LEGENDS OF SILHOUETTE #2

John Dunn

by the Old Guy

The first episode of this series was about a feat that was

done outside the scope of IHMSA. This one is what i consider

the greatest single feat accomplished at an IHMSA match. No

one I ever have talked to has disagreed with me about this be-

ing the most outstanding achievement at an IHMSA match. I

refer to John Dunn's 157x160 big bore four gun aggregate

score shot in 1990 at the Grass Valley Gun Club. A lot of real-

ly great shooters have shot handgun metallic silhouette. There

have been a lot of good 150+ scores fired, but no one has

come even really close to John's 157x160. There have been a

handful, perhaps three or four 155s, but no 156. John's 157

stands out alone.

It just so happens that I personally was present at that

match in Grass Valley, California. I even was shooting Stand-

ing next to John when he shot the first leg of this aggregate,

the Standing leg. He only missed one target through the Chick-

ens and Pigs, and I thought, "This may be the day he breaks

35," because I knew he had shot several 35s and felt stymied

at that score which he did not feel able to beat. When he

missed only one Turkey, I was really impressed at the possibil-

ities opening up, but when he got the first five Rams, I knew

this was it. He missed only the last Ram, and this added up to

37. I congratulated him, and he went to get another gun. He

proceeded to shoot 40x40 both in Unlimited and Production,

and then he started to pack up his things to leave. I asked him

where he was going, and he said, "I didn't bring my revolver

with me, so there's nothing left for me to do."

It is at this point that the true nature of Handgun Metallic

Silhouette shooters came into play, something that makes this

sport like no other, a sport where people really want others to

do the best they can. All of us try to do the best we can, but all

of us want others to do the best they can, and we are very

much into helping each other. At this moment Yevonne Ball,

the wife of then California State Director Pete Ball, came over

and said, "John, you can't leave without shooting Revolver.

This is too great an opportunity for you to let go by. I have

my .357 super mag Dan Wesson in the car, and I want you to

shoot it with the ammo I brought for it." I continue to believe

this is one of the most gracious acts I have seen in any sport.

John was deeply moved by this offer, and he accepted. What

happened next truly is amazing. John took a gun he never had

shot before, had no sight settings for, and knew nothing about.

He had only five sighters with which to familiarize himself

with this revolver and only the settings Yevonne had used.

With this limited information about a strange gun, he lay down

and shot a 40x40 in Revolver, an outstanding accomplishment

in any circumstances, but more than doubly so in this case.

I must add that John did have a very important thing going

for him, something additional he had going for him at all our

matches. He had one of the best spotters I ever have seen, his

wife, Myrna. This is no small factor, especially sighting in a

revolver he never had shot before. If you would like some idea

of why I mention this, let me add the following. In the mid

1980s I was the Match Director of the San Jose Silhouette

Club in San Jose, California. John and Myrna drove down

from their home in Nevada several times to shoot with us in

San Jose, and on one occasion I decided that the shoot off tar-

gets would be the then new half size chickens set at 200 me-

ters. John shot a 40 in Unlimited and proceeded to the shoot

off line. I was not a bad spotter in those days, and since the

half size chickens were new, I decided to watch him shoot the

shoot off to get some experience spotting these small targets

which vanish quickly. These targets were only 1/2" thick so

they were comparatively light for half size chickens which of-

ten are thicker. I sat just in back of Myrna where I could not be

in her way. I watched as John hit target after target, and I

watched as Myrna stuck pin after pin in their spotting board. I

had no idea if she was right or not because I couldn't seen any

of them, but she did it quickly and confidently. I waited while

the target setter put them back on the stands, and sure enough,

she had called them all correctly. Her spotting was John's se-

cret weapon.

The following was a famous story among silhouette shoot-

ers back in that day. John went to the Masters in Illinois in or-

der to compete with the top shooters in the country. He figured

all the shooters there would be like the Silhouette shooters he

had known. It was hot that day, and he and Myrna left their

things on a bench to get a cool drink. When they got back,

they found that someone had stolen Joh's shooting glasses,

someone who wanted to eliminate from the competition the

one he thought was most likely to win. We are all lucky to par-

ticipate in a sport where that sort of thing just does not happen.

THANKS TO ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

I am writing this as it is not said enough!

Thanks for all the Match Directors, Sponsoring clubs and to the target setters as without your time and support we would not have a place to shoot

our sport. You are the shooters direct link to IHMSA.

Thanks to the Executive committee, board of Directors as you are the people who run the organization.

Thanks to the State and Regional Directors as you provide the support to our Match directors and the clubs.

Thanks to the Equipment manufacturers who have supported us over the years. Without you, we would not have equipment to shoot the sport!

And Last, To ALL members of IHMSA, without you we would not have an Organization!

By Steve Martens

It's been a great summer of shooting for me. Along with the local

matches at our two great ranges in Minnesota I did a lot of travel-

ing. June saw Kenny LaCroix and myself at the 1000 yd handgun

bench rest match in Sundance , WY. A little different than silhou-

ette, but shows what a handgun's potential is.

In July we made the journey to California and was impressed

with the match that Jerry Ray and his hard working crew put on.

It was amazing to have such a beautiful quiet range in the foot-

hills of mountains just north of LA. You can drive a half hour

south and your in Hollywood and the hustle and bustle of a super

large Metropolitan area.

Early August saw us in Tusco and East Coast Championships.

Another great match put on dedicated members of IHMSA. Jim

Kesler did a great job putting the match together.

