| 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.
We had over 23 shooters on the line. Dave Johnson manned the Soup Kitchen, doling out Soup, Coffee and Tea. He also doubled as scorekeeper and scored targets as they came in.
Bob Weis, who had been storing our target frames, delivered them to Tom Plante's house. Tom then brought them to the range and arrived just before 9:00.
Our usual "chef" Joe Lutz was back in service. He cooked up a huge pot of his baked beans, along with hot dogs, kielbasa, chili, and kraut.
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. They turned in some very impressive targets.
Dave Johnson scored the targets as they came off the line. Tom Plante recorded
and determined the winners. The matches ended by 3:00 but scoring and handing out trophies took 'till 4:00.
Trophies were handed out and everyone went home happy.
We had some exceptional shooters this year, especially in the Sarah Palin Class. Donna M turned in several
perfect scores and was beaten only by group size in two matches. She was our Sarah Palin Winner.
A new shooter was one of our big winners. Ben D captured several awards in highly contested matches.
Overall it was a very good day. Lunch was great. Everyone had a good time and we are looking forward to
our next shoot in April.
All the winning targets have been scanned and can be seen by clicking on the winning score. Where we had ties,
all the targets were scanned.
Andy G won a few events and of course shot a perfect X for the Sniper Trophy.
