NOVEMBER 24TH: Happy Thanksgiving Day. We started out a great Thankgiving by going to a great event --the 50th Annual BILLIE CREEK / KUHN RAIL FARM TRAPSHOOT. This was one of cousin Chuck's favorite happenings and I know he was there is spirit and well represented. I think there had to have been over 50 shooters including Chuck's daughters -- Deb, Lisa and Chris and Chuck's son-in-law, Craig. Juri and I were not able to stay for all five rounds at the five different stations. And I don't know for sure, but I'd have to guess that one of the Dodson's won first prize. They were all straight shooters and seemed to find the mark on most shoots. Which was a lot more than I could say. Will got 17 of 25 which was very respectable, too. All in all, it was a great start to a great day and a great tradition.
To get a real flavor of the morning's shoot, take a look at some of the movie clips. Generally, these are very large files, so a broadband connection is best for transferring. To view them, you must first copy them to your own computer by right clicking over the highlighted movie and use the "Save As" feature to put it in a file of your choice. Then open it from your own computer.
