Last year we filled to capacity (30 shooters), until two canceled due to unavoidable circumstances. So, it is highly recommended that you pre-register.

Just a shameful bump for this match!

We don't look as full at this point as we were last year

Ed,

I appreciate you posting the message as I wouldn't have known about the match. I hope you relays fill up.

See you in a couple of weeks.

Brian

Thanks Brian,

As you will see, we have a whole extra area just asking for ten more targets. If we can generate enough interest, we'll put them in.

To Ed and Bruce (Match Director),

I want to thank you both for running an excellent match and it was well worth the drive.

I hope to attend next year's match and would encourage anyone within reasonable driving distance to attend.

Well, attendance was down quite a bit, disappointingly. But, we had three great days of comfortable weather and 18 competitors came out of the woods, to include Brian, from Canada.

The 2009 Champion successfully defended his title, along the way setting two new match records. A previous champion also set two new match records and tied one of his older ones.

Information and scores can be found at:

I hope we'll see more of you next time.
