March 25th Sacramento Valley Field Target Match Rescheduled to Saturday March 31

(1/4) > >>

22Jim:

Looking at the current and projected weather through this weekend I made a decision to reschedule our March 25th Field Target match to Saturday March 31. The chance of rain for Sunday has risen to 70% and it is supposed to rain heavily for the next few days which would turn our course into a muddy quagmire. The weather projections starting Monday through the following weekend are for warm dry weather.

Rather than cancel the March match I decided to schedule it for a Saturday, I hope you can make it, if not we will see you in April.

The match is weather dependent and will not be held in persistant rain. We shoot from covered positions so the match will take place in a light rain.

I'm not sure if the Regal will be ready yet...  The weather hasn't cooperated with getting it sighted in.  But if not, I'll be there with a lean and mean HW50 that will be ready to take down some metal animals!

BRING SOME MUD BOOTS Folks !!
setting up & tearing down likely to be a bit challenging with all this rain & sadly not likely to drive my truck out into the ranges vast mud bog.
