Ok shooters, here it is, the Winter Match schedule.
A few changes this year, the most significant one is February and April matches will be 200 yard Groundhog targets. I February it will be called "The Kill Phil Match". My wife will be making a special for the Custom Class winner.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask me.
Thanks and see you then.
