What an interesting day, 6:30 am and it is just starting to rain here in the foothills & while driving out to the more valley situated Range we drive out from under the weather.
Our day starts off cloudy & humid but no rain at the Sac Valley Shooting Center !!!
We have a pretty good group assembled before 8am with able & willing bodies eager to get set up. This month the MD just assigns set X lane between @ 4 individuals allowing them to pick placement and size KZ appropriate to the distance. We get 15 lanes of 2 per set up with an extra bell target ( 3 ) making for a 62 shot match.
As a giggle shared during match it was asked .. When did the Club Acquire SO MANY No kill zone size targets ? We'll assume that being a comment on the difficulty present at today's SVFTC club / Fun match
After getting the match targets in place, check overall layout and placement the crew gets to practice for a 1/2 hour or so. We get no stragglers making squading and general speed to get the match going easy peezy. We have 22 shooters, very shoot-able weather, near calm winds as we start our semi informal match by @ 9:30 after a shooters meeting.