Early Oct. saw the Richard's clan and myself on the road again

to OKC for the South Central Championship. We were treated to

great weather and another super match. Jim Fields always puts on

the best match you can imagine.

For those that missed the great match put on by LASC a few of

the things discussed at the board meeting were,a review of the

practical hunter rules ( anyone who wishes to comment on the

rules or possible changes we are taking suggestions), approval of

a 2 year trial of Ultra 500 meter handgun silhouette, printing of

the rule book in 2016, reduction of membership dues once we get

a handle on the printing costs.

A huge cost savings to IHMSA is having Dan volunteering to

publish the IHMSA news is very substantial and we all owe him a

big thanks.

The BIG thing to remember is that there are no paid positions in

IHMSA. Everyone is volunteering their time and effort to keep

this sport going. No one likes getting bitched at, volunteers like it

even less and if it gets too much they can always quit, as too

many have.

A few things to look forward to next year , I will be pushing

"competition" , we will have a new Revolver competition spon-

sored by Freedom Arms. The promotion of the Ultra 500 silhou-

ette game. Also more recognition of the amazing shooters we

have in the sport. I would also like to see someone volunteer to

write a juniors column for the newsletter.

Next year marks the 40th Internationals/World Championships in

Oklahoma City. We plan to make it a special event you do not

want to miss.

THE NEW SILHOUETTER

Save-It™ 12-Gauge Semi-Auto Shotgun Shell Catcher

So Close and Yet So Far

Another Prediction True?

By Ken Horowitz

Sometimes it’s the small things that make a big difference. In

this case I'm referring to Birchwood Casey's Save-It™ 12-Gauge Semi-

Auto Shotgun Shell Catcher. While I had been familiar with various car-

tridge shell catchers, including having observed homemade ones that

looked like butterfly nets crudely anchored to a bench, the first time I

became aware of shotgun shell catchers is when I got reprimanded by a

shotgunner yelling that my casing were hitting his new $8,000 wood

(really, he said $8,000 for just the wood! I can't even imagine how much

his whole shotgun cost). He turned to the range officer and asked why

shell catchers weren't required for semi-autos. I pictured a net or wire

contraption hanging from the side of my Beretta.

Since that time I've learned that it's bad etiquette to use a semi-

auto on a trap line without a shell catcher and the idea of the catcher is to

contain the shell casing inside the action where it can be easily removed

by the shooter. The Save-It™ 12-Gauge Semi-Auto Shotgun Shell

Catcher is clever in its simplicity, about the highest compliment an engi-

neered contraption can garnish. A stamped sheet metal piece adheres to

the action below the ejection port with double sided sticky tape. A bent

wire hinges on the stamped sheet metal part in such a way as when en-

gaged, it interferes with the full ejection of a shell more or less causing a

stovepipe through the wire. At this point the shooter simply grabs the

shell to remove it.

The purpose of hinging the wire is to be able to fold it down

away from the ejection port for those situations, as for example hunting,

where follow-up shots are taken and the shooter will want the shell to

completely eject. Since Birchwood Casey's stock photos came out so

much better than mine, I've used them with this article to show the two

positions.

The device is simple and it works. I tried it on my Beretta semi-

auto and am so pleased with it that I plan on getting two more for other

semi-auto shotguns, a Remington Model 48A in 16 gauge and a Reming-

ton Model 1100 in 20 gauge. While designated for 12 gauge, I've read

several blurbs on the internet that explain how adjusting the wire can

easily adapt the device for 20 gauge semi-autos (so I figured it could

handle the 16 gauge as well). As long as the sheet metal component

clears the ejection port and forearm and does not interfere with the bolt

carrier release button, all will be well. I'm confident I can make it work

and if not, the investment is only $20 at full retail (or less if you shop it;

under $14 on three sites I just Googled).

* * *

I recently returned from a family vacation in Newport Coast,

California which is maybe 1-1/4 - 1-1/2 hours from Los Angeles Silhou-

ette Club where the Internationals took place (that's with no traffic, a

very hit or miss thing in the Los Angeles Metropolitan area). Besides

conflicting with family planned events, including Disneyland, California

Adventure, Raging Waters and a trip to Catalina Island, I decided not to

add my IHMSA guns to my baggage. Despite the very well written de-

scription of how to transport firearms published in IHMSA News, hitting

airports twice in California and twice in New Jersey just seemed to play

against the odds of having some kind of bureaucratic problem. Sure, I

would be in full compliance with all the requirements, but experience

tells me that some clerk or other, not knowing the correct procedure,

would throw a monkey wrench into the transport, creating an inconven-

ience or worse. Here in New Jersey, our rights are more or less boxed

into a right of legal defensive arguments, not rights to be free from chal-

lenges. Perhaps I'm overcautious, but just as you can't be too careful with

the handling of firearms, there are certain states where being right doesn't

mean you're going to have no troubles.

Further, our family was staying in a Marriott property (by the

way, drop dead spectacular) and I've heard mixed comments about the

unfriendly policies that have been invoked against having firearms on

Marriott premises. Whether true or not, leaving firearms in the car is

certainly not an option. Anyway, I'm glad that so many of our members

were able to attend the Internationals.

* * *

Lately, there has been a lot of press about the demise of the .40

caliber cartridge and firearms that shoot it. Okay, perhaps demise is a bit

over the top. Let's just say that its popularity just took a huge hit by the

FBI's apparent decision to go back to the 9mm platform. Just as so many

law enforcement agencies followed the FBI into the .40 caliber platform,

you can be sure they will follow the exodus as well.

