Scoring rules are very precise and demanding, but necessary for accurate scoring. Part of the process was 2 club members who were not competing, but performed those duties and did a great job following the USARB scoring rules.
More than just shooting and putting holes in paper it was a great social experience. There was camaraderie and conversation including typical shooter’s cuisine: dogs, pizza, and terrific homemade dishes.
This was a very prominent moment for our club brought to us by the efforts of Howard Williams and shooting members here at NBRGC.
The success was no accident, it was the accumulation of a lot of hard work and learning that will be leveraged for the next time. It would be great if this became an annual ritual.
