Saturday 5/5/12 was a beautiful day to get out to Glen Innes Pistol Club for an enjoyable afternoon of shooting.
We again had the pleasure of Evan Brown's company from Reddestone Pistol Club who joined us in a 25 yard service match.
Service Pistol, Service Pistol Unrestricted, 25 Yard Service Pistol, Mens Air Pistol and Ladies Air Pistol were the matches contested on the day.
After the matches were complete our Club Captain Rick Bowen gave the members in attendance instruction on how to load and use a Percussion Cap Black Powder Revolver safely and correctly in a match environment. Three members, Garry Miller, Gary Meehan and I had not fired one of these pistols previously and it was certainly a highlight of the day for us. Thank you to Ron Reed for making that possible and to Rick for the lesson.
While we were shooting the black powder revolver Jan Bowen came up with a million dollar idea. She pointed out how they spend millions every year trying to make perfumes that attract men when all women have to do is fire a black powder pistol and men come running from every direction.
Next week is Service Pistol.
