19 DESPITE HANDICAPS, PISGAH FOREST TEAM PLACES WELL IN NATIONAL SKEET SHOOT In spite of inexperience with pro fessional trap and skeet equip ment, five men from Pisgah Forest made what many observers termed an “outstanding performance” at the 27th National Industrial Trap- shoot at Middleton, Ohio. The Pisgah Forest team placed 61st out of 170 teams, scoring the same 218 points that the New Ha ven Winchester team scored in the 1975 tournament. The team lost its oldest and Dr. Eastes finest shot in the untimely death December 31 of Dr. John W. Eas tes, who although retired since April 1975 had con tinued an active role in the Olin Gun Club. Dr. Eastes partici pated in the Middleton trapshoot. Other members are Jerry Ricker and Dennis Taylor of Data Process ing, Frank Tinsley of Ecusta Ma chineroom, and Bill Rosendale of the Pilot Plant. The team had practiced mainly with the mechanical trap device at the rifle range, having no oppor tunity there for skeet shooting. Be fore going to Middleton they prac ticed half a dozen times with regula tion trap and skeet facilities at Flet cher and Hominy Valley. “But we had no previous exper ience of shooting under pressure with 800 people watching,” one participant said. They are hopeful of eventually upgrading Olin Gun Club facilities, and are confident that more and more employees will want to par ticipate if they are not stymied by the clumsy equipment they have to work with now. They will begin eliminations soon with the objec tive of rounding out the team quickly enough to get into shape for the 28th national tournament. The event is sponsored annually by the Armco Steel Corp, at Middle- ton and the National Industrial Rec reation Assn. APPOINTMENTS PHOEBE S.
