Cease Fire?

Cease Fire? Somethings wrong with this picture! I had the shooters get into position last night with bolts open and fingers off the triggers so we could get a few rare photos from in front of the firing line. Photo by James Lee

Thank god the sun came out last night…I was about to crack after a week of rain. And boy did we have a beautiful evening to shoot; warm, sunny, and little wind. We had a record 16 shooter turnout last night as well, because I imagine everyone just wanted to do something outside after all the rain. I took the third place slot with a 399-23x with iron sights and Chuck Cannon secured second place with a 399-28x. Erik Hoskins emphasized the fact that he really, really likes shooting scope by hammering a 400-36x (with a 200-20x on the second stage) and taking top honors. Complete results can be viewed here.

After the match everyone had a great time eating pizza, popcorn on the campfire, and chatting with friends. I took a TON of pictures last night and you can see them on Flickr or in the slideshow below.
