What better way is there to
celebrate the Fourth of July than
to camp in the woods and compete
in a black powder shoot?
"What the heck,” Bob Townsend
might say.

He called the shoot a warm-up
for the Barlow T rail Black Powder

problem.
Slaboda said Camera Connection
sponsors the race as a way to con
tribute to the Sandy Mountain Days
festivities Runners can comtf to town
and compete, and then have the rest
of the day to take in the festival.
About 50 competed in the race two
years ago The second run drew just
shy of 100 Slaboda expects to top 100
this year, but points out that the
Almost I OK is competing with a lot of
other races throughout the area.
Sandy thus placed third, while Salem
went on to beat the Portland Blue

He and his wife have lived on the
10 acres for about three years
They moved here from Gresham,
where they had lived since 1927
Having moved to Washington at
age 2 (from California) and to
Oregon at 7, he figures he's at least
a near-native
He said that he and his wife did a
lot of looking before they decided
on the property south of Sandy A
range developed over the past few
years, with a 31-target tra il cur
rently set up.
Some might not like the idea of
men (and women) in buckskins,
moving along a tra il and firing
50-caliber rifles at targets, on their
property. Townsend doesn't mind
though He can’t see that they're
doing any harm, and he's glad to
help fill the void caused by a lack
of ranges
Townsend, president of the
Gresham Rifle Club, keeps busy
enough This spring he taught
hunter's safety to a class of about
46 youngsters
He finished 12th in the shoot,
scoring a 25 9 with his percussion-
fired (with a cap» Thompson
Center Lloyd Gray of Sandy, a
member of the Barlow Trail Club,
won the shoot with a 31 8 out of a
possible 32.
Having a good time seemed as
much a goal as winning, though
"Everybody enjoyed it, even with
the ra in ." Townsend said On the
Fourth "they'd a never gone to
bed When it rained it put them to
bed," said Townsend Oh well,
