2009 "Old" Northwest Frolic Results

[nobber]

Well it was another busy weekend but I think we all survived. The event got a little bigger, not as much as we had hoped but bigger none the less. This year we had 10 shooters 9 adult members and one junior with 14 total people at the rendezvous. We ran out of gas on Sunday and didn't have the brigade shoot but we did squeeze in the monthly postal shoot. The Good Lord blessed us with great weather on Saturday and Sunday both and we took advantage of it. There were 5 states represented and had 2 members renew and a new junior member join up. The food was great as was the company as always!! The results of the events was:

PS: OK all you folks who took pics last weekend here is were you need to start posting them!!

[Two Steps]

Eric...if I can outsmart my little camera, I'll try and post links to the various short videos I made.  Just don't even think that I can edit them...that wasn't covered in the  "Push this button 101" class.

I want to say that the event was just a great time!!  As always, it's great to meet the folks in person that you have only met on the forum.

Eric, Tim, Ed, Miss Mary, Cole and all the others involved did a Great Job of keeping everything running smoothly.  There was never any, hurry hurry..rush, rush...but everything got done, and done well.   I'm extremely glad that Eric didn't charge us extra for smiling or laughing...I promise ya..we'd all be broke.

This is the first camp I've been to where all of the meals were camp meals.  My food box came home with the same contents it took to camp.   Coffee first thing every morning and full meals for the rest of the day.  I, as a habit, carry jerky, dried fruit etc in my belt bag to munch on throughout the days activities...I never touched a bite!  I was too full to even think about  a slice of dried apple.  Mary did NOT want to see anyone hungry...she didn't.

The shooting was great as was the camaraderie.  The shooting would have been a little better if I had actually hit a few more targets (Ok, if I had hit the targets   )  
The only problem I saw was that Ed just didn't understand the complexity of  a planned ricochet shot at carrot pieces!!  All of my planning and skill went for naught...just because one of Ed's rubber bands got in front of my planned ricochet shot and broke itself!!  I think it was the stress the rubber band felt at facing my obvious skill...but Ed wouldn't budge...no score!

Since Eric didn't mention the extra special, one of a kind prize that I walked away with...I won't mention it either.  We surely don't want other members to feel slighted.

Before I stop blabbing here, thanks to Dan for entertaining us with his picking and strumming...and to Zan for entertaining and educating us with her fine historical narration.
And thank you Hank, for allowing me to R.O.N. at your place.

Thanks again Eric for setting this event up AND for doing so much to involve the TMA .  Almost 1800 miles is a long way to drive for a two day event, but I'm glad I did it!!

Hmm...No pics yet?  

[Chairslayer]

We're all waiting for you, Al. I didn't have time to take any pics.

[Two Steps]

I'm a tryin' Dan...I'm a tryin'.  Downloading the film clips to the computer is one thing...Getting em where I can link to em and they make sense is another.  Some of the clips are waayyy too long and I need to cut out some of the dead time
