In order to celebrate our first full season of field target matches the Sacramento Valley Field Target Club is holding a season ending field target championship on Sunday November 9th, 2014. It will be a 60 shot field target match with awards for the top finishers in the PCP, Piston, Hunter PCP and Hunter Piston classes. We will have some nice raffle prizes that the competitors will be eligible for and a nice lunch and beverages will be provided after the match..
So come on out and help us celebrate the end of the season and have a fun day shooting field target at the Sacramento Valley Shooting Center. We will set up a challenging but fun course to test your skills We will be shooting from under cover so the match will be held rain or shine.

I plan to be there tomorrow. I don't own any pistols though, but I'll still hang out to see the pistol match. Only 4mph winds forecast for tomorrow. I think that is a new record low or something!
