@pcray Paul, here is a article from the Albany Business Review

California was added to New York's travel advisory list, which requires travelers coming from designated states to quarantine for 14 days.
The total number of states now meeting the criteria for New York's travel quarantine list is now 45 — including the neighboring states of Massachusetts, New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania, making it impractical for New Yorkers to travel just about anywhere out of state.
Massachusetts, which shares a border with New York, met the criteria for the travel advisory this week, but Gov. Andrew Cuomo said it is not practical to restrict travel between bordering states. Instead, Cuomo is discouraging nonessential travel between New York and Massachusetts as well as Connecticut, New Jersey and Pennsylvania while they meet the travel advisory criteria.
"We know Covid is spreading at increased rates in other states and New York State is not in a hermetically sealed bubble. The numbers are a reminder that COVID is still here and continues to spread in communities across the state, particularly when people choose not to follow the safety protocols in place to control the virus," Cuomo said in a press statement. "Now, 45 states and territories meet the requirements for our travel advisory. We cannot let our guard down and risk going backwards in New York."
Thanks to the 18 shooters that came to the NYS match today! Awesome turnout considering how crazy this year has been!
Match report and photos coming soon. Thanks!

Hi all!
Yesterday we enjoyed superb weather here in the Hudson Valley region of New York for our annual State Championship match. A slight left to right wind was all we had to deal with. I personally held just outside the kill for all the long targets...even that 45 yard kneeler!
The course I laid out was pretty tough. 12 standers, 6 kneelers....plenty of long shots....two at 55, two at 52.5, two at 50 and the rest between 40 and 45(some with reducers) And the "Elevator" This is a very high angled shot which is quite challenging!
We had 18 shooters participate. Including 6 juniors from a local 4-H club! Really awesome seeing young shooters getting into FT! And they could shoot!
Thanks again to everyone for coming out and DCPA for providing awesome facilities! Hope to see you all soon!
Paul

Paul,
Thanks for a great and challenging match! Very enjoyable to get out and get to see others we haven't seen this year Also, don't know how you did it, but the weather was perfect.
Let's hope 2021 brings us all back to some near normalcy so we get to see all the others we've missed!
Thanks again,
Greg

Greg,
Thanks for making the trip down and thanks so much for all the help you give our FT community! Yes, hopefully next year brings us back to a somewhat normal season!
AS for the weather....I do have special powers!

@bvan Seeing as it was a State match, making it tough seemed only fitting. Basically it was something one would expect at a World's match.
Those youngsters could shoot for sure!
And really nice having lunch with you and the boys! Good times!
Paul
