With Roger on the disabled list,  I suppose we should take it upon ourselves to report.  Maybe if he logs on he can get some first rate news.   

Our ham shoot at Whispering Pines took place on Sunday. 31 shooters registered.   If I counted right, 24 are having ham for dinner tonight.   We have new and younger Chief Range Officer.  I don't know if he's getting back at us for voting him in, but he managed to crawl into the back of the target shed and found the stash of  antique targets.   The 25 yard agg was 3 circles drawn to make a pig.   At 25 yards it almost disappears.   25 yard reentry was a drawing of a camp rack with a coffee pot, cup and different size utensils  hanging downward.   6th shot tie breaker was an X on one of the handles.   You couldn't see it  ...you had to remember where it was located.     

The familiar Fox and Crow  were the 50 yard  targets. At 100, it was the one bull Buffalo and a standard round bull.

Anyone else around the country shoot?

Does anyone know how Roger is doing?  I got the news Saturday night that he had a stroke while I was at the N-SSA Nationals in Winchester, VA.  Last I heard, he was in a hospital in Danville, PA.

Please keep us up-to-date if you have any additional info.  BTW, he looked great at the First Frontier shoot last Sunday.

Are we talking Roger Fisher? I am sad.

We had our annual Pig Shoot at Choptank Muzzleloaders on Sunday.  Nearly 20 shooters, 50 shots each, 25yds at the dreaded Griffey 5X targets.  Small pig roasted over charcoal for lunch, 300lb pig butchered and froze for prizes (130 packs of meat!).  Overcast, cloudy day. 

I shot my new 16ga smoothrifle, first match for it and may be the last.   :D  That light muzzle sure does swing off target easy.  When I did my job it was good, but the least flinch or jerk of the trigger and it could hit anywhere - and often did.  Still came away with 4 packs of bacon and 3 packages of other pork meat and had fun!

I have heard that pork is what's left if the pig is cut off the hog.
Is this still true??
