Skeet Champion

On Sunday, August 15, with clear skies and a warm breeze off Segekontacket Pond, Matt Gamache of Vineyard Haven captured the 2010 Rod and Gun Club Skeet Championship.

Mr. Gamache bested Bill Shanok and Edward (Spider) Andresen, who were tied for first place when Mr. Gamache came up in the second flight of the championship to crush two more targets to capture first place from them. Mr. Shanok and Mr. Andresen then had a shootoff to determine second and third place.

The club’s annual pistol championships will be held on Saturday, Oct. 9 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Rod and Gun Club’s target range. Members and nonmembers are welcome to compete. Refreshments will be available through-out the day.
