The free lunch from the club was a nice surprise and Cliff Gardon's homemade potato salad was great. Congrats to all, lets do it again next year.

Were there any hero's, did anyone break the 100?.........Ken Jeffries

We had a good time, Didn't shoot 1000 but 500 is my limit. Maddy did a very good job scoring. Targets were good, beautiful weather, free lunch, it is something your club should do as often as possible. I enjoyed shooting with Pat& Barb, Jim Matteson, and my friend Wayne. Doubles marathon's are fun & the club benifits from throwing lot's of targets. Dean kept the targets shootable with an incoming wind that kept raising the targets. I thank you again,Steve Farver......

 

[Harv Shell]

Ken, no centuries in my group, didn't hear of any in the other group. I did manage to lower my average 7 targets, grrrrrr.

 

[K-Hornet]

Ken, you missed a good shoot and some nice targets, and everyone had a good time. Mandy and Zack scored all day and they did a bang up job. They didn't take a break except for lunch and after talking with the other shooters only about a total of five corrections were made on the score sheets for called targets on 8400 thrown. Can not say enough about those young adults. Kent, Nick and Ken filled the houses too fast and we did not get a long enough break between rounds. Don't think we had twenty broken targets eather. Thing went smooth all day. Picked up 2 targets on my average though. Maybe next year for you...

 

[Hogsan]

Our Next Doubles Marathon will include Awards, Lunch and the same scorekeeping, support and great targets. The 17th was a trial and another HCP shoot was going on in the area. Watch our website for the 2011 DGSC Doubles Marathon. Thanks for the comments and feedback
