Remarks:
This was our first field target match for 2025. We were lucky to have 10 people brave enough to shoot in the cold windy weather. It snowed and then rained setting up the course the day before.

After a brief safety meeting, we had people assigned squads and lanes. I am happy to report we did not have any cold lines. We had left all the targets out all winter long and they functioned well. The course was the same setup from last year's CT state match.
The wind blew behind the shooting position and switched left and right in 45-degree angle. Many misses occurred when the wind switched directions upon taking a shot.
Scott forgot his fill probe for his FX rifle. He was only able to do 12 out of the 15 lanes.
Continental breakfast was served before the match, and chili was served for lunch after the match.
Thank you for the people who helped clean up afterwards.
