October Beginner Intermidiate Match

We had 19 shooters and 28 guns for the match and had excellent weather for the October beginner/intermediate match. The match was conducted on bays 2 and 3 of the Action Pistol Range. It was cold in the morning but warmed up a lot by noon when we finished. We really turned the match on its ear this month with some weak and strong hand shooting as well as some precision shooting on a "bowling pin snake" which was shot from the stairs. We also had some long range shooting, including 2 stations with weak and strong -hand strings. One of the long range stations was shot from around the sides and through the windows of a barricade. All shooters indicated a clear desire to continue with type of match which stretched their abilities. The high score was only a 60. The lowest was an 18 although there were several scores in the 20s.
