Talk about HOT, sheesh, I thought I was going to melt down while at the shoot this past weekend. My scores sure suffered in the afternoons, compared to the cooler mornings. I still managed to win the Chamionship preliminary singles event for D class, on friday.
Tied the singles 200 bird event on Saturday, but lost in a shootout, for the PITA Champion trophy, but still won the Canadian Championship D class singles Open trophy. That made my day!
My doubles score was poor, and melted down in the handicap event Sunday, so no big money in that event. One of the shooters bought in the Calcutta, ended up paying a little bit, so not all was lost.
I thought I might have gotten the HOA class Pita pin for the event, but they didn't have any presentations for them, so ??
I #####ed in all the earlier shoots this year about the rain, that always seemed to accompany them, but it would have been almost preferable to the heat.
By the way, the shoot was a PITA shoot primarily, but as it was the national "Canadian Trap Championships", many ATA shooters participated, and could win ATA trophys. Some cross registered so they could be eligible for one or the other. Almost all the shooters that came from Alberta eastward, were ATA shooters.
I thought the Vancouver Gun Club did an excellent job of hosting the shoot, and all of the club members, president, and directors should be complimented.
