April 24, 2009

Friday April 24, 2009 turned out to be a beautiful day with 212 shooters coming out to shoot the 3rd event of the year. Of the 212 shooters,  49 were new members. Shooters were treated to the same targets shot at the Cajun Oilman with the exception of 4 stations.
Top shooters for the day were James Scriber with a score of 93, Chad Motty with 89 and a 3 way tie for third between Keith Talley, Mike Trahan and Kim Istre with a score of 87.
            All members of L.O.S.T. want to send out a thank you to Allen Ingram and crew from Blanchard Construction and Kirt Hebert and crew from LVS for the great food and to Jody Watkins with Blue Fin for providing the refreshments. Great job guys, thanks again!!!
            Once again the L.O.S.T. organization has been charged for overages. This time Scott and Josie gave us a break on the extra targets shot by participants. By Scotts’ calculations we shot over 1,700 targets more targets than we should have. Even with a break on the numbers we still lost the profits from 12 shooters to overage. If this continues we will have to go up on the rate or fold as an organization, neither which we want to do. As an organization we make very little off of the fees charged and if we continue to have to give up the profit it becomes useless to continue holding this fund raiser. It is okay to shoot extra targets but you as an individual need to pay for them, not all the members of L.O.S.T..
Starting at the next shoot we would like for all members to start marking on the scorecard any target that is thrown that is broken. Also on the scorecard please mark any extra targets that you shoot. When you turn in your scorecard and you have shot extra targets, you will be charged $0.50 for each target. This way we will have numbers to dispute the overages and collect for the extra shot targets.  
The next shoot is scheduled for May 15 at Cajun Elite. Hope to see you there!!!!!
