2021 Scholarship Recipient

Black Powder The Clinton River Muzzleloaders sponsored a special event to honor and celebrate the DSC Range Safety Officer volun-teers. This special woods walk event was held Saturday, Aug. 14. Current RSOs of all venues had a chance to try out the DSC Black Powder/Woods Walk range. They got to shoot for no fees as all charges were picked up by a couple of DSC members. About 15-20 range officers came out and their re-ac ons were quite posi ve. Some enjoyed shoo ng on a range that they barely knew existed. Others enjoyed learning about black powder shoo ng and all seemed to appreciate

that their Range Safety Officer service had been recognized and thanked. I hope we do it again. The monthly muzzleloader wood walk was held Aug. 8. The weather was warm and muggy. Even so, seven shooters came out, braving the mosquitoes and mugginess. DSC was well represented by three musketeers. Marty Greiner, Eric Giessl and myself were the top three finishers. Of note, Marty had the best trick shot for the day. We challenged him to shoot the target through a leaf that was covering some of the Con nued on Page 10

Dear DSC Members and Board of Directors, My name is Skylar Moore-field and I want to thank the scholarship commi ee for awarding me with a scholar-ship to con nue my educa-

on this fall. I stated my journey at DSC when I was 12 years old with Junior pistol and rifle nights. My pistol days did not last long because I was not very good. But, I con n-ued on with rifle for about four years. I enjoyed a end-ing the Christmas, Easter, and Thanksgiving shoots through-out those years. During that me, those Friday nights were what I would look forward to every week. I met some pre y

amazing people who inspired me to be a be er shooter and have fun. The person that brought me into the shoo ng world was my grandfather, Stan Surra . He and my Grandmother would take me shoo ng every Fri-day night, where they would watch me shoot and provide encouragement. So, I want to thank them for being the best grandparents ever. Stan is the reason why I was able to apply for this scholarship. He made me a part of an amazing communi-ty of people. I am grateful to be his granddaughter. In the fall, I will be a end-ing Oakland University to pursue a degree in electrical engineering.

Thanks to the generous scholarship I received, I will be able to focus more on the most important aspect of school, learning. Lastly, I want to thank any-one and everyone who was a part of my journey at the DSC. I truly loved and have

missed spending my me there. I love this community! Sincerely, Skylar Moorefield, Granddaughter of Stan Sur-ra Oakland University - Class of 2025

The DSC hosted the Michigan Rifle and Pistol Associa on State Championship for Smallbore Silhoue e July 17 and 18. Four-teen shooters a ended. The DSC was well represented in both a endance and honors. There are two categories. One is for rifle set-up specifically for smallbore silhoue e com-pe on – Standard Rifle. The other is for reg-ular 22 hun ng rifles – Hun ng Rifle. In Standard Rifle, the DSC had two winners. Gary Dawson was the state champion while Steve Schneider finished first in B class. In Hun ng rifle, Gary finished first in AAA class, Jim Rhodes was first in AA class, Corey Salo was first in A class, and the author finished first in B class. The weather was good and it was a fun event. The DSC hosted two CMP Games matches on the Rifle Range Aug. 1. One was for M1 carbines and the other for vintage foreign military rifles. There were seven shooters for the carbine match. The top shooter was the author with a score of 347 – good for a silver medal. Next was Jim Rhodes with a 323 – one point from a medal. However, special thanks goes out to Jim for not only running the match but actually supplying the M1 car-bines for six out of the seven compe tors. I think I got to shoot his best one. In the vintage military match, there were nine entries. The top shooter was Jim

Steve ,passed away at the end of July. He was a long me member and shotgun shooter. Addi on-ally , he was grandfather to member Andrew Bielman.

Steve Osinski

Rhodes shoo ng a 257 with his M1917 En-field. Special men on goes to Mike Lucas. He shot a score of 280 with both his M1 Gar-and and 03A3 but was out of compe on for the foreign bolt gun category. The DSC will host a match specifically for the M1 Garand and 1903 and 03A3 Spring-fields, Sept. 19, so Mike can do it again then. This is another fun match for the old guns and I hope you can come out and give it a try. Further details on this event can be found on the “Coming Events” page of the DSC website or elsewhere in this issue of the P&K. By Walter Opdycke

Junior Skeet & Trap DSC has developed our Junior Shotgun Program into a great youth program dedicated to the shotgun clay target sports. As our mo o states; “We Break Clays”. We are partnered with the Scholas c Clay Target Program to par cipate with a fantas-

c organiza on dedicated to teach and demonstrate sports-manship, responsibility, honesty, ethics, integrity and team-work. This allows us to develop coaches under the Posi ve Coaching Alliance, team funding through USA Midway Founda-

on and opportuni es to shoot under Na onal Skeet Associa-on, Na onal Spor ng Clays Associa on, American Trap Asso-

