Outside
The first event was the rope shoot. Ray (on the left) ran most of the events, with Mrs.Woody or K80Geoff filling in when Ray was shooting. Here the shooters are Geoff, lochaber, Ray Woodrow Jr., and 9mmMike. (Help me out if I don't get everyone's name right. I'll edit the post with corrections.)
Another group of shooters try to hit the ropes. Left to right, they are Rovert's friend Guy, Mrs. Woody6, Rovert, and Frank the gun club's webmaster. The two little ones in the back are Eric and Jake with Ryan and Ray Jr. looking on in the backround.
The ropes were tough! The leftmost rope has taken several hits from 3 gun's .44 wadcutters, but refuses to fall. He eventually got it and won the title, though. BTW, the wooden backstop was set up especially for the TFL meet. Great job, guys!
Next was the pin shoot. I didn't get many pictures of it, but here you can see the setup. Ray Jr. is watching Ray 3rd and Ryan in a "sudden death" shoot off because they cleared the pins at the same time in the first shoot.
I easily(?) knocked down my 3 pins to go to the finals, only to miss all the pins completely, allowing 9mmMike to win. (That's our story, right Mike?
) Anyway, the Sig P220 is a great bowling pin gun, very accurate from 20 yards assuming the shooter does his part.
The final event was the police qualification. Most of us are now honorary NJ cops, at least in our own minds.
Everyone seemed to do well, except for a few malfunctions. Speaking of malfunctions, there's FlyinGn shooting his fancy gun on the left.
FlyinGn's father in-law is watching, Ray 3rd is in the middle, and Rovert is shooting on the right.
Part of the qualification was shooting around the barrier at 25 yards, which was rather challenging. Dot_mdb is shooting, and FlyinGn and lochaber are on the right. 9mmMike won the police qualification too, with previous champ K80Geoff and Quantrill tied for second.
I didn't photograph busting clays in the afternoon, SodaPop's late arrival, watching the Dillon "Machine Gun Magic" video, talking politics over bottles of Rolling Rock late at night while others watched John Woo's Hard Boiled, our bunks for the night (nobody took the haunted bunk
), or a quick shooting session Sunday morning. I had a lot of fun and look forward to another NJ meet in the spring.
edit: Thanks to Ray 3rd for helping with the names.
