Once we have the scores I will update this page to include them. Wish I could have been there!
Top 15 scores. Congratulations Tim Turnbull! The rest of the scores will be coming soon.
We had a very nice turnout today with 16 shooters for the first meat match of the season. This is an offhand match shot at 35 yards with a traditional open sight muzzleloader. There were 10 rounds and one optional money round. 1st and 2nd place won meat for each round.
Thank you Ron Lawrence for organizing the event and providing the food and drinks.