cia on and USA Shoo ng to pursue their Olympic dreams. Our DSC Junior Shotgun Team has par cipated in three or-ganized shoo ng events, S.E. SCTP Conference Championship hosted by DSC, SCTP State Shoot hosted by The Detroit Gun Club and SCTP American Na onal Championships hosted by The Cardinal Shoo ng Center in Marengo, Ohio. The DSC Junior Shotgun Team competed in the S.E. SCTP Confer-ence Championship hosted by DSC May 15, 2021. Let’s give a big shout out to the following athletes who competed in this event: James Bea y, Bryce Bolman, Dakota Gen-try, Chris Go schalk, Blake Griffith, Colton Hensley, Logan Lambert, Sid Ryszka, Jeremy Salisbury, Ma hew Shepan and Sydney Wells. The day was split between spor ng clays in the morning and skeet in the a ernoon. Watching our athletes ge ng ready for their compe on, I no ced a mixture of nervousness and excitement. We prac ced over the prior months ge ng ready for the event; forming our squads, developing friendships and increasing the compe ve experi-ence. Our day finally arrived and glint of our athlete’s eyes showed them thoroughly ve ed in the upcoming tournament. As the horn blew for spor ng clays, shots rang with an echo. DSC junior shotgunners summoned all they had and shot the en re 100-round course. When finished, up to the skeet fields to prepare for another shotgun sport. A small break, some-thing to eat and hydrate, change chokes and get ready to shoot skeet when the referee called your squad. With no me wasted, the DSC Junior Shotgunners went through another 100 rounds in record me. When all is said and done, medals were coming our way. There were eight gold, six silver and three bronze medals awarded our DSC Junior Shotgunners including one member, Ma Shepan, who was awarded gold medals as TOP Shooter Athlete in Spor ng Clays, Intermediate/Entry Level and TOP Shooter Athlete in Skeet, Intermediate/Entry. As an added bo-nus, Ma shot his first 25 in skeet compe on! I want to give thanks to the many people who made it pos-

sible for us to run this event. Without them, it would never have happened. Thank you Al McGee and crew in Spor ng Clays for a job well done, Rick Trawinski for se ng up the skeet and special thanks for Frank Pantalina and Rich Curle for going well beyond what was expected; all day pulling and refereeing for a mul tude of shooters! The SCTP officials, par-

cipants and I appreciate everything you did to make it hap-pen. In final thought, as their head coach, I could not have been more proud of our athletes. They represented themselves with dignity and good sportsmanship throughout the games. As our mo o says: “We Break Clays”. Congratula ons to the following athletes and team squads in spor ng clays; Ma Shepan Gold Medal for Top Gun Inter-mediate/Entry level class, Team Squad Members Ma Shepan, Dakota Gentry, Bryce Bolman; Gold Medal winners Intermedi-ate/Entry level class, Team Squad Members Colton Hensley, Sid Ryszka, Jeremy Salisbury; Silver Medal winners Senior/Varsity level class.

M1 Match ~ Sun. Sept. 19, 2021 ~ 11:30 a.m.

Con nued from Page 1 target. He put a nice hole in the leaf and hit the target too. The most interes ng rifle at the match was a Hall rifle made in the 1820s. It is notable because it was the world’s first military breechloading issued in sig-nificant numbers. They were made at the Harpers Ferry Arsenal. This example had been converted to per-cussion some me before the Civil War. It was cool to

see it shoot. September brings us two special Black Powder events. Sunday Sept. 12, we have the monthly Black Powder Woods walk and Saturday, Sept. 25 we have the 22 rim-fire rifle woods walk.

The American cowboy roamed the plains west of the Mississippi River. His job involved tending cattle, usually miles from where he lived and for months at a time. So, the cowboy developed a functional manner of dress that suited his unique lifestyle. Some of the key elements of cowboy attire have entered the American popular imagi-nation and become symbols of a romantic and lost way of life. American cowboys borrowed much of their clothing ideas from the earlier “vaqueros” or herdsmen of Mexi-can and American Indian descent who migrated north-ward over the Rio Grande River into Texas. Necessity dictated the cowboy’s way of dress. He had to carry eve-rything he might need with him on his horse. Cowboys were plagued by many dangers, including hostile Ameri-can Indians, cattle rustlers, rattlesnakes, sudden rain-storms, flooding rivers and stampeding cattle. Conse-quently, everything the cowboy wore or kept close at hand was designed to help him overcome these obstacles. A typical cowboy outfit consisted of the fol-lowing items: Shirt usually made of muslin (cotton fab-ric). In the 1890s most work shirts were of the pullover variety, had but-tons or lacing running partially down the front. A large kerchief/neckerchief tied loosely around the neck per-formed a variety of functions. He could use it to protect his mouth and nose from dust, cover the back of his neck to protect against sunburn, or use it as a makeshift sling for a broken arm. A wide-brimmed hat to protect the wearer from the harsh elements of the open plain. The most famous cowboy hat of all was designed by John B. Stetson of Philadelphia, Pa. Many cowboys wore Stetson hats that came to be known as “The Boss of the Plains”. To protect his legs while riding through the thorny brush, the cowboy wore a set of leggings called chaps. “Chaps” is the Mexican word for leggings. They were made of leather or hide, often with fur left on the outside, and covered only the front of the legs to allow for movement. The most expensive item of cowboy ward-robe was their boots. A high “Cuban” heel would prevent the boot from slipping through the stirrup. They could grind the heel into the ground when roping a steer of calf from the ground. Spurs were used to control, but to nev-er punish, the horse. At times there was a need for guns and all men carried them. No pistol of less than .44 cali-ber was tolerated on the range. .45 caliber being the most universally used. The saddle, a cowboys most valu-able possession. A good stock saddle weighed 40 to 50 pounds. It came with a prominent front horn made of steel and a rope coiled and tossed over it.
