This year's True Grit match definitely brought out the "true grit" in all of us.  The temperature hit a high of 107 both days.  Saturday also had around 75% humidity on top of that.  Along with the heat we still had the stages to deal with.  We shot 6 on Saturday and 4 on Sunday.  Each stage averaged around 100 seconds each.  So you get an idea of how complicated they were and how much lead we had to send down range.  Thanks to Buckshot Pete for writing all the stages this year.  He did a very fine job.  All in all, it was a fun time.  We hope you all enjoyed yourselves.  I know the "River" sure felt good after the shooting was over.  Although we have no control over the weather, I'm sure next year won't be as warm.

 

Congratulations to all the winners and thank you all for coming.   We hope to see you again next year.

 

Warmest Regards,
