ITTY BITTY, AREN’T THEY?!
AND YES, THAT IS A NORMAL SIZE QUARTER!
It’s that time of year when the baby rattlers start appearing mostly around the firing line. The picture above with the quarter for reference gives you an idea of just how small these baby snakes are, and how easy they are to step on inadvertently.
Please let the line officer know immediately if you find one curled up. We have the equipment to safely remove it and re-home to a not-near-the-firing-line area.

WRAP UP
and THANK YOUs
for
LASC’s 2026
CALIFORNIA STATE SILHOUETTE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCHES for LEVER-ACTION RIFLE!
The matches over the three-day period were a great success and lot of fun and anticipation. We had more shooters this year than our last State Championships. It was wonderful to see some new faces and to welcome back those who regularly participate in our annual event (and we wish they would come more often).
For all those who participated, Match Director Dennis Ostler will be sending out a follow-up email with all the match results and information, including a link to the photos that were taken. Be on the lookout for that email shortly.
THANK YOUS
First, thank you to all the shooters who entered the event, many traveling across states to get to LASC despite the high gas prices in California. LASC looks to make this event about you, the shooter, and make it as enjoyable a time as possible. We truly appreciate your participation.
THANK YOUs to the following who helped LASC put on our biennial match. We could not do it without you!
JOE CADENAS and the LASC TARGET SETTERS
Joe and the crew of dedicated target setters made it possible to run the two daily matches over the three days efficiently. Without Joe’s diligence and the target setters seemingly non-stop energy, there could not have been such a smoothly-run match.
MARIO’S CATERING
Mario’s catering stepped up to the plate and delivered gourmet dinners and lunches. Thank you, Mario’s Catering, for keeping our attendees and crew spoiled with your delectable dishes and stellar menus!
BILL FEIERABEND
Bill, who when he was in the So Cal area always shot at LASC, came down from Northern CA to call the line during the match. He is a Master Line caller with an eagle eye for any potential issues. Thank you, Bill, for keeping the shooters and target setters safe.
JIM HENRY
Jim was able to make it down for the first Saturday of the event to help as many shooters as he could with their rifles. Thank you and Penny for supporting our match.
JERRY NAPIER
As club President, LASC could not have put on this match without him. He was instrumental in making sure the LASC facilities were in top-notch condition and providing the behind-the-scenes essentials for a match of this scope. Thank you, Jerry!
DENNIS OSTLER
Last but not least is the irreplaceable 2026 Match Director, Dennis Ostler. He literally made this match happen.
Thank you, Dennis!

One final comment for the 2026 Wrap Up section:
“Boy, Did we miss Ruby Cardenas!”
Ruby takes care of the check-ins, release forms, payment, etc., for our matches. She was away helping family, and we hope to see her smiling face back soon at LASC!

It’s been unusually hot the past two weeks, BUT it looks like as of this newsletter, the weather is cooling down over the next few days and is due to be in the mid-80s during the day to mid-60s at night. LASC should be warm but pleasant.
And, we do have the air conditioned clubhouse when you need a break with plenty of water and drinks ready.
SO, DON’T LET THE WEATHER STOP YOU FROM SHOOTING!

We need members to help set up the range prior to the annual Extravaganza.