From its inception, I saw no need for this cartridge. With the

then controversy raging over the 9mm v. 45ACP, the avoidance of mak-

ing a decision triggered a compromise that satisfied few but as in many

such developments, voices in opposition remained mostly silent. Con-

sensus has it that the seminal event driving the compromise was the infa-

mous Miami Shootout, followed by the first attempt at a 'tween cartridge,

the 10mm, which proved too potent. Shave a bit of brass off the case,

tweak the load and voila, the .40 caliber is born.

At the time, mainstream gun rags fell over themselves with praise

and led by the FBI, other LE jumped on the bandwagon along with sport

shooters as well. It made no sense to me and I predicted an early fizzle.

I've called some things right and many wrong and I came to believe, as

time lapsed, that I had called this one incorrectly. However, my only

error was the timing. At long last, there is a great retreat as realization

takes hold that the .40 caliber has just as many disadvantages versus ad-

vantages when compared to either the 9mm or 45ACP. With new bullet

technology, performance is only marginal over the 9mm, while maintain-

ing almost the same recoil issues as the 45ACP.

Now don't get me wrong. If you love the .40 caliber or need it for

some purpose, such as making power factor or the sort, fine. But when

you compare it with classics that have been around over a hundred years

and just keep getting better like the 9mm and 45 ACP, it's not going to

make it. Sure, people will keep loading it because that's what we reload-

ers like to do. I have nostalgic attachments to my own list of "used to

be" champion cartridges.

To All IHMSA Members:

First, I am going to go over items discussed in our president’s report. As Steve Martens has stated, we will be printing new rule books in 2016. Af-

ter we have the practical hunter rules incorporated into the rules and also finalized the rules for 500 Meter silhouette, we will get these printed and

included with your renewals.

The Board is considering a reduction in membership fees. This will be released when we have a final report on our expenses. Since the biggest ex-

penses used to be printing of the News and HQ costs, both of these have been drastically reduced. When they have finalized this, I will let you

know.

And Last, I want your input for items to be printed in the IHMSA news! If you wish to see Load data for specific calibers, Equipment reviews, or

anything Let me know! Also, if you wish to submit an article yourself, I greatly encourage it!

For All Match Directors:

First, you may notice your match reports missing from this issue. The Package containing mailed in reports came too late for printing in this issue

from HQ. So, I am requesting that if you mail in your Match reports, to directly send them to me (your editor). While if you send them to HQ, it de-

lays printing of your match results by 2-3 months. If you send them directly to me, it will get them printed 1-2 months earlier and also decrease the

work load on Cindy Smith at HQ. I encourage though, if you can to send your match reports electronically to me as this saves me time in entering

your match results. Just remember that the Match recap sheet and sanction Fees still go to HQ!

I will be sending out the 2016 Match schedule forms in the next 2 months to the match directors so you can submit your clubs schedules. Please

make sure they have been approved by your state or regional director as this is a mandatory requirement for Sanctioning.

And last, as soon as I can get copies of all the Match forms, I will be updating these and attempting to make them easier for you. This includes the

forms for the special awards.

And one final thing, I am hard to get hold of via Phone, but if you leave me a message, I will get back to you.

Also, mine and HQ’s contact information is always located on Page 2 of the IHMSA news.

If you have any input or have questions, feel free to get hold of me.

THE NEW SILHOUETTER

MOA

By Ken Horowitz

I was speaking with a non-IHMSA shooter who, in a "friendly"

manner, began to malign the size of our targets and the correlative non-

necessity of "true accuracy" in toppling steel. The scene was a 200 yard

range where MOA converted into about two inches at that distance. Go-

ing for sub-MOA with a target rifle, the shooter saw no big deal in hitting

a ram that measured about a foot from belly to back, not counting the en-

dowment that makes a ram a ram. The over thirty inch measurement that

goes from butt to nose wasn't even mentioned.

You know how it is. The reactive target folks (that includes us)

make fun of the paper punchers (I'm one of those as well). The

benchresters poke fun at anyone with a group over 1-1/2 times bullet di-

ameter. The 1000 yard shooters belittle the benchresters. Single projec-

tile shooters can't understand what's so difficult about hitting a clay target

with a whole swarm of pellets while the shotgunners see no sense in tak-

ing so long to hit a stationary target. Since I shoot IHMSA, CMP, 22LR

rifle matches and Sporting Clays, I hear it all.

To be sure, accuracy standards are tied to the discipline at hand.

But there is more to it than hardware and target size. Each discipline has

both common and unique elements that can divide success from failure.

While that 200 yard shooter is correct with respect to using a ruler, there

is no guaranty that a successful 200 yard shooter will be any good at

IHMSA. For all the years I've been shooting, I'd give myself a B grade

for rifle match skills that I shoot (okay, maybe a B-), a C for IHMSA

and, only by being generous, a D for Sporting Clays.

Back to IHMSA, how accurate is accurate? With so much being

published regularly on MOA this and MOA that, what is an acceptable

MOA for knocking down steels? In this context, the first step is to deter-

mine a number that would incorporate the inherent accuracy of the fire-

arm and ammunition, ignoring the shooter's skills. For that, let's look at

the target dimensions and the rages at which they are shot.

