Winners announced in May 15 400-yard match

This was without a doubt, the wettest match we have ever held. Winds were light, rain was heavy. Walt and I did plan ahead and wore raingear, but we still got soaked during target changes. We had a good turnout, with a few new faces. 37 targets were shot.


The unlimited class was the closest we have had, with a 3 way tie. All 3 shooters scored 23 out of a possible 25 points.

Here are the results from the 5/15/11 400 yard Deer Target Match:

Club note:

Linda Soliday has become a regular shooter at our matches for twoyears now. She is our first female winner, and if she keeps improving the way she has, we may have to put a bounty on her head to get more club marksmen to come out to the matches and compete!

Congratulations Linda and keep on shooting!
