The April Military "As Issued" match had a larger than usual turnout with 9 shooters showing up for the event.

Submitted by Steven Gordon on

April did not bring showers or flowers or any of that stuff. It did bring a whole lot of Bowling Pin Shooting and fun and Hamburgers! After a great day on the range, we broke out the portable grill and cooked! While you never know what can happen at the end of a pin match, you can certainly find out on May 4th, when we hold the next one. For those of you who care more about the shooting than the eating, results are posted below.