First, a word on MOA. The quick rule of thumb for minute of

angle (MOA) is that one MOA equals 1" at 100 yards. Double that to

200 yards and MOA equals 2"; halve it to 50 yards and MOA equals

1/2"; and so forth. This is a great rule of thumb and it works quite well at

the "short" distances at which most of us shoot. The actual derivation

comes to slightly over an inch for 100 yards with corresponding changes

at any distance. For what it's worth, the following paragraph may be

helpful (or skip it if you don't care).

(a) There are 360 degrees in a circle; each degree has 60 minutes;

therefore a circle has 21,600 degrees (360 x 60). (b) 100 yards has 3600

inches (100 x 36). If the shooter is standing in the middle of the circle,

the 100 yards distance to the target is the radius of that circle. (c) The

circumference of that circle is 2πR (where R = Radius) or as some of you

might have learned it, πD (where D = Diameter or 2 times the radius).

Either way, using 3.14159 as π, the circumference of the circle, in inches,

is 22,619" (2 x 3.14159 x 3600, or 3.14159 x 7200). (d) Taking the cir-

cumference in inches and dividing by the number of degrees in the cir-

cumference gives 1.047" (22,619 ÷ 21,600) as the real measurement of

MOA. As you can see, at close distances, 1" is good enough.

As mentioned previously, the center of a Big Bore ram is about

12" top to bottom. If a properly sighted gun were held dead on at that

point at 200 yards, 6 MOA would be good enough to hit the target. If

your range has the rams set in meters, you would need a bit less than 5.5

MOA. The required MOA for the other animals is equal or less stringent

than necessary for the rams. The chickens and pigs are both considerably

less, while the turkeys are just about the same. However, the turkeys cre-

ate a unique problem in determining center of mass. Some shooters I

know aim at a top to bottom center point directly above the center of the

leg, but the true center of mass of the turkeys is about two to three inches

into the chest from that point.

Field Pistol targets, being set at 25 to 100 yards, are half-scale at

half the distance of Big Bore targets set at yards (not meters). Accord-

ingly, the minimum MOA requirement for Field Pistol is also no better

than 6 MOA. (For Big Bore Half-Scale, the minimum requirement

would be twice as great or half the MOA: i.e., 3 MOA for ranges that set

in yards and 2-3/4 MOA for ranges that set in meters). Small Bore tar-

gets, being only 3/8" scale, require better (less) MOA than their Big Bore

and Field Pistol Brethren. 4.5 MOA will do throughout the course of

fire.

For a little cushion, let's say a 4 MOA gun/ammo combination is

adequate for shooting across any course. Realistically, I don't think any-

one ever walks into a gun shop and asks to see a 4 MOA gun. On the

other hand, many shooters already possess 4 MOA or better firearms (of

course, with the proper ammunition for the combo), but look to increas-

ing their performance by throwing money at hardware. There is so much

more to be gained by honing skills than by decreasing inherent MOA.

Setting the 4 MOA on the side, assume a more capable setup; for

example 2 MOA. If you can benchrest your combo and consistently get

2" groups at 100 yards but still miss a lot of animals during matches, the

problem is not likely solved by getting a 1 MOA outfit. Better results

can be had by working on sight picture, trigger control and steadiness of

position. The equipment versus skills issue that is endemic to many

sports is easily answered for us. A good shooter can get better results

with a mediocre outfit than a poor shooter can achieve with a tack driver.

Now don't get me wrong. I'm not suggesting that anyone uses a

shot-out barrel that performs like a smoothbore. I've shot those and the

only way a target falls is on hope. On the other hand, as a proponent of

the shoot what you have school of thought, I encourage everyone to pay

attention to things that can be controlled and not write-off missed targets

to gun and ammo capabilities.

Just for fun, if nothing else, benchrest one of your non-IHMSA

guns, like maybe a 4" barreled revolver. If you can print groups within a

6" or smaller circle at 100 yards and the point of impact is properly

aligned with the point of aim, you're good to go and should try it for

Field Pistol. I used the 4" revolver illustration because I own two con-

trasting 4" barreled examples. One, a S&W Model 686 (357 Magnum or

38 Special), is up to the task with a number of loads. For the other, a

Ruger Blackhawk, I've yet to discover a load that can do it, whether us-

ing 357 Magnum, 38 Special or even 9mm Luger in the extra inter-

changeable cylinder. (I do keep trying the Blackhawk occasionally, since

it's a fun gun to shoot, but any falling targets are the result of the hope

factor that I previously mentioned.)

By the way, this is certainly not a general indictment of the

Blackhawk Model. I bought this gun used several years ago because I

happened to be buying something else at the time when I spotted the gun

in the dealer's case at an attractive price and I had a soon to expire pur-

chase permit in my pocket along with enough cash. I have no idea of the

history before me but this is certainly one of those shot-out barrel exam-

ples. While my specimen is perhaps the least accurate handgun I own, I

know of many people who are quite pleased with the inherent accuracy

of the design.

While not "IHMSA-esque," my Blackhawk is a fun gun for short

range plinking, has an incredibly fantastic trigger and while I made it

somewhat homely with Hogue rubber grips (they just don't look right on

this gun), it's a pleasure to shoot even with the stiffest 357 Magnum

loads. The Hogue grips took it all the way from painful (i.e., bloody

pinky) to excellent recoil management. I keep telling myself that I

should spring for a new 6-1/2" barrel to make things right with this re-

volver but it has never risen to a priority level. Maybe one day (which

phrase usually converts to never).

