What a great turn out for our first match!! The weather was ok, a little breezy but not obnoxious. We had 17 shooters and 21 guns. Coffee adn donuts during the sign-in put everyone in a good mood to start and then Chilli dogs afterwards made it a nice morning. Mr. Completely had a nice write-up of the event. Looking forward to our next one in April, hope to have a few more people out.
