, add a little more.
8. Spray a large baking dish with Pam and pour dressing in and cover and bake at 350
degrees for 30 minutes. Uncover the dish and fluff the dressing [to help dry out the
stuffing mixture] and continue baking for 15 minutes more uncovered. Check the
dressing to see if it is not too moist, but don’t dry it out completely.

Recipe of The Month
Nanna’s Healthy Dressing Gravy
Good Cornbread Dressing must be served with gravy and cranberry sauce or cranberry jelly.
Ocean Spray can help you with the Cranberry items, but here is a good gravy recipe modified
to be more heart healthy than real giblet gravy. We think you will find it an easy and delicious
addition.
1 cup finely chopped onion
1 cup finely chopped celery
2 cans chicken broth
2 cans cream of chicken soup
3 boiled eggs (You may need only two eggs, to chop for faux giblet gravy.)
Put the onion, celery and chicken broth into a sauce pan and cook until the onions and celery
are soft. Then add the 2 cans of cream of chicken soup. Chop two or three peeled boiled eggs
into giblet sized pieces and add to the gravy.
Happy Thanksgiving
from
Doug, Debbie and Skeeter!

To all Louisiana Citizens
Several uninformed "authorities" have recently released false information about the
upcoming Act 874 that will be on the Louisiana ballot in November.
Under our current Louisiana constitution, the legislature is not supposed to pass any laws
abridging our right to keep and bear arms unless the law involves concealed carry. Note
that they can pass any restriction on concealed carry that strikes their fancy, even an
outright ban. That in itself should cause you to support Act 874. The legislature, however,
on any number of occasions has refused to believe that constitutional limits apply to its
power. Laws that restrict our gun rights do get passed.
Enter the Louisiana judicial system, the branch of government that is supposed to protect
us poor citizens from the legislature when it oversteps its constitutional authority.
Unfortunately, the Louisiana Supreme Court has ruled that a law that infringes on your
right to keep and bear arms is constitutional if it passes the "rational basis" test. Under the
rational basis test, the court asks itself whether the legislature had a rational basis for
passing the law in question. If the court can discern any rational basis for the law, it will
declare the law to be constitutional. This is the current state of Louisiana law under the
existing Article I, Section 11 of its constitution.
The 1974 Constitution currently reads:
§11. Right to Keep and Bear Arms
“Section 11. The right of each citizen to keep and bear arms shall not be abridged, but this
provision shall not prevent the passage of laws to prohibit the carrying of weapons concealed on
the person.”
Act 874, should it pass in November, provides NO carte blanche authority for the
legislature to restrict concealed carry.
If the new amendment is passed, the Constitution will read:
§11. Right to Keep and Bear Arms
“Section 11. The right of each citizen to keep and bear arms is fundamental and shall not be
infringed. Any restriction on this right shall be subject to strict scrutiny.”
It states, in very clear language, the standard of review that must be applied by a Louisiana
court. "Strict scrutiny" review requires that the court either find a compelling state
interest for the law or declare it unconstitutional. Finding a compelling state interest is a
much higher threshold than merely needing a rational basis. Further, under strict scrutiny,
the restriction must be tailored narrowly to only restrict the targeted behavior, while
protecting the rights of those not targeted.
RED CHUTE GAZETTE VOLUME 4, ISSUE 11
Page 44
To put it another way, under rational basis, the presumption is that a restriction is valid
unless there is no way to support it. In stark contrast, under strict scrutiny, the
presumption is that a restriction is invalid unless there is no way to avoid it. This is a
HUGE difference.
Act 874 is very good for gun owners. Several key Louisianans have done us a great
disservice by making disparaging statements about this potential improvement to our
constitution. In some cases, the statements are made from ignorance. To believe otherwise
would be to believe they are being made by anti-gun activists attempting to trick gun
owners into voting against a significant pro-gun amendment.
The Ballot on Nov 6th will read:
“Do you support an amendment to the Constitution of the State of Louisiana to provide that the
right to keep and bear arms is a fundamental right and any restriction of that right requires the
highest standard of review by a court? (Amends Article I, Section 11)”
Hopefully we have enlightened our members and ask everyone to support Act 874 on
November 6, 2012.
Please VOTE YES on November 6 and urge others to do the same!

THE RED CHUTE GAZETTE DEAL
Mission Statement
The goal of the Red Chute Gazette is to promote the game of American Skeet. Our target
market includes Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas.
Our goal is accomplished through publication and distribution an Internet only magazine
containing items of interest to those individuals participating in, promoting and supporting
registered skeet shoots. Subject matter includes calendars of upcoming events, shoot flyers, shoot
reports and pictures. Also included are articles and stories about bird hunting, travel and food.
The Deal
The Red Chute Gazette will publish flyers advertising registered skeet shoots for your gun club
at no cost to your club. Simply send us your flyer in Microsoft Word or PDF format via E-Mail.
That’s FREE!
The Catch
If we agree to publish your shoot flyers, you agree to provide us with a shoot report, write-up or
article suitable for printing in the Red Chute Gazette. Include pictures (jpeg or gif files) if
possible. It doesn’t have to be lengthy and it doesn’t have be worthy of a Pulitzer. Just tell or show
our readers about the fun you had.
What about Sporting Clays and Trap or other events?
The mission of the Red Chute Gazette is to promote interest and participation in registered
Skeet. Sporting Clays and Trap are not subjects we focus on. We recognize that many gun clubs
offer events other than Skeet. We are happy to provide commercial advertising space for clubs
that wish to promote other shooting related events.
We are happy to offer a special package deal to clubs that support our magazine. If your club buys
an ad in the Red Chute Gazette for a full year (1/4 page or larger), we will not only include your
ad in 12 issues, we will include any shoot flyers (please limit flyers to two pages) for sporting clays,
trap or other events your club promotes in those issues at no additional charge.
