'09 Tube Shoot
     The 2009 Tube Shoot was another roaring success, thanks to the warm hospitality of the hosts Steve, KL7OF and his wife Jan.  Held for the 7th year in the woods near Tumtum, Washington,  Steve has a wonderful shooting range with targets set up at 100, 150 and 200 yards as you can see in one of the photos.
     This year we had a couple of first-time attendees, Roy, KA7NGT and Dick, KB7RIK and most of the usual attendees as well. The weather with crisp, cold with some rain and snow on Friday afternoon but it did little to dampen the spirits of the hard-core Tube Shooters!  A great time was had by all!  
     Thanks to KL7OF, W7TRO and W0LU for additions to my collection of photos.  Click on any picture to open the slide show and blow up the size of the pictures.
