The third annual Halloween BSA Charity match was a complete success.  Mother Nature, God Bless her, completed her rain by our 9:00 AM start, and gave us balmy temperatures for the majority of the day.  As the day marched on, we experienced increasingly high winds, even to the point of causing a range shut-down when three targets were blown from their frames.   As a result scores in Stage Two were lower than Stages One and Three.  At the end of the day, we could see that we were testing Mother Nature's patience, so the final Stage was reduced to ten shots. 

Although the match wasn't decided until the last shots, Ray Gross performed well in all three stages, and was match winner in a field of twenty-nine competitors.  The participation was the best we have experienced to date at the Midland County Sportsman's Club facility for a long range match.
