President’s Corner:
I'd like to thank
everyone who came out and took part in the 1911 Match of 2 June. About 25
people showed up to fire the course, and another ten or so showed up just
to see what it was all about. Considering that this was an event that had
never before been attempted at the CSC, I'd say it was rather successful.
Since that day, I have received several emails from people who competed stating
that they had a great time and would like to see it continue. I'm hopeful
that we can do something similar in the fall, maybe during October. Watch
the newsletter for future details.
One thing several
shooters observed was the extreme degree of cooperation between those in
attendance along with the event's overall relaxed atmosphere. The skill
levels of those who competed ranged from novice up to the highly
advanced. When our range official and CSC member Craig Salmon, a master police
firearms instructor, took time to help those less skilled through the course of
fire, everyone else on the firing line displayed
extreme patience and understanding. One non-member who drove 2 1/2 hours to the
match told me that he was extremely impressed with the amount of
cooperation and consideration he
witnessed. This speaks well of our membership. A CSC member whom I
have a lot of respect for told me that he thoroughly enjoyed the event because
of it's relaxed atmosphere and the fact that it
required the shooter to concentrate on basic marksmanship skills. This
was my intended goal.
I'd also like to thank
my friends Ryan Wilson, Vice President of Wilson Combat (makers of, in my opinion,
the world's finest hand-built 1911 pistols) and his executive assistant Tressa Logue, for their support by donating some of
their top quality 1911 magazines and discount certificates. These
were extremely nice prizes. I'd also like to thank Craig Salmon for
donating some of the other prizes along with Kim Hake who handled
registration and statistical issues. We're looking forward to
another match.