MARKSMANSHIP COMPETITIONS

The Burris cup:

Scoped .22 Long rifle caliber Handguns only. Your best 5-shot group at 100

yards or meters. Guns may be bench rested over any solid rest as long as the

gun is not in a ransom rest, vise or any other mechanical clamping device. Ly-

ing on your back in a freestyle position and piling sandbags by your body for

support is legal. This will allow scoped guns setup for Creedmoor to better

compete.

The Weaver Trophy:

Scoped centerfire handguns. Your best 5-shot group at 100 yards or meters.

Guns may be bench rested over any solid rest as long as the gun is not in a ran-

som rest, vise or any other mechanical clamping device. Lying on your back in

a freestyle position and piling sandbags by your body for support is legal. This

will allow scoped guns setup for Creedmoor to better compete.

The Merit Challenge:

Centerfire handguns with iron/open sights. Your best 5-shot group at 100 Yards

or Meters. Groups must be fired from an IHMSA legal position. No benchrest

or artificial support allowed.

Big Bore Records Program (BBRP)

By

Joe Cullison

The year is starting to wind down and cool off but some super scores

came in.

Jim Kesser (OH) shot a S-34, P-39 and a U-40 to post an excellent 3-gun

113. This puts Jim in a tie for first in the Standing category and lands

him on top of the heap for the 3-gun high score. Jim also shot a Standing

agg of 60 with both entries being open sights. Excellent shooting Jim.

Doug Edney (OH) made his first entry into the BBRP with some fine

shooting. Doug shot a S-28 and a US-33 to make a Standing agg of 61.

Doug also moves OH into a state total tie for 2nd. Welcome to the pro-

gram Doug, I expect to see a lot of you around here.

State totals for 2015 are: CA-6, OR-5, OH-5, MN-2

Please bring at least one friend or acquaintance to every match. To-

gether, we can keep IHMSA growing.

Please forgive me if I have left anyone out or made any other errors.

Send me the information and I will make it right as soon as I can.

Thank you for your support of the BBRP.

Marksmanship program

Burris Cup:

This is Dave Edney, I have taken over the marksman-

ship program. Being new to IHMSA I didn’t know much about

the program. I have done some research and this is a pretty cool

way to make the range trips a little more interesting. If I could

just get good at shooting I may have a few entries my own.

I have received my 1

st

target in the mail for the marks-

manship program. The target is a Burris cup entry from Glenn

Tullius out of Minnesota. Glenn is shooting an Anschutz exem-

plar converted to center grip with a Burris 3-12 power scope.

Ammo is SK pistol match. Weather conditions were 73 degrees,

high humidity with dead calm wind. Glenn’s 5 shot group at

100 yards measures an impressive 0.712” center to center.

Glenn shoots silhouette at the Holmen rod and gun club in

Holmen, WI. Keep up the good shooting Glenn and those 1/5

th

scale critters need to be afraid.

My log sheet is pretty bare so send those targets in. Safe shoot-

ing.

SmallBore Records program

By Dan Hagerty

Joe Kennedy of Nevada shot a standing aggregate of

63 to take the top spot (S:27,US:36)

Paul Habig of Nevada continues to keep me busy.

Since my Last report Paul shot a 110 3-gun and a

149 40 gun aggregate. Also a standing aggregate of

61.(S:30,R:40,P:40,U:39,US:31). He also shot 2

more revolver 40’s!

The following I found while going through

match reports. I am only guessing on the persons

state based on where they shot. Steve Martens of

MN shot a nice 31 standing. Doug Edney shot a nice

30 standing and Wayne Bolston of PA also shot a

nice 30 standing!

Scores next in parentheses are the converted

ASCENSION SILHOUETTE

GONZALES, LA

SEPTEMBER 12, 2015

BY: CHARLIE BRAUD

We had a light turnout for our September

match. A hearty welcome goes out to a new

shooter, Sal Molea. Sal started with a bang

posting a 39X40 in 22 LR Practical Hunter us-

ing a borrowed Ruger Charger with a bipod.

By doing so he jumped straight into Interna-

tional class. So he fired another entry in UAS

without the bipod and scored another 39X40,

missing the last ram. His spotter was calling

out the remaining time and he fired his 39

th

shot with only 15 seconds remaining forcing

him to rush that last shot. I feel confident Sal

with get his 40 very soon. We have only one

remaining match which is our State Champion-

ship scheduled for the first weekend in Octo-

ber.

ASCENSION SILHOUETTE

GONZALES, LA

OCTOBER 3-4, 2015

BY: CHARLIE BRAUD

Another shooting season has drawn to a close

at Ascension Silhouette with the completion of

our State Championship Match Oct 3-4. Shoot-

ers were in attendance from two other coastal

states as well as our home state of Louisiana.

Harry Stover and Steve Broxson came from

Florida to share the range with us and Region 2

Director Allen Gaskin came down from Mis-

sissippi. A total of 30 entries were fired over

the two day event. Heavily overcast skies and

gusty winds kept most of the scores down but

there were some exceptions. Jay Clark and I

each shot a 40X40 in UAS but Jay could not

stay for the shoot-off. There was however a

shoot-off in UAS/AAA between Robert Ste-

vens and David Heintz. It was very close and

came down to the last shot before it was decid-

ed. David came out on top with 6X10 vs Rob-

ert’s 5X10. Harry Stover put in a solid Field

Pistol performance with a 55 aggregate score.

We had several non-IHMSA members shoot

with us and even though they did not shoot for

official score I have their results included be-

low. Thanks to Robert and David for remain-

ing after the match to help with picking up the

targets and rails.

