A few of the GTA members finally meet up in South Carolina..
After what seems like years a few of the GTA members finally get together for a perfect weekend of fun shooting and getting well aquainted with one another. My only regret was that it was only a few members instead of the whole GTA gang..
But we managed to do enough shooting and talking to fill the weekend with allot of fun and happiness. Firts I will give you the name of the GTA members and wives that attended the get together. Mike aka Splash, and his wife Tiffani, Martin aka MartinDWhite, Gary aka Curioguy, BOb aka CDT, Gene, aka Gene_SC, Frits and Missy.. Bob and my miniature pinchers.. Took a few pictures myself and so did Tiffani.
We all brought and drug out our ladies to shoot. Everyone just past around ther favorites to each other to shoot and there sure were a lot of wow's and oh's going on...
In perticular was Mike, aka Splash's home grown B-3 $20.00 Cummins special..
I had the pleasure of holding, touching, eyeing and shooting it and I was amazed at how smooth and accurtate she was. You will see in a couple of the pictures how much detail was put into the exterior of the B-3. But for sure Mike has spent many hours refining the shooting cycle of this little tack driver. Then Mike brought out his thumbhole stock that was attached to a hunter action. A natural wood with teak oil rubbed in. It was very lite and erginomic. It sure fit me great. I could lay the hooked but into my shoulder and lay my cheek on the cheek well and my eye would be the perfect height for the scope. Fantastic job Mike and thanks for bringing it to show off. I want one...
Martin brought his CFX that was tuned by CDT which was a real sweety to shoot. And it seems Martin likes them Pistola's because he was hitting the spinning spoons at 35 yards with no problem. He will have to chime in on the models he was shooting. But one thing is for sure, Martin can sure shoot dim pistola's..
Then there was little bitty Tiffani, Mike's wife..
She did not know what hit her. I asked Mike if she ever shoots at home and Mike said no. Never shot any of his air rifles. Well let me tell you, Tiffani is an natural with the air rifles. She was shooting our socks off..
I know she went through at least a tin of pellets between 4 or 5 different air guns she was shooting. Shooting at different distances and hitting her mark consecutively...
I think the Peak has met her match.. hehe
Gary akaCurioguy, showed up on Saturday and the shooting begain to get even better. We moved the targets all around again then started pasting up new targets. You can see in the pictures that there were at least a half dozen different targets scattered around the back yard. In the trees, bushes and on the ground..
Gary begun shooting all the spinning spoons and worked his way over to the paint balls on tee's. We had some of the paint balls scattered on the ground that Mike had brought and on one of my stands as well, plus scatter blasters set in the ground in different places as well. Allot of moving targets such as golf balls, pieces of aluminum, spoons and other spinners scattered around. It was fun and we never run out of someting to shoot. Both days we shot till it was almost dark..
Getting back to Gary aka Curioguy..
We all kept him busy shooting all our air rifles we had there. Was like a fire and we were passing air rifles down to Gary to shoot instead of buckets of water to put the fire out..
All in all Iknow I had a fantastic time. I know I will always have fun at any shooting event. You just can not help it with good people to talk and shoot with. I will try and get the names on these pictures correctly..
OH! and at the end of pictures there are 2 shots of Mike's B-3..
Here is the first picture with names below:
