Nite Owl league match #7 and #8 results have been posted on the league page here.

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 we cooked up burritos and quesadillas on the grill.

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

Tonight’s menu for after the match is Italian sausages with peppers and onions. Bring your appetite, your favorite lawn chair, and a beverage.

Forecast

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.

UPDATE: This just in from Ted Lussier, CSRRA Smallbore Director:

Hello Competitors and Coaches

It has been brought to my attention this afternoon that The Blue Trail Range has been shutdown. David called me to give me the news. The range will be closed for at least a week. (Not Davids decision)

That being said The 3 Position Regional scheduled for this weekend May31st and June 1st is being Postponed/ canceled. If I am able to reschedule the match I will do so. For the time being this match is postponed and as of right now I do not know about the Prone Regional scheduled for June 14th & 15th

I will try to keep everyone informed.

Please relay this information to your clubs

Thank You

Erik Hoskins won last night’s match by 4 Xs. Nice Shooting Erik. Full results are here. Scores will be submitted to Nite Owl and results will be posted on the Nite Owl page when received.

Grillin’ after the match.

As you can see, I decided to change the format of the HPM website. I stole the idea from Rick Johnson’s OH match website/blog. The blog format is useful to me for a number of reasons but most importantly it is the ability to update the site from any computer or my iPhone (I know, Geeky). Being able to update the site from anywhere with ease should make for a more useful and dynamic experience (for you the visitor). This site will still largely serve (as it always has) to act as a score board for the HPM matches, but I plan on adding some other content as well (match bulletins, results, etc). The blog format also allows people to leave comments in relation to my posts…I’m not sure if that’s a feature that will really be used, time will tell. You can also subscribe to the RSS feed for the site (if you don’t know what a RSS feed is, you can learn more here).
