Quick summary- we had a beautiful day, skies blue and full of white fluff. Redtails danced and shrieked overhead as the targets fell, and fall they did.
There were some tricky setups- a red cardinal with a 1/2" kz at 29 yards, a black owl, 1" kz at 42 hidden in the dark shade of the corner of bay 1.
The KZ was black rimmed and almost unknowable. One had to shoot by feel.
5 offhand stations, with a tributary "mulligan" in honor of Dane Fitzgerald, if needed. We lost one of the good ones with Dane passing, but two of the other good ones returned to us and knocked off the rust. Welcome back Robb and Jack, good to see you in good health. A final welcome back to the man in the bowler- still shooting one of those windup guns.
The range was especially hard to set up today- we had to convert the Action Pistol range into an air gun range, moving heavy wooden shooting stations for access to the land beyond. Jim Mizer, Eric Shieh, Dana and Steve D' really put their backs into both setting up and tearing down. Everyone did something, and it was a great result.
Eric Shieh shot his 4th match with his Swedish pop gun and tied for 1st in Hunter PCP- and won his Sharpshooter metal to boot.
Here are the totals- Riz is heading to Puerto Rico Tuesday morning for warm weather and high winds at their GP.

Next month- Diablo has their match on the 3rd Sunday (St. Patrick's Day!) and then Sac. Valley kicks off their season on Saturday the 23rd, in Ione.
It's going to be a great Spring!
