OLD BUSINESS

 

Ron and Charlie being the only ones at the work day prior to the shoot in May decided to decline. 

 

Charlie said the back stop for the range was still ok, but could used new sheets.  Dave asked if there were enough funds in the shoot fund, around $200, for the sheeting.  Jan said there was enough money.  John said he got some photographic targets from Jamie, and would bring then for the next shoot.

 

Pat and Charlie showed the horn made by Pete for the Blue Jacket Match winner.  All thought the horn was very impressive with a very nice strap.   She would take to Rita to take to the winner and present it to him with Father John. 

 

NEW BUSINESS

 

Jan said that bringing back the Blue Jacket match and award involved a great deal of work by a lot of people. Charlie went over the history of the match.  A few years ago no one was working on getting the scores and getting an award to the winner.  It was basically ignored in 2005 and 2006.  The shingles were still mostly recorded and were sent in, but it ended there.  It may have been for need for other matters, but little was done.  The first thing to do was to get the 5 boshways to send in the shingles and medallions, then score the shingles sent in, and finally get the awards out and the match results announced.  Rita helped here getting things going at NRLHF.  Then a club had to take it over and get all of the shingles, do the scoring work, get the prize, get the prize to the winner, and announce the results.  The Jefferson Longrifles completed that.  John said that there will be an article in Muzzle Blasts about the Blue Jacket Match and the powder horn and strap that will go to the winner.  Jan said another article should appear in 6 months.  Gary remembered that when he won the Blue Jacket Match a few years ago, he only got a certificate.  The mounted shingles did look very nice.

 

The club brought up the idea of switching the meeting to the 4th of July, but then it was decided to keep on the 2nd of July or first Thursday of July.  In honor of the 4th, there will be hot dogs.

 

At 8:15 PM Jan motioned to close the meeting and Gary seconded.  The ayes were unanimous except for John’s nay.

 

Bob did clean up.