In other news, and barring any unforeseen

problems, we will see a return of Big Bore sil-

houette to Louisiana later this month. I plan to

host a match at a new facility in Hodge, LA on

October 24. A March to August schedule is

being planned for 2016. Additional details will

be made available as soon as I know them.

10/10/2015

Our last match of the season and it was treme

ndous! Excellent scores with many new high s

cores! This was the inaugural test ot the new res

et targets and they worked pretty good. Next y

ear we hope to have the full set 1/5 scale,

small bore and field pistol all on rope pull auto

resets. lt will really speed things up, especially

if we dont paint every single time.

Now on to the good scores, Thank-

you to our region 3 director Brian Gildea for

bringing out another new shooter,

Bill Williams. Bill says he loves shooting sil

houettes and will be back. Brian has singlehan

dedly brought out more new shoot-

ers in the past year than all the rest of Ohio s

hooters combined. We all need to look inward

and follow his lead and bring a friend to a mat

ch.

On the Field Pistol side, Carl Skidmore accu

mulated one more 60 club with a 60 agg 29/3

1 . Just squeeked that one in. There were some

great PAS scores. Bob Ochs shot his iron sigh

t gun in a re-entry in PAS and turned in a

fantas-

tic 33 with 3 shootoffs. Brothers Dave and Dou

g Ednety came over from Pa. to shoot with us

and Dave turned in a 33 but was edged by br

other Doug who had a 34 and 1. John Maple

proceeded to beat all with a 34 and 4 shootof

fs but Rich Baird showed up and tied John

with the same score. Rich shot another round

of shootoffs but John had to leave and technic

ally Rich won the tie breaker by countback wi

th more rams. lt was good to see Jim Lejman b

ack with us and he made a leg up in FP -P.

On the small bore side I was excited to see

how my reset targets were going to function a

nd some people seemed to real-

ly like them becasue they knocked a bunch of

them down. Bob Ochs had a perfect 40 and

missed just one of the shootoffs. Rich Baird fi

nally got his 2nd 40 in 1/5 scale UASFS and

is now International class. Congratulations Rich

,I think you are the only Ohio shooter to obtai

n this distinction. Isiah Herron finally got his

new gun and proceeded to shoot a 40/3 the ve

ry first time out with it. lt was Isiah's ver

y first 40 and gave him a leg into Int. in

SB UAS. BTW he had to shoot an alibi on

the last ram for the 40 which made it that muc

h more memorable. Brother Jeremiah cant wait

to get his hands on it so he can shoot his ow

n 40. Doug Edney shot an amazing 32 in SB

standing which by the way makes him INTERN

ATIONAL.! With his 29 in US this gave him

a 61 agg for the 60 club. Good shooting Doug.

Thanks for all who came out and helped set u

p and tear down. See you next year and keep u

p the good scores!

I know Steve Ware does not like weather reports but

I can’t help it! We were promised rain all morning

but all we got was a stiff northerly breeze and cool

temperatures so it made for a good and interesting

match!

Not too many half scale shooters, seems the small

critturs put some folk off.

Closest competition came in small bore UAS again

where both Howard and Pete posted 40’s, Pete man-

aged to get the edge on Howard with the shoot offs.

Best attendance at one of our matches for a long

time, but I need a way of getting the new shooters to

join IHMSA but there really is no incentive!

For the first time ever we had six perfect scores

posted, two each for Lorena, Howard and Pete each

shooter getting one in BB-UAS and one in SB-UAS.

Murray had a great time setting up the shoot offs to

break the three way ties, Pete took the Big Bore hon-

ours and Howard took the Small Bore ones. It was

good to see Ric Olsen on the line again, no cowboy

matches scheduled!

Last match for 2015 scheduled for 18

th

October.

Reasonable attendance for our last match of 2015,

moose season and a local Cowboy match thinned

our ranks a bit and hockey games for the boys meant

a lot of running around by old guys to set targets for

the first part of the match.

Only had one perfect score posted and that was by

Lorena in BB-UAS, beat her Dad by one animal!

Thanks to all who participated and made this a great

season, next match will be in April 2016 and hope-

fully we will have as good a year as this one.

Dan Harder, Match Director

3/7/2015

This was our annual fun match. Due to various

commitments several of our regular shooters were

unable to attend, but those of us that did had fun.

Because it was a “fun match” there were challenges

that weren't sanctioned competition. The one that

was the biggest challenge was a gopher silhouette

field target set at approximately 26 yards. The target

was about 5” high and 2” wide with a 1/2” hole in it.

Shooters had to shoot through the hole to hit the trig-

ger that dropped the target. The challenge was to

see who could drop the target with the fewest shots.

Ken LaCroix was the first to try with his UAS gun, a

Morini, and scored the first hit with 8 shots. Rick

Schrader was the second shooter with his Unlimited

gun, an IZH 46M, and scored a hit on the 9

th

shot.

Steve Martins was up next with his UAS gun, an

MG-1, and scored a hit on the second shot. Dan

Harder was next up with his Production gun, a

Crossman 1701P, and also scored a hit on the second

shot.

This was the Region 5 Airgun Championship for

2014. It was a great way to finish off the airgun

competition for the 2014/2015 winter. We had three

shoot-offs. There would have been a forth between

John Richards and his son A.J., but they had to leave

early. They both had Unlimited Standing scores of

55X60. I guess they will halve to decide how to

share the 1

st

place trophy. The shoot-off targets were

three ½ scale and two ¼ scale chickens in each

string of five targets and were set at different dis-

tances for the different classes. They were set at the

pig line for Production and Dan Harder won with 9

targets to Steve Marten's 7 targets. For Unlimited

the shoot-off targets were moved to the turkey line.

