Dear Fans and Friends of .22LR BR Shooting:
The morning of May 22, the day of the 6th .22LR 50yd Bench Rest Fun Shoot of the 2017 season, featured cool temperatures, a slight wind, and brilliant blue skies, the kind of morning that would confirm one’s decision to live in this part of the world if any confirmation were necessary.
But by noon, the skies to the west were gray and the forecast threat of mid-afternoon rain appeared possible.
I arrived at the range at 1:30pm. Rain was falling and the wind was blowing. It did not appear that things would improve so the executive decision was made to cancel the match. Sometimes discretion is the better part of valor.
Thanks to those who showed up despite conditions and to those who called. You are all very much appreciated.
Charlie Piette
Match Director
