I  had seen it over 115 degrees recently and that's  tough even for seasoned locals.  Fortunately,  partial overcast and  shooting from under cover made conditions more tolerable today. </div> <bR> <div> By 9:15AM  we had 8 shooters signed-in and began our first relay.   Following USARB guidelines we shot at 25 meters distance, 3 target cards, 25 scored targets per card; each card timed at 20 minutes.</div> <bR> <div> Our second relay included three of the later arrivals and since we had the bench space, a couple shooters from the first Relay decided to shoot  another target card or two just for fun and practice.</div> <bR> <div> Four shooters scored over 700 points.  TOP SCORE Honors went to Dennis D. with a score of 729 points with 24 X's.  There was a tie for Second between Bill S. and Jerry M.  They both bagged 719 points but Bill had 3 more X's to secure second place.   </div> <bR> <div> Thanks to those who arrived extra early to set-up;  also to the folks who scored the target cards and help put our toys away.   Many hands make light work.  Thanks for the<A HREF="id263.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Photos 81119"><U> pics </U></A>too.</div> <bR> <div> SCORES:</div> <bR>
