San Diego Schützenguilde
23, 24 and 27 November, 2025
Oktoberfest

We had 3 days of good weather - low 60's and 70's.   Winds were fairly calm in the early to mid mornings and then things got interesting!  Late mornings on Thursday and Friday were quite challenging with switching, gusty winds.  Sunday's conditions for the .22RF matches were quite good and held out for most of the day.   Medals and awards were presented at Philippi's pizza at the conclusion of  Sunday's match along with antipasto salad, pizza and beer. Thanks go to our Schützenmeister for putting on a great  match!

Thank you for taking the time to post the pics. It is nice to put a face on far away names.