Steve Martens and Rick Schrader both shot Unlim-

ited 60X60 and Steve won first place with 8 targets

to Rick's 5. For UAS the shoot-off targets were

moved to the ram line. Steve won UAS with 9 of 10

shoot-off targets, Ken was second with 6 targets, and

Rick, using his Unlimited gun for UAS got 4 targets.

We had three competitors that shot all six classes

and Steve won the Iron Man with 329 of 360 possi-

ble targets. Steve also won the 3 Gun Aggregate

with 169 targets. John and A.J. won all of the stand-

ing classes, with John posting an impressive 159 of a

possible 180 targets. John won the Standing Aggre-

gate with 107 of a possible 120 targets.

August 14-16, 2015 Match Report

Idaho Falls, Idaho

Greg Merrell, Match Director

What a match to honor the memory of Larry Allen-

baugh by having the Larry Allenbaugh Memorial

Lava Bed Shootout. 97 guns shot in three days with

two shooters shooting 10 guns each (Roger Wood

and Michael Sussman) and two more with 9 guns

each (Bob Jeffery (drove down from Montana as

always) and Bill Pendleton Sr.). I don’t usually dis-

cuss the weather, but the WIND was absolutely hor-

rible with 15 mph all the time and gusts to 25 on

Friday and Saturday, and then calm on Sunday.

Even with the wind, some good scores were shot,

but no 40’s until Sunday and then only 1, that by

Tom Tressell in BB UAS. We had one shoot-off,

that in Small Bore UAS. My mistake cost Bill Sr.

the chance to participate (Sorry again Bill), but Mi-

chael Sussman and Tom Tressell shot it off with Mi-

chael coming out on top. The targets were pretty

small, but the guys really shot well on them – Good

Shooting. For once, Dave Harmer didn’t win 3 and

4 gun aggregates because he wasn’t here to do it. I

got lucky to win 3 and 4 gun aggregates in Big Bore

(only one to shoot standing), and Michael Sussman

won them in Small Bore. Michael also took top

honors in 1/5 scale – he was really shooting well. I

would like to thank some of the people that don’t get

mentioned very often for their support of our sport

(Fred Adams, Jerry Perks, Steve Mosher, Jim Miller,

Keith Archibald, Ned Rockwell, Bill Richens, Jesse

Bennet and Skip Jones). These people come out on

a routine basis and shoot and have fun - THANKS.

Jesse Bennet, our Club Secretary, got herself a new

TC barrel in 7 TCU and will be giving us all a run

for our money when she gets it going. She also

managed to win Field Pistol C with her TC 30 Car-

bine – good shooting. Our last match is in Septem-

ber, hopefully not as windy. See everyone then.

LASC Match Report

June 13 & 14, 2015

By Jim Harris

Thanks again to our target setters, and Ramon

and Joe, from the Young Marines!

Excitement continued to mount toward the up-

coming IHMSA World Championships to be

held here July 10-17. Lots of people coming out

for qualifying entries and just to sharpen up

their skills.

Topping the list of who’s who attending was

none other than fan-favorite and all-around

good guy, Scott Mann! Scott did some great

shooting despite the time he’s taken off to work

on his surfing.

Tough Break Department:

Karen Bailey wrote, “Yes, 7!” on her .22 rifle

card for the difficult 1/5 Size category, well be-

low her average.

Harry Sharp missed his last ram on ½ Scale

open sight for a perfect 39. (Been there, done

that, Harry!)

Looking forward to seeing great attendance to

the July IHMSA Championships!

2015 LASC Extravaganza

Labor Day Weekend, September 5-7, 2015

By Jim Harris

The 2015 Extravaganza is in the record books!

Thanks to the Young Marines, Ramon and

Joe, for their target setting and line-calling. The

match was run quickly and safely. We couldn’t

do this without your help!

Weather was a little warm, but not near the

terrible heat sometimes experienced in the past.

Wind was mild overall. So what explains the

generally lower scores this year? It will likely

be a topic for some time to come as shooters try

to puzzle out better scores.

Special thanks to our traveling competitors

out of Utah and Idaho: Dell Taylor and Bill

Pendleton. Steve Peck drove down from Neva-

da, and Dave Whitman from Oregon.

It was interesting to see Ted Matthies shoot-

ing so many standing events, including rifles.

This earned Ted the top honors in the rifle com-

petition with a 35x40.

Steve Hannawacker was entered in a lot of

different handgun categories, resulting in Match

Winner in Smallbore with his strong Production

score, 40x40 plus 2 shoot-off targets.

Jerry Ray must be reaping good karma from

being the club’s match director – JR took the

Big Bore Match Winner with a terrific Unlim-

ited score of 40x40 plus three shoot-offs, block-

ing Dennis “Moose” Edwards from the win with

his 40+2.

Dennis didn’t go home empty-handed – he

took the Big Bore Revolver title with a 39 using

his own homemade cast bullets!

Dan Hagerty had a bit of an up-and-down

match, but managed to win the BB Production

category with a 39, missing a chicken! He

placed well in many categories, but I noticed he

missed chickens a few times on other entries – a

bit out of practice, Dan? Dan gets the “Guts

Award” for shooting his Production gun in open

sight ½ Scale.

A great time was had by all, and we hope to

see you all next year, and at our regular monthly

matches.

