Nice recovery on Sunday! But, a little lightning on Saturday did slow us down though. I want to thank Tom Revolinsky and Tom Malinchak for helping to setup the stages for the Orientation Class. And a round of applause for Matt Birch and Jeff Whitaker for putting on the Orientation Class. Matt and Jeff are looking to do another class later this year.

We set a new record this month with 59 shooters and 28 reshoots for a total of 87 guns!

Here's the breakdown by division.

The scorekeepers did really good this month, I only had to add up the scores a few times. I just need them to remember to circle the Procedurals and No Shoot penalties. Remember to review your scoresheet and make sure that your hits add up and that the time is recorded.

We had seven (7) new shooters this month: Sabrina Malinchak, Taylor Radel, Jonathon Bettac, Troy Bonnema, Homer Hood, Tim Abbott and William Jeffers.

Travel mug - brushed metal and stinks of coffee! Please come and get this one.

If you now see a U for your classification, then maybe your membership has lapsed. USPSA has instituted a new policy. If you let your membership lapse for more than 60 days, you will lose your classification. If you want to keep your classification, please keep your membership current. Remember, if you sign up for (or renew) a USPSA membership at the match, you can shoot the match for free (that's like getting your USPSA membership for $25).

For the new members, when you receive your first issue of Front Sight, use the PIN on the cover to sign up to receive an e-mail notification when results are posted to the USPSA Local and Major Match results page. Our results are always posted to the USPSA Local Match Results first. It takes a little while to massage the junk HTML pages that come out of EzWinScore.

Don't forget to let me know when you change your membership type. I had two RO's change their membership and I found out when I went to update the classifications. That just slows down the process to post the scores. I have to stop and get confirmation of the membership number changes.

We also have Crooked Creek Conservation Club applications. Ask Bill, Ed or myself for one if you are interested in joining. We hold a pistol practice on Wednesday evening starting about 4:00 PM for members.

I still have Muff Sweats for sale. 1 pair is $14 and two or more are $13 each. See Atto, Ed or Bud at registration if you would like a pair or two.

Our next match will be on Sunday, June 27^th at Crooked Creek in Hartsgrove. Setup will be on Saturday, June 26^th starting at 1:30 PM. You can shoot one gun after setup. And we will continue the practice of running one classifier each match. Now, you don't have any reason not to be classified before that big match.

Signups for Sunday start at 7:30AM. We will run two (2) squads on Sunday at 8:00 AM and 11:00 AM. Please arrive in time to register, gear-up and be ready to shoot at 8:00AM. I will try to design the stages to keep us on schedule so that you don't have to wait for the second squad. The last squad will help with teardown.
