Winterseed? Not this shoot. Instead 18 people came out over two days to brave the mud at Pelham Fish and Game.
The ground started frozen and cold, covered in frozen puddles from the rain Friday. By midday Saturday if you stood in one place too long you had no choice but to attend Sunday. Despite this we had not a single complaint about the mud. One shooter, Jake, even came out and shot sans mat to put it all in perspective for the rest of us weaklings.
Sunday afternoon we made it over to the 200 yard range for the first time and got a chance to see exactly how these skills transfer over.
We had three Riflemen: Cindy, Cyrus, and Gary. Great job guys! Everyone else is well on their way to earning their patches. With the positive attitude the exuded from this group I'm sure we'll see them all again earning a patch real soon.

Ninsho did a great job getting an exception from the club allowing us to use the 200 yard silhouette range.
