We beat the heat !!

With a throng of early birds waiting at the gates before 8 a.m., the Sac FT gang makes a rush at getting set up ... some practice done and we get the match going by 9:30.

WAY TO GO SACRAMENTO !!!

17 brave souls made it out from throughout Northern Cal with Lonnie S long hauling it from Santa Cruz .... We so love this degree of commitment

Course was setup to be rather speedy in getting it shot with at best estimation of 30-ish Troyer. 1/2" targets X3 inside 15 yards kept it aim small miss small serious, those mid range some view as easy 1" in the 30-40 yard ranges kept many on their toes with some 1 1/2 to 2" at 50 yards rounded off the 48-shot course set at today's venue.

Results were a slew of VERY good scores by all classes banging away at the steel quarry. Think a good balance of difficulty was present with the less experienced shooters making a better than average hit percentile & the club's top guns right at the top or near it down nary a few hits of cleaning it.

Have to give Cameron a shout out ... He was CLEAN until his last lane and LAST target, LAST shot ... with an audience of semi-silent hecklers the target stood in defiance !!

After we were done, the Sac Valley FT crew tore down the course super fast, allowing all to escape the heat into the clubhouse where sandwiches, drinks, chips & cookies awaited.

Thank you Jack C & Robb R for taking care of this while our leader Jim C, absent from today's match, was in Ohio shooting the Pyramid Cup FT match.

To All our Loyal & Hard-working / Shooting members .... THANK YOU for coming out on this blistering hot day making August's match another successful one !!!

CYA all in IONE next month
