Start (on 100yd line) look for big red dot (target) go to the right, see 1-3/8" white dot on brown cardboard. That's the sight-em-in target.  Martini International Mark II, 22 LR.

THANKS, Charlie - good time!

Neat picture, CW. How can you guys stand to shoot on such lush ranges? Around here that'd be a golf course or loaded with picnic lunches and frisbee throwing kids. Weeds, rocks and dirt are the main courses of fire at our ranges.

CF - it's a tough job, but it is compensation for living 4 or 5 hours from Washington DC.

Well, it's rough on the range... I was a little worried that it was a bit overgrown, since we've had so much rain this Spring and so far this Summer; but then we have to go down to the air conditioned club house for lunch.  There we have a full commercial type kitchen facility and restrooms with hot and cold running water (and showers) included as well.  Isn't that the way a shooting club is supposed to be set up?

This weekend we had to share the overall facility with the skeet tourney, they were many and we were few, but all the facilities were available to all as needed.  Thanks go out to our hosts, the Brushy Mountain Club.

PS  Normally we have a bunch of wind flags, but Friday was so calm we didn't really need them.  Today (Saturday) Tommy showed up with his collection of wind flags so we could read the (slight) wind.
