| The Arms Collectors would like to publicly thank the Association of New Jersey Rifle and Pistol Clubs for the use of their Cherry Ridge Range Facility, located near Vernon, NJ. Due to circumstances beyond our control, we could not hold this shoot without their greatly appreciated help. |
In memory of the hardships faced by friend and foe alike in the many winter campaigns from the American Revolution through present day hunting in Winter Alaska, The New Jersey Arms Collectors Club was proud to sponsor our Annual Historical Winter Shoot featuring arms used in Winter Conflicts 1775 - 2012.
Lou Sonnenberg arrived early and was totally prepared for the cold. He had a Coleman stove and coffee pot and offered up some great Chicken Noodle Soup, coffee and hot chocolate. - Thank you Louis.
Dave Johnson and Rich Gajda handled targets and registration. We had over 40 participants in the shoot and all but one contest had entrants. Tom Plante brought the target frames. Rich Gajda helped Tom with the scoring.
Our usual "chef" Joe Lutz was out with a severe cold, so Chuck Collins filled in with cooking Hot Dogs, Kielbasa, Kraut, and beans. Chuck did an excellent job and there were no complaints.
Stan Gurski, our shoot chairman ran the line as usual. Following a quick meeting to discuss procedures and safety, the shoot got underway about 10:00AM.
In addition to the Usual Suspects, we had a new Young Warrior, and a couple of women shooters as well. However, our women shooters never turned in a score, so the Sarah Palin Trophy was not awarded.
We had one entry for Balkan Front, but the rifle used was wrong for the match, so we had no entries for that match either.
Shooters were asked to score their own targets, and Rich Gajda and Tom Plante verified the scores. Several targets actually scored higher than indicated. The matches ended by 3:00 but scoring was just completed by 3:45. Trophies were handed out and everyone went home happy.
Most of the benches were used as we had more than 35 shooters enter the match.
Copies of all winning targets have been scanned and can be seen by clicking on the score.
