Placeholder for Rex's writeup!
We had a great shoot in Clinton. I especially want to commend everyone for persisting through the thunder storm that completely soaked us all on Saturday and then the sun and heat that sapped our energy on Sunday. The conditions were against us yet everyone stuck with it. A few shooters were getting some nice groups on each course of fire but they couldn't quite put them all together at the same time. Hopefully they can work on their skills at home so when they come back they will earn their rifleman patch.
Thank you to Glenn and the Izaak Walton club for hosting the event. Your hospitality, range preparation, and clubhouse facilities were all very much appreciated. I'd also like to thank the instructors from Illinois who helped us out.
I took a few pictures during the event. I'll try to get some of them posted in the next day or two.
