2020 SMITHMOOR CUP

All the stops were pulled out and we put on the best match we could. I am relieved to say it was a big success. We had great food, great facilities, great target setters, and great shooters that all made for a super time. Dad and Momma Lorraine had some grand meals of roast beef with all the “fixing’s” on day one and smoked Tri-tip with all the goodies for day two. We ate like Kings!

Day one gave us some incredibly tricky conditions that no one except Mark Pachares and spotter Jim Rodebaugh could figure out. Mark almost cleaned the “lay-downs,” missing only one ram. Mark was the Match Winner with an impressive 29 score. Bryan Youngberg and I tied for 1st Master with 25s and it was settled with reverse animal count. Jim Rodebaugh was 1st AAA with a 24, while Thom Moore was 1st AA with a 22 and Dick Hennebry was 1st A with a 19. Dick and David Heintz tied and it was broken in a shoot-off on turkeys.

A COVID-19 Project

As far as the COVID-19 pandemic is concerned, I can’t find much good to say about it. One thing I can say, though; I had a lot of idle time on my hands. After perusing YouTube videos during this time of lockdown, I came across a company that makes rifle kits – Kibler’s Long Rifles.

The Hide Hunting Exploits of HARRY “SAM” YOUNG

It’s difficult now to remember exactly where I first read or heard about Hard Knocks by Harry “Sam” Young. The book is an extremely entertaining read and in the Publisher’s Note, it specifically states, “The great lesson of this book is that “truth is stranger than fiction.”

Who Was Albert F. Mitchell?

When somebody hears the words “Sharps rifle,” the first things that probably come to mind are the great buffalo hunts, the “Wild and Wooly West” and tales of long-range shots, Indian attacks, and hunters freezing in blizzards.
