69 shooters braved the beautiful sunshine and incredible 70 degree weather to make it out to shoot our last match of the season. What an amazing turn out from an amazing group of people I like to call my friends. We had a few battles that came down to the outcome of this match for our season points, so the pressure was on for sure. Talk about keeping things competitive, the top 23 shooters are only separated by 10 impacts!!! To make that even more impressive, you have to scroll down to the 37th spot for 20 impacts behind 1st place.
