We had great weather and a nice turnout today.  We were able to successfully run 3 relays in the same time it takes us to normally run two, which will allow us to expand capacity for future matches up to 16 entrants even with the temporary social distancing measures.  

In the rifle match the M1 Garand shooters showed up en Masse with 7 of the 13 entrants including 3 of the top 4 places! Frank shot a very solid 195 with an incredible 16 V's.  Ted was runner up coming off a great showing last month with an extremely competitive 189-7. 

Scores in pistol were great, I think this is one of the first times all shooters have been above 400! Curtis and Bob shot one of their best scores. 

Congrats to the top 50%!
