RAIN-DEE-VOO 2008 WINS THE WEATHER LOTTERY
First chance in 2008 for the western Washington buckskinners to hit the rondy trail was just south of Littlerock, where the Puget Sound Free Trappers of Capitol City Rifle and Pistol Club hosted their annual event. Starting at noon on Friday February 15th, Booshway Tom Brown opened the gates for a dry, cool session. Fair weather and cool nights greeted the100 registrants, comprised of 11 under 12’s, 3 juniors, 11 women and 75 men. 32 campers won the weather gamble and had at least bearable weather conditions. Over a dozen traders welcomed the patrons including a number of visitors from the community.

Archery Practice Range & Trail

We had 19 shooters and 28 guns for the match and had excellent weather for the October beginner/intermediate match. The match was conducted on bays 2 and 3 of the Action Pistol Range. It was cold in the morning but warmed up a lot by noon when we finished.

With special thanks to Harvey Gertson for mailing the invitations, we had as many people show up for this years’ sight in over one weekend as we did last year in two weekends. This sight in was also conducted with about one fourth the number of volunteers as previous years. Their involvement and conduct made a fun day for the shooters and a great impression for the club. Several of these volunteers came both days.

Black Powder Muzzle Loading monthly matches will resume on Saturday, October 6th. At the usual time (Shooting start at 1000) and accustomed location (The Black Powder Range, naturally).
