EIGHTH ANNUAL JOHN BUCKMASTER MEMORIAL TRAPSHOOT.  PITA REGISTERED.

BOISE GUN CLUB.  FEBRUARY 20TH, 2011.

 

“Well, at least it isn’t raining this time” said one shooter to his friend as they got ready to shoot the singles event. Unfortunately for them and the rest of the shooters at the 8th Annual John Buckmaster Memorial shoot, it was snowing instead.

With snow falling most of the day and a breeze during the singles, 49 shooters fired at 10,300 registered targets on a day dedicated to the memory of 13 of their shooter friends who had passed away in 2010. Being honored were the memories of: John Aschenbrener, Monty Brooks, Dave Claiborne, Bob Crist, Gary Gould, Jim Hall, Cy Hatfield, Ray Malone, Ray Miller, Tommy Parsons, Richard Stack, Tony Welton, and Chuck Wright.

Despite having shot for less than a year, Levi Veatch continued to set a blistering pace. Two weeks earlier he had won the coveted H-O-A champions award for the Third Multiplex event of the year and at Boise he won the doubles by 5 birds, topped the handicap by one, and was the shoot H-O-A champion by 6 targets.

Shooters and their guests enjoyed looking at displays of historical shooting books, vests, patches, pins, scrapbooks, and other shooting memorabilia. 36 shooters turned in their “Beer with Buck” tickets for a free beer or pop after the shooting was over.
