The Rockingham County Gun Club hosted a registered ATA BIG50 Saturday August 19th. The weather was Chamber of Commerce beautiful with minimal wind for the singles and a slight breeze for the handicap and doubles.
Sub-Jr shooter Isaac McCoy led all singles shooters with a 24-25 and there were five 48’s broken by other shooters. RCGC member Ed Gideon was the top handicap shooter with a 47 with NCTA Vice President Joe Nalley a close second with a 46. Sub-Jr RCGC member Jacob Gossett was the high doubles shooter with a 47. Ed Gideon was the HOA winner and that is some great shooting for the Senior-Vet competitor.
I would like to thank Ed Gideon, James Brown, Tommy Brown, Doug Monjeau, Lane Murray and Butch Moore for helping run the shoot. We started at about 9 and the last shots fired were about 11:50. If you are interested in shooting trap, scoring or loading traps please let us know. We can always use the help and we thank you in advance.
Our next registered trap shooting event is September 16th. The “Memorial” shoot is dedicated to members that have gone on and that used to compete at RCGC. In memory of Lewis Wyatt, Sandy Wyatt has donated $100 to the top handicap shooter in the event. Mark Spoon has won this award twice and the awards are hanging in his shop. I will be donating $100 in memory of JC Nunn for the doubles event. If anyone is interested in donating for the singles event, please let me know. September 17th RCGC will hold a BIG50 starting at 2pm and you do not have to be an ATA member to come out and participate.
