Here I am preparing the burrito feast.
Conditions were good last night…70F and no wind. It got quite dark for the second stage as some rain clouds moved in. Erik Hoskins won the match with a 399-30x with iron sights; 2nd through 5th place were separated by just a few Xs. Complete results are posted here. After the match [...]
Looks like the weather will be okay for tonight’s match, a chance of showers but we’ll shoot either way. As a general rule we will always shoot, rain or shine. If there is lightening we delay until the threat has passed.
Don’t forget we’ve got another prone match tonight. And, in an on going effort to overshadow the actual rifle match, we’ll be having burritos on the grill with my homemade flour tortillas and guacamole. If you’ve never had a fresh homemade tortilla on the grill, you’ll want to be sitting down!
The 2008 Fall Foliage Match and Jim Knapp Memorial Trophy will be held once again at Hopkinton Sportsmen’s tis year. The Foliage Matc is a NRA prone regional and will be held Saturday and Sunday (10/4-10/5). We’re making a few changes tis year so stay tuned for more info: http://foliagematch.com
Chuck Cannon settles in to shoot a 200-18x on his first stage.
Conditions were perfect last night…65F and no wind. We had a nice turnout with 11 shooters and cooked sausages on the grill afterwards. Erik Hoskins took advantage of the good conditions to shoot a 400-33x with iron sights. Complete results are posted here.
Tonight’s menu for after the match is Italian sausages with peppers and onions. Bring your appetite, your favorite lawn chair, and a beverage.

Erik Hoskins of Rehoboth, MA, claimed both the Prone and 3-Position state championship titles yesterday in Harvard, MA. This is the first time that Massachusetts has held a state championship in over 10 years. Good wind conditions and moderate temperatures set the stage for some great scores. In the team matches, Digby Hand won the [...]
It was cool, drizzly, and abnormally dark at the match tonight which made it especially tough to shoot irons—even scope! Unfortunately, the fine drizzle got all of our equipment wet so we’ll be doing some cleaning today (except for Erik who doesn’t believe in equipment maintenance). The wind wasn’t too strong but it was changing direction frequently. Despite [...]
We had a great time after the match tonight. Don Norris brought a bag of peanuts that we chomped on while we were waiting for the charcoal to get going. We grilled burgers (fresh ground chuck beef), hotdogs, and had BBQ chips.
It’s gonna be cool and cloudy around 60F, but looks like we’ll be dry. We’ll have hamburgers on the grill after the match. Bring a chair and a beverage.
