We had the 9th annual Farm Bureau steel shoot last weekend at the Carmi Rifle Club.  The weather was nearly perfect this year, and the heat held off until we were done picking up afterwards. We had a rules and safety meeting for all participants and split into three groups.  Everyone shot three stages; the plates were rearranged, and we shot three more stages before a fantastic lunch.  Here we see all of our shooters.

Here are the big winners!  Raya Adcock, Youth Winner; Rachel Hast, Pistol Raffle Winner, Ruger Competition Mk IV donated by the Gun Room, Norris City; Lucas Lueke, Second Place Youth; Justin Aldrich, First Place Adult; Gordon Simpson, Third Place Adult; Lynn  Simmons, Second Place Adult.

Here's Dawn blasting away.  She hardly ever practices and still beats most of us.

Sheryl is shooting fire!  She is a serious shooter and always puts me to shame.  Hmmm, maybe I should switch to Browning.

Lucas has been shooting for just over a year, and has plenty of youthful enthusiasm. Mk IV pistols seem to be replacing Mk IIIs.

Matt Rhinehart was running a GSG 1911-22.  These full size pistols seem to run on any brand of .22 ammo, and they are a fine choice for a recreational .22 pistol.
