I hope this notification finds everyone in good health and well being ....
This month we will have our 1st official match and it will be our JIM CYRAN memorial event. A full lunch and goodies will be provided to all registered shooters this day. Morning Munchies & Lunch post match.
We did get rained out in march, so this match & activities just got bumped to this months event.
It has been brought to my attention that some are requesting a Buy / Sell swap meet to happen as well .... So being some have already exchanged E-mails to all the members on this subject, LETS HAVE A LOW KEY SWAP MEET if anyone chooses to participate bring some gear to sell & some money in your pocket so you can buy as well.
* We could as a club function have the 2nd match of each season be an Annual Club Swap Meet ? We can have this conversation in the future is wishing for it to be an annual event.
So WE ARE ON !!!! Sunday April 28th Sacramento Shooting Center Range #9
* Set up starts @ 7:30 .... Practice @ 8:30 and Match starting by @ 9:30
Thank You,

What a season Opener !!! Beautiful sunny day, low winds @ 70 degrees !!!
After March's Rain Out, our season opener / Jim Cyran Memorial Match is in the books having a great turn out of no less than 28 shooters !!!
Our morning started about 7am getting all the gear out of storage box, bricks etc ... others started showing up shortly there after and we get the course all established by @ 8:00
As the crew starts arriving the tables start filling up with stuff for sale .. Rifles, optics etc !!! Some really killer stuff and great deals to be had if you were packing some $$$
We let the Swap meet run as we also opened up practice range sequentially. The shooters safety meeting was called at 9:25 when squad assignments were handed out.
28 folks on 15 lanes pretty much filled out the course ... and Away they went getting after the steel quarry
Todays event being the first of the 2024 season was set at a lower Troyer value and was by estimate a Cleanable course, tho as is typical a few real stinkers ( Small KZ ) targets were in play to catch those w/o good DOPE data and too much "I got this" feeling .. yea that evil match director strikes again.
On our offhand lane ( In memory of Jim C & his disliking Kneeling ) Lol ... if you could take all 4 shot Kneeling there were double points for the second target have days potential of 62 points possible. Many but not all took on the challenge.
