Sunday November 27th, 2011 dawned clear and although it clouded up a bit by afternoon, the weather was balmy and warm - low to mid 60's - great weather for the first shoot at Sippican Rod & Gun Club in Rochester, MA. 11 shooters came out for a day shortened by the end of Daylight Saving Time. Some of the club members had been asking for a shoot closer to home, for them, down near Cape Cod, so we were able to oblige.
No Riflemen were made but some great progress was shown by all shooters - it was possible to watch the group sizes shrinking with each target.
There were 8 10/22s of varying configurations, an AR with a .22 upper, a CZ bolt gun, and a 1903 Springfield being shot - LEFT HANDED - by shooter Tim.
Instructor Round Trip re-routed himself down to Sippican at the last moment as we thought we might have to move to two ranges. IITs Lakevillian and Davidgw1 did a great job of RSOing. A good crew!
A few pictures during the day...
