Longrifles of the San Joaquin – January 2019

Dear Long Rifles,

We had a fairly successful rendezvous considering the negative weather reports during most of last week, the wind on Friday, and fog on Sunday.  We had about 60 shooters in all.  As stated in my last post, we converted the rifle and pistol trail scores to 200 and 50 point scales, respectively, for those who paid the extra $5 to have this count as an aggregate shoot.  There were 38 points possible on the rifle trail, including the two for period dress, which means each successful shot  counted for 5.26 points on the 200 point scale.  The successful pistol shots counted 1.92 each (26 possible).  Raw scores were rounded to the nearest whole number to get the aggregate scores.  The results, with the raw scores in parentheses:

Shooter Rifle Pistol Total YTD
Tony Abbott 168 (32) 12 (6) 108 108
Bob Barker 132 (25) 6 (3) 138 138
Mark Barley 137 (26)  0 (0) 137 137
Fred Jones 147 (28) 0 (0) 147 147
Jerry Smith 105 (20) 0 (0) 105 105

Our next shoot will be Saturday, February 9, commencing at 10:00 a.m.

2nd NRA Range Safety Officer Class Scheduled

Our sport, the shooting sport, is one of the safest hobbies because of basic common sense rules supervised by Range Safety Officers. To help more of our members join that elite group Manteca Sportsmen Inc. is sponsoring another official NRA RSO certification class.

NRA Instructor, Club member and Chief Range Safety Officer Richard “Dick” Reizner will lead the class sharing his 60 plus years of shooting experience. Dick said, “While the information the class provides is important, the RSO’s attitude in passing it on is what really makes the range safe for shooters.”

The two sessions will be held at the Manteca Sportsmen Inc. range, 30261 Airport Way Manteca on March 10 and 17 from noon to 5:00 PM (must attend both sessions to complete the course).

The cost for club members is $35, for non-members it is $150. The class is normally priced at about $180.

Registration forms and further information are available at the range desk or by contacting Dick at (209) 665-7166or Dick@Reizner.com

Two Rivers Posse – April shoot, 4/22/18

Hi Cowboys and Cowgirls,

Here are the scores from yesterday’s match. It looks like it was a pretty good turnout since quite a few of our regulars were off shooting the State Wild Bunch. Thanks for coming out. Congratulations to San Joaquin shootist who was the top shooter for the match. It looks like Shenandoah was the only one to get a clang with every bang. Good shootin’ pards. Our next cowboy match will be Saturday May 5th, with Wild Bunch on Sunday the 6th.

See ya on the range. MM

Tuesday Work Crew – 02/27/2018

Our Tuesday Morning workcrew has been putting in a ton of effort trying to clear out that giant pile of fallen trees that we had down by the archery range…they split and stacked most of the larger trunks, ending up with I think over 20 pallets stacked with wood, now they are able to get in and start chipping some of the smaller limbs and branches.  Still a bit to go but as the saying goes, Teamwork makes the Dream work!
