22LR Rifle-Shooting -- Last Evening of Summer

It takes a REAL man to shoot a pink gun!

Crew --

This coming Tuesday night at 6:30PM, we will be holding our last evening shoot of the Summer.

We'll focus on shooting to simulate/practice the conditions of the upcoming match. We'll also sight-in the Savage match-rifles that folks have just received.

If any of you need to borrow a rifle for the upcoming match, please let Chris Ledman or me know. Also, we'll discuss options for shooting during the school-year -- Sunday afternoons?
