What duceman hasn't told you is he takes the prior 2 weeks off to practice. He doesn't just wing it like the rest of us.

[Opalsasquatch]

I'd need two years off to get 1/4 as good as duceman

Here we go folks, things are filling up fast with but a handful of entries left available.

It looks as though Mother Nature is going to bless us once again, with clear skies and sunshine.

We've got piles of donated door prizes, and the steak supper is fully sponsored.

Don't miss out........

[Scottmisfits]

If you have any reservations about this event, throw them out the window. I wish we could've made it again this year. This is the one event of the year that my wife actually wants to attend.
Dick and the rest of the organizers are awesome and the steak dinner is phenomenal. If you go, you won't be disappointed.

[roger]

i have loaded 46 target specific rounds....last year i placed 38th out of 35 shooters.

[Moo Snukkle]

I'm running a regular Remington Core locks, just to give some of the senior portly fellas a chance this year.

[tchardy1972]

Finally got a chance to load my ammo tonight. Finally ready. See you all tomorrow.

If it makes you feel better I'm just starting mine

[duceman]

wiskey and lawn chairs loaded. we're on the way

[FallAirFever]

Have a great time guys.
One of these years I'll get back there it was a lot of fun the year my son and I went.

[wolf308]

Damn it's that date allready ..... stuck working 😥..... have a blast guys .....🤣

[gitrdun]

Wishing everyone a great time and good luck. Unfortunately, I am committed to helping my neighbor mowing, raking and bailing.

Although I said "unfortunately", I don't really mean that as I love farming without the financial responsibility. And the pay back that I get for my time is second to none.

[tchardy1972]

A big THANK YOU to Dick284 for putting on this event. The countless hours and your dedication to make this annual event carry on are appreciated by all who attend. You are a stand up guy in my books. Another thanks to the sponsors who help keep this alive as well.

Thanks TC.
But you gotta remember if it wasn't for folks like yourself, who show up, participate, and spread the word, these sorts of events wouldn't go on for a quarter century.

[Dick284]

Here's a pic of the top three finishers.


TChardy took first overall.
Yours truely took home second overall.
And some guy in a Utilikilt took 3rd overall.

[catnthehat]

Outstanding , guys, congratulations!
Both work and family prevented me from attending this year and it killed me seeing how it was the 25th annual!

[duceman]

another one in the books.

a great time as usual, hard to beat the great weather and a weekend surrounded by like-minded folks.

thanks to dick and his family for the ongoing commitment to this event.

thanks as well to paul from secure energy, for bringing, manning, and donating awesome steaks for the supper again, as well as gary gilson for the help cooking and donating the fresh taber corn.

lots of door prizes again this year, dick will have to put that list together, but sure is nice every participant gets something for turning out.

congrats to travis for shooting an excellent match, (even if he did use all the cripple positions instead of taking us on offhand), as well as dick for second place finish and devon for third, both shooting offhand with me.

next is leffingwell in lethbridge this week end, and then ponoka 50th rifle rodeo long weekend in september. shaping up to be a great month!

[Deer Hunter]

Nice shooting guys. Congrats tchardy.

[roger]

thardy was on fire out there
there is ton of work to keep this rocking and rolling. the guys who put in the time deserve the credit for this. bar none. i wished i could help a little more but practical distance prevents that from being feasible.
my door prize was a smoking nice golf shirt from ADVANTAGE MFG LTD.
personally i had a good score i think 53 or something and managed not to punch holes through any evergreen steel plates.
great to hook up with the usual AO suspects and hear about the hunting season successes.
it was a long day for Suzi and me so we cut out early.
BTW she says hi and she enjoyed meeting you all!!
the Secure team deserves huge cred for the lunch and steaks.

[Moo Snukkle]

A big thanks to all involved in making this shoot possible. Thanks to those mentioned that donated lunch, steak dinner with fixings and dessert, and prizes as well. Shoot ran smoothly and quickly as it should. My son and I have attended the shoot last 6yrs or so, and this year I was able to bring 2 first time shooters. My 17 yr old daughter and my 12 yr old nephew. Both were so thrilled with the event they have signed up for next year! Great to see many familiar faces and sure missed the ones that couldn't make it. Congrats again to the winners. All top shelf gentlemen.

[Opalsasquatch]

Thanks for another great year, enjoyed it a lot.

I figure if I hang out with you guys long enough, I may learn to shoot one day!

Kids were tired and ready for baths by the time we got home, but they love running around making new friends out of everyone they talk to.

Thanks again, a good crew of people at this shoot
