Gator on the Bank 50 Bird FITASC & 50 Bird Sporting Clays - 07/12/2009

Thanks to all of the shooters who turned out and shot in both events, the FITASC and the Sporting Clays shoot. These summer shoots are new for us and we had a typical Florida summer day on Sunday, sunny, hot, and humid, with a little breeze. The alligator who usually suns on the bank on the other side of the canal from Station #8 was not in attendance (that we could tell). We have had enough rain that the bank that he lays on is under water and so he has found a new summer hang out.

We shaded each FITASC peg with a tall sun umbrella and provided coolers with gator aid at each par cours. It was still hot. But some of you were hotter! Ed Welch and Steve Nelson traded victories, Ed in the FITASC and Steve in the Sporting Clays to tie in the combined events with scores of 88. The shoot off for the overall victory was held on parcour #2 from the FITASC and Ed and Steve showed why they are at the top of the score columns. The primary shoot off target was the A Bird, shot from peg 3, which was not a target shot in the tournament. From this peg it was a full on crosser at about 45 yards, with a lot of spring (or as we say when we are setting the targets “more cow bell”). This was paired with a fast high quartering incomer off the tower. Ed and Steve were tied after the first shoot off round of 3 report pairs. The midi teal was then paired with the A bird crosser and Steve Nelson moved ahead for the win. These two guys are both fantastic shooters and congratulations to both on great shooting. Interestingly, they both shoot left handed and both shoot semi-autos.

Thanks especially to the rest of the shooters many of whom shot the tougher FITASC targets for the first time. We hope you had fun. Some of these targets will remain on the 5 Stand and Station 1 of the Sporting clays course for practice. Also we plan to keep at least a 4 machine FITASC set up on Station 1 of the Sporting Clays course for the foreseeable future. You will need to get one of the staff to trap this for you, but it will be available.

And a special thanks to our volunteer trappers for the Sporting Clays, Jackie Pleseas, Ernie Smith, Richard McCabe, Norm Beckman, Don Webster and Dan Braswell. You folks were instrumental in helping us put on a good shoot. Thank you for efforts and contribution, they are sincerely appreciated.
