Some drivers felt all was lost a* they made the drive to the Ranch Wednesday morning and their motors got hot. But after a little cooling off, a.id taking the climb in accordance with tiie posted signs, the line of trr.ific moved along, and once at the top, every one was just a big congenial group { of folks interested in the one thing ?the shooting match. The visitors who were attending for the first time, seemed keenly interested in watching the bullets being poured. Others displayed unusual curiosity over the man ner in which the muzzle loading rifles are prepared for shooting. The pouring of powder from an ancient powder horn, tamping the bullet .and firing all consumed more time than the modern way of throwing in a manufactured shell and pulling the trigger. Sometimes a little too much powder would send up an unusual puff of smoke, and startle both the shooter and the casual specta tors There were 140 targets used dur ing the day. Each shooter got three tries at each target. Each target was carefully measured down to the nth of an inch. , Each shooter had a choice of shooting prone from a bear rug, using a log to rest his or her rifle, or by taking it standing up. Those standing up shot from a distance of 40 yards. Those using a rest had to send their bullet 20 yards further to the target. Mrs. Margaret Coman won top place for the women for the fifth consecutive year. Second place went to Suzanne Curry, a high school junior here. In the men's division of 60 years and older, the top place went to W. A. "Bill" Bradley, who has perhaps attended all 15 of the events. Second place went to H. S. Hall, father of Mrs. Coman; and Willis Bumgarner of Waynesville was third. Hall is from Asheville. In the age group from 40 to 60, Tom Mulj of Waynesville was first, with Branson Chandler also of Waynesville, second, and Elmer Frady of Asheville, third. In the group of 20 through 39, the first place was won by Val Forgett, of Teaneck, N. J., with Charlie Putnam, Hazelwood, sec ond, and George Browning, Way nesville, third. In the boys' group, through 19, the first place went to Dan Par rish, of Daytona Beach, Fla. He was followed by Charles Loftis, Waynesville. and Bill Bruner of Clemson College, S. C. Many visitors, I observed, were interested in the manner in which many of the pioneer families of the Smoky region went about the business of making bullets, load ing and firing the long, slender barreled rifles. They handled their guns as professionals?and I guess they are. For example, there were the three Rich brothers from Maggie, Jim, Frank and Floyd. And from the Balsams were the Arringtons, Don, Frank and Herman, while Qlenn and Nathan Messer from ^Hemphill, and the Suttons, from Maggie. Ed Browning, winner of last year's match, was on hand and en joyed being the defending champ of men over 60. George Alexander, the 10-year old son of Tom and Judy Alexand er, owners of the Ranch, was the youngest shooter, while Elza L. Horton, 81, of Lenoir held the title of the oldest marksman. Mr. Hor ton shot seated on a chair, with the rifle resting on another chair across a log, and steadied by Tom Alexander. Throughout the day various mu sicians fiddled away and added to the festivities. Several banjos were spotted, and their plonk-plonk kept rhythm with the periodic firing of the rifles. Three people served as master of ceremonies ? Jonathan Woody, Read Wilson, and Hooper Alexand er, Jr. Between "them, constant verbal pictures of the activities was given the spectators. Judges for the 13th event in i eluded R. Getty Browning, chief locating engineer of the state high way department; Col. J. H. Howell and Ed Mottlnger, of Waynesville. R. A. Griswold of Louisville, Ky.. was target master. Climaxing the day's activities, Getty Browning presented a book on bear hunting written by his father to host Tom Alexander, "in appreciation of his genuine hos pitality." xn looking back over the 15th event, and barring the sunburn, I feol like using the famous phrase of the circus: "Bigger and better than ever."
