Eight shooters showed up to compete, Dana from the Bay area, and Matt from Acton, both joined us with their Thomas Slug rifles, it was nice they were here.
A new shooter came to check it out and decided to shoot, Joe Silva is an army veteran and was a pleasure meeting and hope he will become a regular.
We missed Ed, Dan, and Song
Conditions for the first match were calm yet difficult to read. Second match well there was a whole lot of switches.
Congrats to Dennis for some great shooting, was happy he shot a 750 series.
Keith again missed the little changes but still shot well.
Lou had trouble in the first match, ammo problems but got it all sorted out for the second match. He just needs to check his target afterwards to see if all the bulls have a hole. Still was very happy with his results.
Joe Silva had a good time especially when he shot some Lapua through his rifle for the second match for his 1st try, 1st time 250, his scores improved greatly.
Overall another fine match with a great bunch of shooters, lucky to have them here.

New guy Joe S. shows us that you don't need much to shoot a 250 (2nd match). 75yo rifle, 20x scope, no flags, simple rest, narrow stock.
Here's a pro tip. Don't forget to shoot a bull.

that was amazing - except for the missed target. Ammo picks the rifle... But then I heard it's the Indian not the arrow
