Dear Friends and Fans of Mid-Range Shooting (600yds);
The predicted rain did not materialize during the second of this summer’s nine scheduled Mid-Range Challenges but the wind certainly made its presence felt, especially during the second match of the day.
Twenty-eight scores were logged inn two matches. Statistically minded readers will note that the last match with a winning score lower than 100 was back on July 18, 2018, when Jared Beck lead a small field with a 99-4x.
New shooters from Gillette and DuBois joined us today, as did new competitors from Riverton (check the names below). Hopefully they considered their trips worthwhile and will be back for the Sunday June 2nd match.
There is a certain logistical challenge to these matches (target set-up, pit crews, etc.) but with the cooperation of the participants, all ran smoothly. All please accept my appreciation as Match Director.
As noted above, the next Mid-Range Challenge is scheduled for Sunday June 2. Watch your email for details and plan to be there. Spectators are always welcome.
