Today was our first table shoot of the year.  As always, thanks for everyone that took the time to come and shoot with us.  It was cold, but not as miserable as had been predicted earlier in the week and those that showed up are hardened and dedicated shooters that scoff at weather, plus we took advantage of all the structures available. Steve's wife Carolyn served up a delicious meal of assorted brats, potato salad, baked beans, and more; Jeanette and I scored, and Steve got to shoot for a change, plus collected targets and ran the 50 yard mini-match.  A big thanks to Archie and Harold who were invaluable in helping make things comfortable over an extended area. 

9 shooters participated, and the top 5 strings were:
Carl K.       2.8890
Don R.       2.9910
Bobby G.   3.7400
Sterling M. 3.7870
Bo C.         5.1470

Congratulations, Carl!  That winter practice gave you the edge, but Don gave you a real run for your money.

The silver half dollar (donated by Bryan Station) for best X went to Bobby G., with 0.0650"; Sterling M. was just a tad behind with .0750'.  There were several good X's. Only one match was won with an X over 0.200, and a string of the best x's from each match would be only 1.356"!

Carl K. also took the 50 yard (one shot) match prize, beating out Bo C. by just a fraction of an inch.

I hope everyone had a good time (I know I did but I was comfy in the newly annexed scoring shed ), it was a pleasure to see you all after the break we took over the winter.  Next scheduled match is Sat. April 1.   As always, feedback welcome!
