I will be sending out awards (checks) sometime within the next week to team captains and individuals. The league is on facebook, VT Winter Postal League / National Rifle League; you can find updates about the league on that site as well as see photos from throughout the season. Please look us up, and share your team photos and “like” us. Please share this e-mail with your teammates and fellow shooters. I want to once again, thank you all for participating. Thank you to our club managers and coaches for organizing your teams; without your hard work this league and our sport would not thrive. The league has grown from a regional league to one of the largest in the country. We were lucky to have over 250 entrants this season with 38 teams. I will be sending out a separate e-mail in a few weeks with various suggestions and updates. It’s been a pleasure corresponding and getting to know you all please keep in touch during the off season. I hope the league has been helpful in growing and improving your own club’s program. It’s up to all of us to grow this sport; try and make a point of introducing just one new person to the sport during the offseason. I look forward to next season, ……………… see you all at the range.
