8/13/09 HPM
Pretty sparse night at the HPM’s tonight. Just 7 shooters showed up for some fairly tame conditions, although there was a condition change on the the second target that apparently threw several of us for a loop. George Pantazelos took third place with a 398-31x, Erik Hoskins took second with a 399-28x and Dan Holmes [...]

7/2/09 HPM
A dull and foggy day with a drizzle of rain. The house is banked in with rolling clouds, which rise now and then to show the dreary curves of the moor, with thin, silver veins upon the sides of the hills, and the distant boulders gleaming where the light strikes upon their wet faces. –The [...]

HPM Tonight
Despite the thunderstorms and rain throughout the day, it looks like the weather may actually improve by match time this evening. I should be at the range around 4ish if shooters would like to shoot early.

Thank god the sun came out last night…I was about to crack after a week of rain. And boy did we have a beautiful evening to shoot; warm, sunny, and little wind. We had a record 16 shooter turnout last night as well, because I imagine everyone just wanted to do something outside after all [...]

Here comes the sun, go shoot
Rumor has it that the sun is going to make an appearance here in New England this afternoon. So why not get out, take a break, and do some belly shootin’? If you’re in southern New England, chances are there is a 40 shot prone match near you tonight. Quaker Hill in CT, Bell City [...]

6/18/09 HPM
We had record low attendance at last night’s HPM. Many of our regular shooters are competing in GA and a few wimpy competitors decided to stay home because it was raining. There was very little wind but it was pretty dark with all of the rain clouds and downpours. I tested a few lots of [...]

6/4/09 HPM
Finally, we had perfect conditions at HPM last night! Overcast, warm, and no wind set the stage for some great scores. In fact the top 3 scores were all clean, which is pretty rare at Hopkinton because of the often variable wind conditions. In third place, Len Remaly finished with an outstanding 400-30x with irons! Unfortunately for [...]

Erik Hoskins settles in to shoot some Xs at the HPM
Wow, was the weather crappy at last night’s HPM. Cold, raw, and 47 degrees at match time with a 5mph breeze in your face made it feel like winter. Erik Hoskins and myself were joking that is was warmer when we shot the New [...]

5/21/09 HPM Match
Senior 3P National Champion, Len Remaly, basks in the sun as he posts his first stage target.
It was a beautiful evening last night in Hopkinton. Clear skies, warm temperatures, and milder than forcasted winds set the stage for a very enjoyable evening of prone shooting and stories by the campfire. Despite the wind’s slower than forecasted velocity, [...]
