The competition was fierce at the Quarterly Shotgun Shoot held on Saturday, May 22, 1999, at the Capitol City Trap & Skeet range. One NAC officer, two SAC officers, two NAC members, one NAC youth member, and four SAC guests (including one first time guest) were present (10 total participants). The SAC had five shooters and one observer (Jim Kieffer) representing it. The NAC had four shooters representing it. For the first time ever we shot Five Stand instead of traditional sporting clays. We shot two rounds. On the first 25 targets we shot all singles. Tim Price reclaimed his throne with a score of 23. David Chalmers came in second with 21. T.J. Lubina came in third with 20. The rest of the shooters scored as follows: Randy Rowley – 19, Warren Hoke – 18, Hubert Jarc – 16, Carlton Moore (guest) – 12, Ron Denison – 10, and Ryan Rowley 8. On the next 25 targets we shot one single and two doubles at each stand. Tim Price was at a disadvantage on the doubles due to the fact that his over/under only holds two shells. The rest of us were shooting with guns that held three shells. A couple of the shooters were shooting without their plugs and had five shells in their guns. David Chalmers shot an almost perfect 24 (missing his last target). T.J. Lubina also moved up one with a score of 22. Randy Rowley moved up to third with 19 again. The rest of the shooters scored as follows: Tim Price and Hubert Jarc – 16, Carlton – 15, Warren Hoke (shooting a different gun) – 13, Ryan Rowley – 11, and Ron Denison – 10 again. Final scores were as follows: David Chalmers – 45, T.J. Lubina – 42, Tim Price 39, Randy Rowley – 38, Hubert Jarc – 32, Warren Hoke – 31, Carlton Moore – 27, Ron Denison – 20, and Ryan Rowley – 19. If Tim had shot a semi-automatic on his second round, like the rest of us, he probably would have scored 23 or better came in first place overall. In the final analysis the shooters enjoyed the Five Stand shoot immensely. We especially enjoyed the second round (doubles), which went considerably faster than all singles. We also liked the facts that five stand was cheaper ($16.00 as compared to $19.50), all the traps were close together (minimal walking), and there was ample shade. However, we agreed that traditional sporting clays offers more targets that fly similarly to real birds.
