My latest knife, I won at the last Naval & Military Club of SA "Sporting Guns" shoot in February. Last event before the club had to close for the covid BS>

Now I won it as the prize for the "Not Just A Shooters Armpit" Award NJASAP Award, or some such award, allegedly for the worst result of the day! Now I am not sure that was true, and I shot with a group of Adelaide Club "Gentleman Guns" (we always have combined shooting events of the Naval & Military Club "Sporting Guns" and the Adelaide Club (Gentlemen Guns") some of who shot lesser scores than I. But each club awarded its own low gun award. Now I really like this knife so maybe will need to try to win the lowest score again!

We also had a great event called the Flush. Normally up to four shooters shooting. We had seven in our group. But were running out of shells, so I ran back to the club room to get some more boxes. When I returned the range officer/scorer couldn't work out how to handle me, so decided I had to shoot it by myself. Joy, about an audience of thirty persons by then.

What the flush was, was four clay target throwers all throwing a clay each, all at the same time, coming more or less directly overhead, like a rising pheasant or grouse. I actually shoot this type of overhead pheasant quite well. There would be sixteen throws of four targets. First I shot shot with two shells. But noticed two clays would cross. So next throw shot two with one shell and then a third with the second barrel. To my luck and enjoyment, I managed to get one every time, and often two or three clays with the two barrels. Unfortunately the score was only for a maximum of one clay per throw, so a maximum score of sixteen. Doubly unfortunate the Flush did not count towards the overall score, so alas, Not Just a Shooters Armpit.

I really like this Gerber knife. The blade is pretty unsuitable for hunting or butchering and skinning. It is more of a fighting knife. And similar to a Japanese Tanto is blade shape.

I do have more knives to show.