__ We will hopefully be signing up a new member,

Frank Kodl. He shot UAS with us today and shot

well for his first time out.

Things were close in UAS with Gordy taking the

title by 1 target and earning High Senior as well.

Ron retained his position at the top of the heap in

US and Tom took USIS.

Thanks to Gordy, Tom, Ron & Frank for helping

to set up and tear down the range.

Sorry that this report is so late. It took me a while to

get caught up from six days in Oxnard. Thanks to

Paul for running the match and to all who helped

him set up and tear down the range.

We had Mike Abel and Doug Hockinson shooting

Standard Handgun in FP-P with Doug taking the

honors. Dave Whitman took the FP-PAS title by one

target from Paul Hoadley. Dave also took the SB-P

title from Rick Redd by 1 target. I’m thinking those

two will be looking for a rematch next month.

The Fifth Scale folks had a close one with Mike

Abel taking the title with reverse animal count from

Rick Redd.

The Rifle shooters are growing. Rich Burket

brought 2 rifles and Walt Padgett brought a new

shooter.

Rick Redd was our SB-U champion with the only

perfect score of the day. That also earned him High

Senior.

First, we welcome Frank Kodl as our newest mem-

ber. Frank has been attending our air pistol & small

bore matches for the last few months. He is a great

addition to our club. & thanks Frank for helping to

set up today.

Tom Santos took the UAS & USIS titles and High

Senior. Ron Silveira beat me by 1 target in US, and

neither of us were thrilled with our scores.

It was a good match with 22 entries. Mike Abel

was to attend & he and Dave Whitman were going

to have a 40 Shorty duel. Mike decided to go hunt-

ing; so, Dave got a day of practice in. We’ll see if

the duel will happen in November. Over in the PAS

side of FP, Paul Hoadley trounced everyone & took

that title. Paul also took the SB US title. However,

Dave did take the Fifth Scale title.

Rich Burket brought both his Remington & Mar-

tini rifles. He shot the Martini on the Field Pistol

targets. Somehow, he and I both got stuck shooting

scores of 22 in every event we shot!

On the Small Bore side, Rick Redd took the P &

U titles, Frank Kodl was our Standing winner &

Charlie Dean took the Revolver title. Rick was also

High Senior.

Thanks to Dave, Paul, Charlie, Rick, Rich, &

Paul for helping to set up and tear down the range.

__ We had three new shooters this month. Steve

Bishop brought his brother Jon over to give his new

to him Ruger SBH a go at some steel. Jon managed

a R-Unc, 7 for his first time all without any initial

sight settings. Also Mike Wagenbach from Seattle

and Derik Andreoli from Kirkland came out to give

it a try. Mike shot an entry in smallbore P-Unc and

posted a very respectable 23 using his Ruger MkII.

He then shot a FP P-Unc 9 using a Ruger redhawk,

Nice shooting Mike. Derik shot two entries with his

browning buckmark. The first in UAS-Unc posting

a 21 and then in FP PAS-Unc posting a 19. Not bad

for a first time out. Hope all our new shooter come

back and shoot with us on a regular basis.

No 40's this month. In UAS-AAA, Steve Bishop

shot a 39 missing a one ram. In U-Int, I managed

another entry into the Last Ram Club with a 39 and

missing of course the last ram. Guess I got a little

complacent and took it for granted. Steve Cozort

was back this month and managed a UASHS-AAA

31. Joe Stumpf got a respectable R-AA, 30

On the Smallbore side Joe Stumpf posted a UAS-

AAA, 36. Vince Leete posted a nice P-AAA, 31.

Dave Chalfant posted a S-AAA, 16.

In Field Pistol Dave Chalfant posted a Very nice P

-AAA, 27. Vince Leete posted a PAS-AAA, 23.

Nice shooting guys.

Once again our target setters did a fantastic job.

Thanks to all who stayed to help pick up targets after

the match.

Until next time shoot straight and be safe.

NEBRASKA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH;

September 17-20

We had a great State Championship Match, with more

entries than ever before. There were 103 to be exact mak-

ing it 19 more than last year. It started out HOT the first

day, then cool and rainy, in fact so cool one could see

there breath but that all changed for Saturday and Sunday,

turning out to be great weather for the last two days. Any

day one can shoot is a good day just some days are better

than others. Ed Mundorf put in a lot of time getting our

range and the self-setting Big Bore target setters installed

and working. Ed, Ron Teselle, and Mike Kunkee ran the

Match while Jami Knerl kept the scores up to date on the

computer and a “BIG THANKS” to ALL who helped get

the range ready for the match.

There were shooters from Canada, Kansas and cities

throughout the State. From Lincoln Jeff Shults shot (for

the first time) a 40 in UAS …“Good Shooting” Jeff.

Chuck Pfitzer also shot a 40 in UAS moving him up to

INT. Daryl Growcock, in FP-PAS and Chuck Pfitzer in

BB Standing, got a “Leg” up. There were 6-40’s and

other good scores throughout the match. (Listed below are

the Aggregate winners and the Match scores).

IZAAK WALTON LEAGUE:

Lincoln Nebraska

By Chuck Pfitzer

October, was a small turn out but as always a fun Match.

We had my son in-law from North Dakota for a guest. He

has never tried Silhouette shooting before and was thrilled

when he hit 4 out 5 Rams the first time he tried them. We

will be moving indoors for the next few months shooting

pellet guns for the winter Silhouette Matches with out-

door Matches starting back up in March or April. Re-

member keep your primers and powder dry.
